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 right or the left side 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 1/2” 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 con-
densation 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. 1/8” NPT plugged tappings 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 1/2 PSIG (3.5 KPa).
9. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by clos-
ing its individual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 KPa).
Note: The gas line connection may be made of 1/2” rigid 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.

Operating and Maintenance Instructions
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.
For safe installation and operation
note the following:
This appliance gives off high temperatures and should be located
out of heavy traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high sur-
face temperatures of this appliance and should stay away to avoid
burns or ignition of clothing.
Under no circumstances should this appliance be modified. Parts
that have to be removed for servicing should be replaced prior to
operating this appliance again.
Installation and any repairs to this appliance should be done by a
qualified service person. A professional service person should be
called to inspect this appliance annually. Make it a practice to have
all of your gas appliances checked annually.
Never use your gas fireplace as a cooking device.
The Burner/Log Assembly has been engineered and permanently
adjusted for proper flame control.
Periodically remove the logs from the grate assembly and vacu-
um any loose particles from the grate and burner areas.
Control compartments, burners and air passages in this appli-
ance should be kept clean and free of dust and lint. Make sure
that the gas valve and pilot light are turned off before you attempt
to clean this unit.
The venting system (chimney) of this appliance should be
inspected at least once a year and if needed, your venting sys-
tem should be cleaned.
Keep the area around your appliance clear of combustible mate-
rials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
This appliance should not be used as drying rack for clothing, nor
should Christmas stockings or decorations be hung near it.
Under no circumstances should any solid fuels (wood, paper,
cardboard, coal) be used in this appliance.
Note: It is normal for your gas fireplace to give off some
odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of
the paint and any undetected oil from the manufacturing
process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all win-
dows.
Warning:
When purging the gas line, the glass
front must be removed.
Do not alter gas orifice.
For the state of Massachusetts a
T-handle gas shut-off
valve
must be used on a gas appliance. This T-handle gas
shut-off valve must be listed and approved by the state of
Massachusetts. This is in reference to the state of
Massachusetts state code CMR238.
