IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from parts before turning the fire-
place ON.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found
with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual 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 manufac-
turing process.
8. Keep the area around your fireplace clear of combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapor and liquids.
This fireplace should not be used as a drying rack for cloth-
ing, nor should Christmas stockings or decorations be hung
on or around the fireplace.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated-
open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at
least ten (10) hours the first time you use it.
9. Under no circumstances should any solid fuels (wood, coal,
paper or cardboard etc.) be used in this fireplace.
10. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be
obstructed in any way.
11. When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl
tile or any combustible material other than wood, this
Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, woodburning or
oil fired appliances, and the products of combustion of such
fuels, contain chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.

Hearth
A hearth is not mandatory but is recommended for
aesthetic purposes. We recommend a noncombustible
hearth which projects out 12” (305 mm) or more from
the front of the fireplace. The hearth cannot exceed 1¹⁄₂”
(38mm) in height from bottom of fireplace for ease of
door accessibility. (Fig. 5)
Cold climate installation recommendation:
When installing this unit against a non-
insulated exterior wall or chase, it is
mandatory the outer walls be insulated to
conform to applicable insulation codes.
If a vapor barrier is used it can not come into
contact with fireplace.

FP1560
Fig. 6 Fireplace framing.
3. Frame the fireplace with a header across the top of
the standoff. (Fig. 6) It is very important to allow for
the finished wall face along with marble, tiles or any
other noncombustible face finish material desired
when setting the depth of the framing.
6. The U-channel located on the top of the unit as well
as the nailing flanges on the sides that were men-
tioned in Step 1, are designed to accommodate non-
combustible board (recommended Dura-Rock). They
are positioned 1” (25mm) back from the face of the
unit. NOTE: The U-channel depth can be adjusted
by loosening the hex nut inside the channel.
Valve Box
Assembly
If marble, tile or any other noncombustible decora-
tive face finish material is desired, a 3” (76 mm) wide
noncombustible board (recommended Dura-Rock)
is to be nailed to the nailing flanges on both sides
of the unit. Also, 12” (305 mm) of noncombustible
board is to be nailed to the front face of the U-chan-
nel and the top framing member above the standoff.
Bend
Line
Combustible material can then be brought to the
outside edges of the noncombustible board installed
earlier. Any noncombustible decorative face finish
could be brought to the sides and top of the unit and
can cover the framing and sheet rock. If a decora-
tive facing is not desired, then the noncombustible
boards must be double thickness and brought flush
with the face of the unit.

brush no larger than 1” (25 mm). Never
apply soap and water solution with a spray
bottle. Do not use an open flame for leak
testing.
WARNING: Improper installation, adjust-
ment, alteration, service or maintenance
can cause injury or property damage. Refer
to this manual for correct installation and
operational procedures. For assistance or
additional information consult a qualified
installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
The fireplace valve must not be subjected
to any test pressures exceeding 1/2 psi.
Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas
appliance control from the gas line when
pressure testing.
The fireplace is equipped with an inlet and manifold
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to pro-
vide a 1/8” test point up stream of the control.
When using copper, use only approved fittings. Always
provide a union when using black iron pipe so the gas
line can be easily disconnected for burner servicing. A
union may not be behind a wall. Refer to the gas speci-
fications for pressure details and ratings.

Operational Notes:
The Thermostatic feature on the transmitter operates the appliance whenever the ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a
certain number of degrees from the SET TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or TEMPERATURE
DIFFERENTIAL. The normal operating cycle of an appliance may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the
room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts. The factory setting for the “swing number” is 2. This represents a
temperature variation of +/- 2° F (1° C) between SET temperature and ROOM temperature, which determines when
the fireplace will be activated. This function is pre-set at the factory.
The transmitter has ON and OFF manual functions that are activated by pressing either button on the face of the
transmitter. When a button on the transmitter is pressed the word “ON” or “OF” will appear on the LCD screen to show
while the signal is being sent. Upon initial use, there may be a delay of three seconds before the remote receiver will
respond to the transmitter. This is part of the system’s design.
NOTE: The fireplace receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 2-position slide button on the module is
in the REMOTE position. If the system does not respond to the battery transmitter on initial use, refer to MATCHING
SECURITY CODES, and recheck battery positions in the remote receiver.
Thermostatic Updating Feature
This remote control has a THERMOSTATIC UPDATING feature built into its software. The THERMOSTATIC UPDAT-
ING feature operates in the following manner, while in the THERMOSTATIC mode.
The transmitter reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET
temperature and then sends a signal to the receiver.

