Grand Canyon Gas Logs---3435 E. Atlanta Ave---Phoenix, AZ 85040
INSTALLATION
The damper clamp with hex bolt is provided as a means to prevent full closure of the damper blade. The clamp
is easily attached to most, damper blades with pliers or a wrench, and must be permanently installed. The
clamp is designed to prevent accidental closure of the damper when installed. Should the clamp not fit or fail to
provide the permanent vent opening listed in the table above, have a permanent stop installed, remove the
damper blade or have the damper cut to provide the minimum permanent opening required.
The Grand Canyon Gas Log set must be installed by a qualified professional service technician. Instructions must
be followed carefully to ensure proper performance and full benefit from the gas log set. Check to be sure the
log set is designed and labeled for the type of gas (natural or propane) supplied to the fireplace. Fireplace floor
must be level clear of debris and smooth.
WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance with this manual or failure to use only parts specifically
approved with this appliance may result in property loss, personal injury, or loss of life.
BURNER INSTALLATION:
1.
Make sure the fireplace gas supply is turned off
2.
Locate the gas-supply stub inside the fireplace and remove the cap. When removing the cap make sure
the stud does not turn, loosening the connection inside the wall.
3.
Center the burner from side to side and front to back. Ideally, the burner will be aligned directly under
the flue damper.
4.
Use the 3/8” / ½ “aluminum flex line connector to connect the gas supply line to the gas inlet on the
valve/burner. When bending the flex line use proper bending procedures to avoid kinking the tubing.
5.
Verify that connections are tight, then turn on the gas and check each connection using soap and water
solution. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME FOR LEAK TESTING. The soap and water connection should be
50% water and 50% soap. Brush the solution over the connections and check for bubbles. Any leak
must be corrected prior to proceeding with installation.
6.
Determine the valve system that is installed on the appliance, then proceed with lighting the pilot (
NOTE: Manual on/off valves do not have a pilot).
7.
Before lighting the appliance make sure the heat shield is placed back in the position it was when the
appliance was taken out of the box.
BURNER MEDIA INSTALLATION:
1.
Locate vermiculite (3 burner and LP units only) and the rock wool (Glowing Embers). Vermiculite is
used for all propane units and for the ember burner on the 3 burner appliance.
a.
Open the vermiculite, then evenly fill the entire ember pan area,
2.
Open the bag of rock wool, then spread it evenly throughout the entire ember pan area. Tear the rock
wool into smaller pieces and keeping it loosely packed will provide a better ember bed appearance.
