IMPORTANT! Read all instructions carefully before starting 

installation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in 

property damage, personal injury or possible loss of life.

WARNING: If the information in these 
instructions is not followed exactly, a 
fire or explosion may result causing 
property damage, personal injury or 
death.

–  Do not store or use gasoline or other 

flammable vapors and liquids in the 
vicinity of this or any other appliance.

 – WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL 

GAS:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch; 

do not use any phone in your 
building;

• Immediately call your gas supplier 

from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the 
gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas 

supplier, call the fire department.

–  Installation and service must be 

performed by a qualified installer, 
service agency or the gas supplier.

  The Flue Damper must be in the  

full open position when burning the 
gas logs.

  This fireplace is to be burned only 

with the gas log set supplied with the 
fireplace. Burning other items could 
cause a fire hazard or injury.

  For best results, Natural Gas pressure 

should be 7" to 12" W.C. and 11" W.C. 
for Propane Gas.

  To simulate real wood burning, the gas 

burner is designed to burn a yellow 
flame. It is normal for the logs to soot-
up. The soot can be easily removed 
with a vacuum cleaner or soft brush.

  Check the label on the firebox to 

assure the proper gas type. Never  
use anything but the correct gas type 
for your fireplace. 

This appliance complies with National 
Safety and is tested and listed to ANSI 
Z21.50b - 2009 as Vented Gas fireplaces. 
Installation must conform to local codes. 
In the absence of local codes, installation 
must conform with the current National 
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

Massachusetts State Code requires 
damper to be welded open or removed.