General Venting
There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, gar-
den sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within 24”
(610 mm) from the front of the termination hood.
Your fireplace is approved to be vented either through
the side wall, or vertical through the roof.
• Only CFM Corporation venting components spe-
cifically approved and labelled for this fireplace
may be used.
Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow
or ice build up may occur. Be sure to check vent termi-
nation area after snow falls, and clear to prevent ac-
cidental blockage of venting system. When using snow
blowers, make sure snow is not directed towards vent
termination area.
• Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or
siding.
• Horizontal venting must be installed on a level plane
without an inclining or declining slope.
Location of Vent Termination
It is imperative the vent termination be located observ-
ing the minimum clearances as shown on following

The venting system must conform with local codes and/
or the current National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54.
Only venting components manufactured by CFM Cor-
poration can be used in Direct Vent systems.
NOTE: The joints of the inner pipe (flue pipe) must be
taped with 550°F or higher temperature metal adhesive
tape that meets the requirements of F.A.R. 25.853(a)
High temperature sealant milpack or stove cement
of 550°F or higher could be used instead. The joints
of The outer pipe (fresh air pipe) must be taped with
315°F or higher temperature metal adhesive tape or the
use of high temperature milpack or stove cement would
be applicable. When using the unitized 30°, 45° or 90°
elbows, apply 1/4” bead of high temperature, 550°F or
higher, sealant (milpack or stove cement) to the joint of
the inner pipe (flue pipe) and the straight section as it is
impossible to be taped. The outer pipe must be taped
with 315°F high temperature metal adhesive tape for
proper sealing.
FP1368
Fig. 14 Install pipe, listening for the snap-lock to fasten.
Horizontal Termination
The vent must rise vertically a minimum of 24” (610mm)
off the top of the unit, before the first elbow. The hori-
zontal run may extend up to 20’ (6 m) and include a ver-
tical rise of up to 40’ (12 m). (Fig. 15) Horizontal termi-
nation must also meet the criteria shown in Figures 12
& 13.
• Approved vent systems must terminate above and
including the heavy line in Figure 15.
• Two 45° elbows may be substituted for each single
90° elbow.
Start by attaching the first vent pipe section to the collar
on top of the fireplace. In order to attach the first pipe
section, it may be necessary to remove the top shield.
Remove four (4) screws securing top shield, install first
pipe section and replace top shield.
• With a rise between 2’ - 4’, one (1) 90° or two (2) 45°
elbows may be used.
Vertical Termination
Install the pipe as shown in Figure 14. When you get a
good lock, you will hear the pipe clearly snap together.
Once sections are snap-locked in place, it is extremely
difficult to get them apart. Make sure the pipe is firmly
snapped and locked together as each pipe section is
mounted. When using 45° or 90° elbows, it is accept-
able to use three (3) screws (not supplied) at the joint
between the vertical SK8 pipe and the elbow to ensure
no separation.
A vertical vent system must terminate no less than 12’
(3.66 m) and no more than 40’ (12 m) above the appli-
ance flue collar. A 2’ (610 mm) vertical section must be
installed before any offset. A maximum of 20’ (6.1 m)
horizontal and three (3) 90° elbows may be installed
with a minimum of 12’ (3.66 m) vertical section above
the flue collar of the unit. Refer to Page 21, Figure 26
for more information.
When installing elbows, follow the same procedure.
The joints of inner and outer elbow must be taped with
UL approved high temperature metal adhesive tape for
proper sealing. Be sure to always attach straps on up-
per elbow to a structural framing member.
A vertically terminated vent system must also conform
to the following criteria:
• No more than three (3) 90° elbows may be used.
• Two (2) 45° elbows may be substituted for one (1)
90° elbow. No more than six (6) elbows may be
used.
For vertical installations, continue installing the pipe as
required until pipe is installed up through the ceiling. At
this point, you must install a firestop spacer.
• Vent must rise a minimum of 2’ (610 mm) before
offset is used.
• Termination height must conform to roof clearance
as specified in Figure 33.

Applications
Use of Restrictor Plate
for Vertical Venting Applications
The primary purpose for the vent restrictor is to regain
flame height under certain venting conditions as
outlined below.
NOTE: The joints of the inner pipe (flue pipe) must be
taped with 550°F or higher temperature metal adhesive
tape that meets the requirements of F.A.R. 25.853(a)
High temperature sealant milpack or stove cement
of 550°F or higher could be used instead. The joints
of The outer pipe (fresh air pipe) must be taped with
315°F or higher temperature metal adhesive tape or the
use of high temperature milpack or stove cement would
be applicable. When using the unitized 30°, 45° or 90°
elbows, apply 1/4” bead of high temperature, 550°F or
higher, sealant (milpack or stove cement) to the joint of
the inner pipe (flue pipe) and the straight section as it is
impossible to be taped. The outer pipe must be taped
with 315°F high temperature metal adhesive tape for
proper sealing.

Glass Frame Assembly Removal
Restrictor Plate Installation
1. Turn the fireplace OFF (including the pilot).
Refer to Pages 17, 18 & 21 for your venting configura-
tion and combination of restrictor plate requirement and
fresh air restrictor plate adjustment.
2. If the unit has been operating allow time for the
components to cool.
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unfasten two (2) screws
located at the top of the glass frame. (Fig. 34)
Restrictor Plate Installation
Using the two (2) screws provided along with the restic-
tor plate shipped with the logset, fasten the restrictor
plate to the firebox top through the front of the unit. (Fig.
35)
4. Tilt the glass frame at the top away from the unit.
Lift it carefully off the bottom door track and set on
padded surface.
Glass Cleaning
Fresh Air Restrictor Plate Adjustment
1. Remove the glass.
It is necessary to periodically clean the glass. During
start-up, condensation, which is normal, forms on the
inside of the glass. This condensation causes lint,
dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass
surface.
2. Remove the logs, andirons and fettle.
3. Remove one side refractory (right or left) and re-
move the rear upper and lower refractory in reverse
order of installation. (Refer to “Ceramic Refractory
Installation” section.)
Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on
the glass. It is therefore recommended the glass be
cleaned two or three times with a non-ammonia based
household cleaner and warm water (gas fireplace glass
cleaner is recommended) within the first few weeks of
operation.
4. Remove the rear log bracket by removing three (3)
screws. On some models you may be able to loosen
the screws and slide bracket to the left and out. (Fig.
36)
5. Adjust the fresh air restrictor plate setting. (Fig. 37)
Simultaneously install the plate and the log bracket
using the three (3) screws loosened or removed ear-
lier. The adjustment is made by matching the proper
setting on the plate with the three (3) holes on the
After the initial cleaning process the glass should be
cleaned two or three times during each operating
season depending on the environment in the house.

