Vented Gas Log Appliance User’s Manual
Preparing for Installation
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
NOTICE:
Installation, service, and repair of this appliance must be performed by a qualified installer, service
agency, company, or gas supplier experienced with this type of gas appliance. Only factory-authorized parts
may be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, and all codes and requirements of the au-
thority having jurisdiction must be followed. Use of unauthorized parts or accessory items, or any alterations
to the kit, will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Using unauthorized parts or performing alterations may
also result in unsafe operating conditions.
Installation
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use only natural gas. If your gas supply is not natural gas, the On/Off Safety Pilot Valve Kit (see ACCESSORIES,
page 16
) must be installed. A gas supply shutoff valve must be installed if the fireplace does not have one.
VENTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR INSTALLATION
Ensure the fireplace chimney flue and vent are drafting properly by doing the following:
1. Ignite a rolled newspaper or other paper on one end and place it at the inside front edge of the fireplace.
2. Watch the smoke and check that the vent is drawing it up the chimney.
3. If the smoke is not drawn up the chimney, extinguish the flame and remove obstructions in the chimney
until it vents properly.
The chimney flue must remain open a minimum of 3" at all times during the operation of this appliance.
Chimney dampers must be fixed so that they maintain the minimum permanent vent opening at all times.
Installing a damper clamp to prevent the damper from accidentally closing is recommended (see page 8).
The minimum permanent opening (in square inches) is what must be provided by either the fireplace chim-
ney or chimney damper to vent the flue gases. The minimum vent opening for different chimney heights can
be found on page 6 (Per 1.15.7.; ANSI 1.14.1B).
If the area in which the appliance will be operated does not meet the required volume
for indoor combustion air, combustion and ventilation air must be provided by one
of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas
Code, or applicable local codes.
WARNING
This appliance requires a reliable source of fresh air for adequate combustion and
ventilation. This is essential for the appliance to operate properly and for your own safety.
WARNING
Before installing this appliance in a solid-fuel burning fireplace, a qualified chimney
cleaner must clean the chimney flue and firebox of ashes, loose paint, soot, and creosote.
Creosote ignites if heated to a high temperature. A dirty chimney flue may distribute soot
within the house. Make sure that the qualified chimney cleaner inspects the chimney flue for damage.
