Improper installation or use may overheat the valve and cause malfunction which could result in a dangerous and possibly
deadly gas leak. Overheating the valve kit will also void your warranty.
To avoid overheating:
• The installation clearance dimensions that follow are MINIMUM clearances and must be met or exceeded.
• The clearance dimensions are from the burner GRATE,
NOT
the burner pan. Maintain at least 2-inches from the
burner GRATE while keeping the burner pan centered to the grate.
• Never install the valve kit behind the burner. The valve kit must be installed to the side and to the front of the burner
grate as shown.
• Ensure the orifice supplied by the burner manufacturer or an authorized hearth dealer for the gas type to be used is
installed in the burner. Never remove, drill-out, or use an orifice that increased the rated output of the burner.
• Fully open any solid doors (glass, metal, etc.), open all door vents, and remove any solid barriers from in front of the
fireplace while in operation.
• Ensure chimney flue is open while in operation.
