The fireplace may be installed directly on a
combustible floor or raised on a platform of an
appropriate height. Do not place fireplace on
carpeting, vinyl or other soft floor coverings. It
may, however, be placed on flat wood, ply-
wood, particle board or other hard surfaces,
extending the full depth and width of the appli-
ance. Be sure fireplace rests on a solid continu-
ous floor or platform with appropriate framing
for support and so that no cold air can enter the
room from under the fireplace.

IMPORTANT: HOLD GAS VALVE SECURELY
TO PREVENT MOVEMENT WHEN CONNECT-
ING TO INLET GAS LINE
See Figure 11 for 5500 series units and
Figure 12 for 6500 series. Then install the
remainder of the Type B vent to the outside.
3. Note the floor construction, i.e. 2 x 6’s, 2 x
8’s or 2 x 10’s, single or double joists, type and
thickness of floor boards.
Minimum overall height of the vent system and
appliance must be 12' (3.7 m). See Figure 13.
WARNING: CONNECTING DIRECTLY TO
AN UNREGULATED PROPANE (L.P.G.)
TANK MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
Maximum overall height of the vent system and
appliance should not exceed 40 feet (12.19 m).
4. Use this information and consult your local
building code to determine if you need addi-
tional support.
Step 3. Position the Appliance - Slide the
fireplace into prepared framing.
Install the B-vent system in accordance with
the vent manufacturer's instructions.
If you plan to raise the fireplace and hearth
extension, build the platform assembly then
position fireplace and hearth extension on top.
Secure the platform to the floor to prevent
possible shifting.
(Note: Appliance may be positioned first and
then the framing constructed around it.)

Step 2. Route Gas Supply Line - Route gas
line(Figure 5 )using techniques and materials
prescribed by local and/or national codes. It is
recommended that a gas line of ¹⁄₂" or greater
diameter be used to allow full gas volume to
the fireplace. Undue pressure loss will occur if
the pipe is too small.

Fireplace may be anchored to floor. Bend down
four (4) anchor tabs located at the base of the
fireplace and secure to the floor by nailing with
8d nails (Figure 10 ).
CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE CANNOT BE
VENTED HORIZONTALLY.
Note: Refer to the vent manufacturers installa-
tion instructions for variations of venting tech-
niques. If common venting of several units is
contemplated, it should be discussed with an
architect and the local Building Department.
The gas line should extend a total of 2 in.
(51 mm) maximum into the appliance con-
trol compartment.
Anchor
Tab
When rigid pipe is used, an ANSI approved
manual shut-off valve and union must be in-
stalled upstream of the fireplace.
Ensure that a sediment trap is installed in the
existing gas line, if not, install a sediment trap
upstreamtopreventmoistureandcontaminants
from passing through trap to the appliance con-
trols and burners. Failure to do so could prevent
the appliance from operating reliably.

cedures.
FINISHING REQUIREMENTS
Wall Details
WARNING: AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A
QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
Appliance Facing Flush with Finished Wall -
Complete finished interior wall. To install the
appliance facing flush with the finished wall,
position framework to accommodate the thick-
ness of the finished wall (Figure 35 and 37 ).
Flame Appearance and Sooting
Proper flame appearance is a matter of taste.
Generally most people prefer the warm glow of
a yellow to orange flame. Appliances operated
with air shutter openings that are too large, or
with long vertical vent runs, will exhibit flames
that are blue and transparent. These weak, blue
and transparent flames are termed anemic.
Adjustment
To adjust the flame, position the air shutter to
the nominal setting (Figure 33 ). Allow the
burner to operate for at least 30 minutes.
Observe the flame continuously. If it appears
weak or sooty as previously described, adjust
the air shutter open or closed until desired
effect is achieved.
Surround Materials Relative to Appliance
Facing-
Surround materials (noncombustible) can
be placed around the appliance facing to
provide a flush surface between the sur-
round materials and the appliance front fac-
ing. Do not cover the louvers of the GHC or
the bottom control compartment access on
the GRD. (Figures 36 and 38 ).
If the air shutter opening is too small sooting
may develop. Sooting is indicated by black
puffs developing at the tips of very long orange
flames. Sootingresultsinblackdepositsform-
ing on the logs, appliance inside surfaces and
on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent termi-
nation. Sooting is caused by incomplete com-
bustion in the flames and a lack of combustion
air entering the air shutter opening.
Orifice
Air Shutter
Note: Combustible wall finish materials and/or
surround materials must not be allowed to
encroach the area defined by the appliance
front face (black sheet metal). Never allow
combustible materials to be positioned in front
of or overlapping the appliance front face.
Adjusting
Set Screw
To achieve a warm yellow to orange flame with
an orange body that does not soot, the shutter
opening must be adjusted between these two
extremes.
Hearth Extensions
Burner Tube
No smoke or soot should be present. Reposi-
tion the log set if the flames impinge on any of
them.
A hearth extension is not required with this
appliance. Any hearth extension used is for
appearance only and does not have to con-
form to standard hearth extension installa-
tion requirements.
