INSTALLING
INSTALLATION OF BURNER INTO
EXISTING FIREPLACE
NOTE:
Installed only in a solid fuel burning fireplace with
a working flue and constructed of non-combustible mate-
rial. See chart on following page for minimum permanent
flue opening based on KBTU/HR and chimney height.
The damper must be secured so the minimum flue open-
ing will be maintained at all times.
Warning:
Before installing in a solid fuel
burning fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must
be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes, and loose paint
by a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote may ignite
when heated to a high temperature. Have chimney
flue inspected for damage. If flue system is
damaged, do not install the unit.
Warning:
Seal any fresh air vents or ash
cleanout doors located on the floor or wall of
fireplace. If this is not done, drafting may result
causing pilot outage or sooting. Use a heat-resistant
sealant. Do not seal chimney flue damper.
INSTALLING - DAMPER STOP
A damper stop is provided with vented log set. The
damper stop must be installed as shown in the dia-
gram, damper stop is for minimum flue opening.
If the clamp does not fit or provide the minimum per-
manent flue opening as per charts, have the damper
cut or drilled to provide minimum permanent opening
or install a permanent stop.
Warning:
Installation of vented gas logs in
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires the
vent damper be permanently removed or welded in
the full open position. Vented gas logs can not be
installed in a bedroom or bathroom in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts
