INSTALLATION
SET UP AND ASSEMBLY
Tools Needed
2 Adjustable Wrench (at least one of which has a range of 3/4”
for gas fittings)
2 Adjustable Pipe Wrenches
1 3/8” Nut Driver or Socket (for damper clamp)
BEGINNING INSTALLATION
1. Remove all contents from the burner shipping container.
2. Check the contents of the shipping container against the
shipping and packing list or the parts list in this manual.
Report any missing or damaged parts to your retailer.
3. Remove any and all protective wrapping from the appliance.
4. TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM.
5. Place the fireplace damper in the fully open position and
install the damper clamp over the lip of the damper
(the
damper must be in a fully open position any time that
this appliance is in operation)
. Using a 3/8” nut driver
or socket and turning in a clockwise direction, tighten
the damper clamp bolt until the clamp is secure. The
damper clamp must be in place to maintain the minimum
permanent vent opening. See the chart “Minimum Fireplace
Dimensions” on page 8 for correct venting.
Notice: The State of Massachusetts requires that the
chimney flue damper, when used with decorative gas log
sets, be welded open or completely removed.
6. Using two adjustable pipe wrenches (one wrench on the gas
stub, and one wrench on the fitting), remove the existing
cap or gas jet assembly from the gas stub in the fireplace
by turning the wrench on the gas cap in a counterclockwise
direction.
7. Clean the pipe threads on the gas stub using either a wire
brush or steel wool. Apply Teflon tape or pipe dope to the
steel fittings before making any connection.
Notice: All gas connections (except for brass to brass)
require Teflon tape or pipe dope.
INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE INTO A FIREPLACE
1. Place the Burner Pan into the fireplace. The unit should
be centered from both side to side and front to back in
the fireplace. The unit is shipped ready for right side gas
connection only. See Figures 4A and 4B.
2. Bend a 3/8” gas line to facilitate the gas connection between
the burner and the gas stub.
CAUTION:
Gas lines are easily kinked if bent too sharply.
3. Using two adjustable wrenches, and turning in a clockwise
directions, attach one end of the gas line to the brass
reducer fitting installed in the previous step (one wrench
on the brass gas line fitting, and one wrench on the brass
reducer fitting).
4. Using two adjustable wrenches, and turning in a clockwise
direction, attach the other end of the gas line to the brass
fitting on the burner (one wrench on the gas line fitting, and
one wrench on the brass fitting on the burner).
CAUTION
Make sure all gas connections are snug but DO NOT over
tighten!
STOP! IT IS OUR RECOMMENDATION TO LIGHT THE PILOT
AND TEST THE IGNITION BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SET
UP THE LOGS.
5.
CHECK FOR LEAKS!
Apply soapy water to each connection
and watch for bubbles. If bubbles are seen, turn off the gas
supply, retighten the connections and
CHECK AGAIN. DO
NOT
use a lighted match or other source of ignition to check
for leaks. Repeat this procedure until you are sure that there
are no leaks. Proceed to “FINAL SET UP on page 14.
CAUTION
DO NOT use sand in Liquid Propane Hearth Kits. Use the
Rockwool mix, provided with the Liquid Propane Change Kit.
FOR UNITS WITH REMOTE SYSTEMS
Millivolt burner systems are capable of operating with a remote
control system. See the instructions packaged with the remote
system that you have purchased for detailed installation and
operational characteristics. The following instructions are a
general guide for installation only.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls.
Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
You must secure the gas burner to the fireplace floor. If
not, the entire unit may move when you adjust the controls.
Movement of unit may cause shifting of the gas logs which
leads to sooting and improper burning. Grate movement
could cause a gas leak.
Special care is required if you are installing the unit into a
sunken fireplace. You must raise the fireplace floor to allow
access to gas log controls. This will insure adequate air flow
and guard against sooting. Raise the fireplace floor using
noncombustible materials.
Assembly Procedure:
1. Center the gas log unit in the fireplace or firebox. Make
certain the front feet of the grate sit inside the front edge of
the fireplace or firebox.
2. An anchor hole is provided in the two bottom side members
of the grate frame. After centering the grate correctly, mark
the hole positions on the fireplace/firebox floor. Drill two (2)
5/32" diameter holes approximately 1-1/2" deep for masonry
screws or 1/8" hole for sheet metal screws.
3. Anchor the grate to the fireplace/firebox floor using the
screws provided. Refer to Figure 5.
Proper installation of the grate is essential to prevent any
movement of the gas logs and controls during operation.
