WARNING
FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF YOUR GAS FIREPLACE PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
1. when an appliance is for connection to a fixed piping system, the installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 • NFPA 54; National Fuel Gas Code; Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1; or Propane Storage and Handling Code, CSA B149.2, as applicable.
2. This appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70; or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, if applicable.
3. THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL.
4. Always keep the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
5. Inspect the fuel supply connection (including the hose for LP models) before each use of the appliance. See Lighting
Instructions for removal of Access Panel.
6. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is damaged, it must be replaced prior to the appliance being
put into operation. Locate the hose out of pathways where people may trip over it or in areas where the hose may be
subject to accidental damage
7. Locate the hose out of pathways where people may trip over it or in areas where the hose may be subject to accidental
damage.
8. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of the high surface temperatures of this appliance and should stay
away to avoid burns or ignition of clothing.
9. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the area of the appliance.
10. Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance. This appliance should not be used as a
drying rack for clothing.
11. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.
12. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected before use and at
least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from
carpeting, et cetera. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance be
kept clean.
13. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
unit and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been underwater.
- Gas Line Installation -
This gas appliance should be installed by a qualified installer in
accordance with local building codes and with current CAN/CGA -
B149.1 or .2 installation codes for Gas Burning appliances and
equipment in Canada and the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223 in
the U.S.A.
1. The gas pipeline can be brought in through either the left side or the
bottom of the appliance. A knockout is provided at either location to
allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connection.
2. The gas control inlet is 3/8” NPT. Typical installation layout for rigid
pipe is shown at right.
3. When using copper or flex connector, use only approved fittings.
Always provide a union so that gas line can be easily disconnected
for burner or fan servicing. See gas specification for pressure details
and ratings.
4. When a vertical section of gas pipe is required for the installation, a condensation trap is needed. See CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2
for code details.
5. For natural gas, a minimum of 3/8” iron pipe with gas minimum pressure of 4.5” w.c. must be used for supply from the gas meter.
Consult with the local gas utility if any questions arise concerning pipe sizes.
6. Ports are accessible for test gauge connection both on the inlet and outlet of the gas valve.
7. Turn the gas supply ON and check for leaks. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME FOR THIS PURPOSE. Use an approved leak testing
solution.
8. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2psig [3.5 KPa].
9. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2psig [3.5 KPa].
Note: The gas line connection may be made of 1/2” rigid pipe, 1/2” copper pipe or an approved flex connector. Since some
municipalities have additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authorities and the current CAN/CGA - B149.1
or .2 installation code in Canada or the National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1 in the U.S.A.
IMPORTANT: Always check for gas leaks with a soap and water solution. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME FOR LEAK TESTING.
