off when plumbing gas line to fireplace or performing service.  
Consult all codes. All gas piping must be installed to comply with local codes, or in the absence of local codes,  
with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.  
The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during  
any pressure testing of that system at test pressure in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).  
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the equipment shutoff valve  
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5  
kPa).  
Use new black iron or steel pipe. Internally tinned copper or copper tubing can be used per National Fuel Gas  
Code, section 2.6.3, providing gas meets sulfide limits, and where permitted by local codes.  
An ANSI approved manual shutoff valve must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection  
to the fireplace  
A sediment trap may be installed upstream of the fireplace to prevent moisture and contaminants from passing  
through to the fireplace control and burner. Failure to do so could prevent appliance from operating reliably.  
On some local codes, the gas line must be connected to a gas shut-off valve recessed flush into the wall or floor  
outside the fireplace. The valve should be controlled by a removable valve key for safety. In this case, remove  
factory shut-off valve from the flex line and connect line direct to stub.  
WARNING  
Support the shut-off valve when attaching 1/2” gas line. Use a wrench to hold shut-off valve stationary.  
Do not twist the flex line when tightening the 1/2” gas line.  
WARNING  
Connecting directly to an unregulated propane/L.P.G. tank can cause an explosion. An external regulator  
must be used on all propane/LPG appliances to reduce the supply tank pressure to 13” w.c. (maximum).  
WARNING  
Do not connect directly to natural gas 1/2- psi or 2-psi systems. Always make sure the natural gas pressure is  
regulated to 10.5 w.c. (maximum) before operating the unit.  
Check gas type. The gas supply must be the same as stated on the appliance’s rating decal. If the gas supply is  
different from the fireplace, STOP! Do not install the appliance. Contact your dealer immediately.  
To ease installation, a 30” flex line with manual shut-off valve has been installed on this fireplace. Install 1/2”  
gas line onto shut-off valve.  
Locate the gas line access hole in the outer casing of the fireplace. Remove the screw on the gas line cover  
plate. Open the fireplace door, insert the gas supply line through the knock out hole on the gas line cover plate,  
and connect it to the shut-off valve.  
After completing gas line connection, purge air from gas line and test all gas joints from the gas meter to the  
fireplace for leaks. Use a soap and water solution or a gas sniffer.  
To check gas pressure at valve, turn captured screw counter clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then place tubing to  
pressure gauge over test point. Refer to Figure 12: Gas Pressure Check at Gas Valve. After taking pressure  
reading, be sure and turn captured screw clockwise firmly to re-seal. Do not over torque. Check for gas leaks.

though flameproof, fire retardant, treated, or plastered.  
Non-Combustible Materials - Materials which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are those consisting  
entirely of steel, iron brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass, marble, or combination thereof, or have a UL Fire  
rating of Zero (0).  
High Temperature Sealant Material - Sealant that will withstand high temperature; General Electric  
RTV103 or equivalent.  
Finishing the fireplace flush with a wall:  
When finishing the face of the fireplace, combustible material may be brought up to the side or top edge of the  
fireplace, but must never overlap the black metal face. The black metal face may be covered with non-combustible  
material only. After applying the finishing material, a non-combustible sealant, 1/8” minimum, should be used to  
close off any gaps at the top and sides between the fireplace and the finishing to prevent cold air leaks. Refer to  
Figure 5: Finishing Material section in this manual for allowable locations for combustible materials.  
Rock Wool Placement:  
Rock wool should be evenly covering the burner from front to back. The rock wool should be separated into chunks  
about the size of a nickel. The bag supplied has an excess of rock wool. The remaining may be used as filler over  
time.  
Lava Rock Placement:  
Sprinkle a thin layer of lava rock on the floor of the inner chamber. DO NOT pile up in any area. It should be  
placed in a single layer only around but not on any portion of the burner.  
WARNING  
Do not sprinkle the lava rock on top of the burner. This may cause potential sooting, glass breakage and/or a  
fire hazard

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Before Lighting the Fireplace:  
Read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this homeowner manual.  
Before lighting, check the fireplace for possible gas leaks.  
Before lighting, check for possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent termination or the front louver.  
Any component that is found to be faulty must be replaced with an approved component. Tampering with the  
fireplace components is dangerous and voids all warranties.  
A small amount of air may be present in the gas line. It will take a few minutes for the lines to purge. Once the  
purging is complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.  
During the initial purging, never allow the gas valve control knob to remain depressed in the pilot position  
without pushing the ignitor button once every second.  
Subsequent lighting of the fireplace will not require this purging of air from the gas lines, unless the gas valve  
has been shut-off for a long period.  
Lighting the Fireplace:  
You may notice the following:  
A slight odor.  
During manufacturing, fabricating, and shipping, various components of this fireplace are treated with  
certain oils, film, or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful but may produce annoying smoke  
and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the fireplace. Operate the appliance 2 to 3  
hours at the highest setting to burn off all the oils, films, etc.  
Fogging on Bi-Fold Door glass.  
For the first few minutes, after each lighting, vapor may condense and fog the glass. This condensation will  
disappear in a few minutes.  
Noise from the fireplace.  
This is due to metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound produced  
by a furnace or heating duct.  
Flame appearance.  
It will take about 15 to 30 minutes for the flames to turn yellow and some portions of the logs to glow.

WARNING  
Turn off gas before servicing fireplace. It is recommended that a qualified service technician perform these  
check-ups at the beginning of each heating season.  
The appliance area must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable  
vapors and liquids. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.  
Burner, Pilot and Control Compartment:  
Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least  
twice a year. Make sure the pilot air intake is free of obstructions at all time.  
Thermopile  
Standing-Pilot Flame Only :  
The flames from the pilot should be visually checked as soon  
as the heater is installed and periodically during normal  
operation. The pilot flame must always be present when  
the fireplace is in operation. Refer to Figure 23: Pilot Flame  
Appearance. The pilot flame has three distinct flames, one  
engulfing the thermopile, one engulfing the thermocouple  
(which is not connected to the valve), and the other reaching  
to the main burner.  
Figure 23: Pilot Flame Appearance  
Burner Flame:  
The flames from the burner should be visually checked as soon as the heater is installed and periodically during  
normal operation. In normal operation, at full rate, and after approximately 15-30 minutes, the flame appearance in  
Figure 24: Burner Flame Appearance should be observed.  
NOTE  
The type of installation, vent system configuration, and wind effects may cause the flame patterns to vary.
