IMPORTANT INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
THIS BURNER FOR USE ONLY IN A FULLY FUNCTIONING SOLID FUEL BURNING
FIREPLACE CONSTRUCTED OF NON COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL WITH A WORKING
FLUE.
WHEN OPERATING, THE DAMPER MUST BE WIDE OPEN. THE FLUE MUST VENT ALL
PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION.
TO PROVIDE AIR FOR SAFE COMBUSTION, COMPONENT COOLING AND VENTING,
GLASS DOORS MUST BE KEPT WIDE OPEN WHEN THE BURNER IS ON . AFTER USE,

.
The installation and the provisions for combustion and ventilation air must conform with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 -
Latest Edition
or the
CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Guide
.
2. A manufactured home (USA only) or mobile home OEM installation must conform with the (U.S.)
Manufactured Home Construction
and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, part 3280,
or, when such a standard is not applicable, the Standard for
Fire Safety Criteria for
Manufactured Home Installation Sites and Communities, ANSI/NFPA 501A,
the U.S., or the

NOTE: Propane Valve Assemblies can be quickly identified by the Air Mixer hole present on the Black Iron Coupling.
WARNING:
MATCHLIT BURNER IS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE WITH PROPANE/LP
GAS. A SAFETY PILOT MUST BE INSTALLED ON ALL UNITS DESIGNED
OR CONVERTED TO BURN PROPANE/LP GAS
2.
If local gas supply valve is not already installed at the installation, install a gas valve on the supply line in or just outside the
fireplace in accordance with the provisions of the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - Latest Edition
or the
CSA B149.1 Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Guide
.
3.
Natural Gas Operating Pressures: The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment shall be 6
inches of water column. The maximum inlet gas supply pressure shall be 7 inches of water column.
4.
Propane Gas Operating Pressures: The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment shall be 11
inches of water column. The maximum inlet gas supply pressure shall be 14 inches of water column.
The gas supply must be regulated prior to input into the appliance. Never connect this
appliance directly to an unregulated Propane tank. Do not conduct line pressure testing in
excess of 1/2 psig without first isolating the appliance. see Pressure Testing, page 4.
Firebox Requirements:
1.
This gas log set must only be installed in a solid-fuel burning fireplace constructed of non combustible material with a working
flue. The flue must be operable and must exhaust all products of combustion.
Firebox Sizing Requirements:
2.
The minimum size (in inches) of the fireplace in which the log set is to be installed must be in accordance with the "MINIMUM
FIREPLACE SIZE IN INCHES" below:

Required Fireplace Preparation Prior to Installation:
1.
Firebox and chimney damper/flue must be thoroughly cleaned (if previously used for either gas or wood burning.)
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.
2.
The area around the installation must be clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and any other flammable vapors and
liquids. Provide adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation.
