must be upstream from log set (see Figure 4).  
INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP  
Secure the damper stop clamp provided to the leading edge of the  
damper as shown in Figure 3. If for any reason this clamp doesn't  
work on your fireplace, another suitable clamp or permanent stop  
must be installed, or the damper blade must be cut or removed.  
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible  
location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting  
off the gas to the appliance.  
Damper Clamp  
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will  
prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe  
could result in a clogged burner injector.  
Damper

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant  
to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.  
We recommend that you install a sediment trap in the supply line as  
shown in Figure 4. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for  
cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater.  
Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A  
sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them  
from going into log set controls. If sediment trap is not installed or  
is installed wrong, log set may not run properly.

3. Inspect all connections for bubbles, raw gas odor, or flame  
from any area other than the burner (leaks). If leaks are de-  
tected, shut off the gas valve immediately. Tighten, or reas-  
semble the loose connection(s) using pipe joint compound until  
burner system is leak free.  
REMOTE CONTROL OPTIONS  
GHRC  
4. When the burner is tested and leak free, observe the individual  
tongues of flame on the burner. Note: The burner design in-  
cludes more ports on the outside of the bar. Make sure that all  
ports are clear and producing flame evenly across the burner.  
If any ports appear blocked, clear them by removing the burner  
manifold and reaming the ports with a modified paper clip or  
other suitable tool.  
If you are using the GHRC remote control option, you must first  
connect the leads of the receiver to the terminal block on the gas  
control (see Figure 13).  
1. Connect the leads to the male fast-on terminals marked TH  
and TPTH.  
2. Install a 9V battery (refer to the instructions included with the  
GHRC).

page 10.  
Shutting Off Burner Only (pilot stays lit)  
You may shut off the burner and keep the pilot lit by doing one  
of the following:  
1. After lighting, let pilot flame burn for about one minute.  
Turn control knob to ON position. Slide the selector switch  
to the REMOTE position. Note: The burner may light if  
hand-held remote ON button was on when selector switch  
was last turned off. You can now turn the burner on and  
off with the hand-held remote control unit.  
1. Slightly push in and turn control knob clockwise  
to the PILOT position.  
2. If Using Optional Hand-Held Remote or Wall Switch:  
Set switch to OFF position.  
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the selector switch in the RE-  
MOTE position when the pilot is not lit. This will drain the  
battery.  
CURING LOGS  
During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in period, you may detect  
an odor from the appliance as the various paints and com-  
pounds used in the manufacturing of this log set cure. This is a  
normal and temporary situation that is not cause for alarm.  
However,youmaywanttoprovideextraventilationtotheroom  
during this time.  
IMPORTANT: Be sure to press the ON/OFF buttons on the  
hand-held remote control unit for up to 3 seconds to assure  
proper operation.  
GHRC Operation:  
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the burner on and off.  
When turning burner off, the pilot will remain lit.  
To ensure proper curing of the logs:  
• Ignite a 2" flame and maintain it for 1 hour.  
• Burn the logs in consecutive 1 hour periods raising the flame  
an additional 2" to full flame height for a total of three hours.  
GWMS2 WALL MOUNTED SWITCH  
(OPTIONAL)  
This wall switch works just like the conventional light switch.  
Flip the switch up for on and down for off.  
Note: Make sure that this switch is not in a position to be  
mistaken for a light switch. This may result in the log set being  
inadvertently turned on without the proper precautions being  
taken. See installation instructions on page 8 of this manual.

INSPECTING BURNERS  
CLEANING AND  
MAINTENANCE  
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.  
• Keep the area around the log set clean and clear of debris.  
• Occasionally, you may use a soft bristle brush to clean logs.  
PILOT ASSEMBLY  
The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper flame height.  
Alterations may have occurred during shipping and handling. The  
pilot is located on the back right hand side of the burner.  
• Periodically inspect the air mixer and burner tube for foreign  
matter blocking the air inlet and flame holes.  
• Once every year a qualified agency or certified chimney sweep  
should examine and clean the venting system of the fireplace.  
Thethermocoupleshouldbefullyenvelopedintheflame.Theflame  
should not be lifting off of the thermocouple element.  
If your pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:  
REPLACEMENT PARTS  
• Turn the adjustment screw marked pilot clockwise to decrease  
or counterclockwise to increase the flame to proper size (see  
Figure 20). Do not remove the adjustment screw.  
Note: Use only original replacement parts. This will protect your  
warranty coverage for parts replaced under warranty.

Burner flames will be steady; not lifting or floating. Flames should  
go up through the middle of logset. Flames should not "spill" to the  
edges of the pan or sides of the logset.  
Figure 21 shows a typical flame pattern. If burner flame pattern differs  
from that described:  
• turn appliance off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 11)

This warranty does not apply to parts that are not in original condition because of normal wear and tear, or parts that fail or become damaged as a