Troubleshooting
American Flame Gas Control System
If erratic system behavior is observed that cannot be resolved by the methods outlined below, ensure that there is
not a transmitter with batteries installed that may be interfering. If a transmitter is packed with batteries installed, its
buttons may be depressed sending a constant signal which can interfere with the transmission of desired signals. A
transmitter with new batteries can have a range of over 100’ (30.4 m).
• Ensure the REMOTE/OFF switch on the side of the module is set to REMOTE.
Module will not learn trans-
mitter
• Make sure the batteries in both the transmitter and receiver are installed in the
proper direction and are not drained. Individual battery voltage should be no less
than 1.4V for AA and AAA batteries, 2.8V for button cells, and 9,0V for 12V batter-
ies.
• Verify the transmitter indicates a signal is being sent. With thermostat transmit-
ters, the LCD display should indicate ON or OFF depending on which button is
being pressed. The LED indicator should illuminate on wall transmitters and on/off
hand-held transmitters. Buttons should be pressed and held for 1 to 2 seconds to
ensure a complete signal is sent.
• Make sure the transmitter is within the 20’ (6 m) operational range of the receiver.
• Ensure the 4-pin lead-set is securely connected from the battery pack to the
control module’s AUX connection. If the A/C power adapter is used, make sure the
leads from the adapter are securely connected to the POWER terminals on the
control module.
• Press and hold the LEARN button on the module for approximately 10 seconds
to clear the memory (you should hear a series of beeps from the receiver). Then
press and release the learn button (you should hear a single beep from the
receiver), immediately press either the ON or OFF button on the transmitter (you
should hear a series of beeps indicating the transmitter code has been learned).
• Verify the gas supply is turned on.
Pilot will not light/stay lit
• Verify the receiver is receiving the signal from the transmitter by listening for a
beep from the receiver when ON is pressed on the transmitter. If you do not hear
a beep, ensure the module has learned the transmitter (see above).
• Ensure the orange lead from the pilot assembly igniter is securely connected to
the terminal labeled “I” and the white lead from the flame rectification sensor is
securely connected to the terminal labeled “S” on the control module.
• Make sure the orange and white leads from the module are securely connected to
the terminals labeled “PILOT” on the valve body.
• Ensure the black GROUND wire is securely connected to an appropriate metal
portion of the valve or pilot assembly. A proper ground is essential to spark
igniter operation.
• Make certain the pilot flame is in contact with the flame rectification sensor on the
pilot assembly. This valve is equipped with a pilot flame adjustment screw. If the
pilot flame is too small it will not contact the flame rectification sensor and will not
complete the safety circuit.
Pilot flame is always on/ will
not extinguish
• Ensure the CONTINUOUS PILOT switch on the control module is set to OFF.
• Check the handheld transmitter display for the word “PILOT” on the LCD screen. If
this is displayed, press and hold the CONTINUOUS PILOT button on the hand-
held transmitter for approximately 10 seconds to turn off continuous pilot mode.

Troubleshooting American Flame Gas Control System (continued)
• Verify the gas supply is turned on.
Main flame will not light
• Ensure the pilot flame will ignite. If not, see pilot flame troubleshooting above.
• Make sure the green and white leads from the module are securely connected to
the terminals labeled “MAIN: on the valve body.
• Make certain the pilot flame is in contact with the flame rectification sensor on the
pilot assembly. This valve is equipped with a pilot flame adjustment screw. If the
pilot flame is too small it will not contact the flame rectification sensor and will not
complete the safety circuit.
• Ensure the pilot flame is properly located to ignite the main flame.
Flame height adjustment will
not work/works backwards
• Ensure the black and red leads from the battery pack or the AF4000 110H/L
module are securely connected to the red and black leads from the motor drive
located on the valve body (red to red and black to black).
• Make sure the Pulse/Continuous button on the Power Module is set to Continuous
mode. If flame does not continuously change (increase or decrease in size) while
holding down the ON H/L button, the power module mode must be changed. Hold
down the Pulse/Continuous button on the Power Module for 10 to 15 seconds to
change mode from pulse to continuous. Re-try flame adjustment.
• Check functionality with all transmitters to determine if there is an issue with the
main control system or an individual transmitter. If the issue is with an individual
transmitter, make sure the batteries in both the transmitter and receiver are
installed in the proper direction and are not drained. Individual battery voltage
should be no less than 1.4V for AA and AAA batteries, 2.8V for button cells, and
9.0V for 12V batteries.
• Ensure the transmitter was not recently stored in a different environment (air-con-
ditioned, heated) from that in which the transmitter is being tested. It may take up
to 3 hours for the temperature inside a packaged transmitter, and several minutes
for an unpackaged transmitter, to equalize with the room temperature.
Room temperature dis-
played on handheld trans-
mitter is not correct.
(When using thermostatic
transmitters only)
Unit will not respond in
THERMO mode.
(When using thermostatic
transmitters only)
• Ensure the thermostatic transmitter is within the 20’ operational range.
• Make sure an ON or OFF command was not last sent from another transmitter.
These commands will override the thermal commands from the handheld trans-
mitter. To return the system to THERMO mode, press either ON or OFF on the
thermostatic transmitter, then press the MODE button to put the system in THER-
MO mode. Press and hold the SET button to change the set temperature.
• Verify the set temperature on the thermostatic remote is at least 2 degrees above
or below the room temperature. The system will not react to temperatures within 2
degrees of the set temperature.
