and at other openings.  
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient  
than ever. New materials, increased insulation  
and new construction methods help reduce  
heat loss in homes. Home owners weather  
strip and caulk around windows and doors  
to keep the cold air out and the warm air in.  
During heating months, home owners want  
their homes as airtight as possible.  
If your home meets all of the three criteria  
above, you must provide additional fresh air.  
See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8.  
If your home does not meet all of the three  
criteria above, proceed to Determining Fresh-  
Air Flow for Heater Location.  
Confined and Unconfined Space  
While it is good to make your home energy  
efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh  
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning ap-  
pliances need fresh air for proper combustion  
and ventilation.  
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA  
54 defines a confined space as a space whose  
volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/  
hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating  
of all appliances installed in that space and an  
unconfined space as a space whose volume  
is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hr  
(4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of  
all appliances installed in that space. Rooms  
communicating directly with the space in which  
the appliances are installed*, through openings  
not furnished with doors, are considered a part  
of the unconfined space.  
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers and  
fuelburningappliancesdrawairfromthehouse  
to operate. You must provide adequate fresh  
air for these appliances. This will insure proper  
venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.  
PROVIDING ADEQUATE

The following are excerpts from National Fuel  
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for  
Combustion and Ventilation.

there are doorless passageways or ventilation  
grills between them.

3. Confined Space  
Use this work sheet to determine if you have  
a confined or unconfined space.  
Space: Includes the room in which you will install  
fireplace plus any adjoining rooms with door-  
less passageways or ventilation grills between  
the rooms.  
The information on pages 6 through 8 will help  
you classify your space and provide adequate  
ventilation.  
Unusually Tight Construction  
The air that leaks around doors and windows  
may provide enough fresh air for combustion  
and ventilation. However, in buildings of un-  
usually tight construction, you must provide  
additional fresh air.  
1. Determine the volume of the space (length  
x width x height).

adjoining unconfined space, you must provide  
two permanent openings: one within 12" of the  
ceiling and one within 12" of the floor on the  
wall connecting the two spaces (see options  
1 and 2, Figure 2). You can also remove door  
into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 2).

If your heater is a manually-controlled model,  
you may use this heater as a vented product.  
There are three reasons for operating your  
heater in the vented mode.  
INSTALLING HEATER BASE  
ASSEMBLY  
1. The fireplace does not meet the clearance  
to combustibles requirements for vent-  
free operation.  
CAUTION:Donotremovethe  
dataplatesattachedtotheheater  
base assembly. The data plates  
contain important warranty and  
safety information.  
2. State or local codes do not permit vent-  
free operation.  
3. You prefer vented operation.  
If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply to you,  
you must permanently open chimney flue  
damper. You must install the damper clamp  
accessory (to order, see Accessories, page  
31). This will insure vented operation (see Fig-  
ure 10). The damper clamp will keep damper  
open. Installation instructions are included  
with clamp accessory.  
WARNING:You must secure  
this heater to fireplace floor. If  
not, heater will move when you  
adjust controls. Moving heater  
may cause a gas leak.  
See chart for minimum permanent flue open-  
ing you must provide. Attach damper clamp  
so the minimum permanent flue opening will  
be maintained at all times.  
WARNING: If installing in a  
sunken fireplace, special care  
is needed. You must raise the  
fireplace floor to allow access  
to heater control panel. This  
will insure adequate air flow  
and guard against sooting and  
controls being damaged. Raise

supply. This heater requires an  
externalregulator(notsupplied).  
Install the external regulator be-  
tween the heater and propane/  
LP supply.  
WARNING: Never connect  
natural gas fireplace to private  
(non-utility) gas wells. This  
gas is commonly known as  
wellhead gas.  
Installation must include an equipment shutoff  
valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPTtap. Locate  
NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up.  
NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see  
Figure 15, page 15).  
IMPORTANT: Install equipment valve in an  
accessible location. The equipment shutoff  
valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas  
to the appliance.  
Installation Items Needed  
Before installing heater, make sure you have  
the items listed below.  
Check your building codes for any special  
requirements for locating equipment shutoff  
valve to fireplaces.  
• external regulator (supplied by installer)  
• piping (check local codes)  
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)  
• equipment shutoff valve *  
• test gauge connection *  
• sediment trap  
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 clogged heater valves.  
• tee joint  
WARNING: Use pipe joint  
sealant that is resistant to liquid  
petroleum (LP) gas.  
• pipe wrench  
* A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff  
valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable al-  
ternative to test gauge connection. Purchase  
the optional CSA design-certified equipment  
shutoff valve from your dealer. See Acces-  
sories, page 31.  
We recommend that you install a sediment trap  
in supply line as shown in Figure 15, page 15.  
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 contami-  
nants. This keeps them from going into heater  
controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is  
installed wrong, heater may not run properly.  
For propane/LP units, the installer must  
supply an external regulator. The external  
regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure.  
You must reduce incoming gas pressure to  
between 11" and 14" of water. If you do not re-  
duce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator  
damage could occur. Install external regulator  
with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure  
14. Pointing the vent down protects it from  
freezing rain or sleet.

screen is closed before run-  
ning heater.  
A. This appliance has a pilot which must  
be lighted by hand. When lighting  
the pilot, follow these instructions  
exactly.  
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around  
the appliance area for gas. Be sure to  
smell next to the floor because some  
gas is heavier than air and will settle  
on the floor.  
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS  
• Do not try to light any appliance.  
• Do not touch any electric switch; do  
not use any phone in your building.  
• Immediately call your gas supplier  
from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the  
gas supplier’s instructions.  
NOTICE:Duringinitialoperation  
of new heater, burning logs will  
give off a paper-burning smell.  
Orange flame will also be pres-  
ent. Open damper or window to  
vent smell. This will only last a  
few hours.  
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier,  
call the fire department.  
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn  
the gas control knob. Never use tools.  
If the knob will not push in or turn by  
hand, don’t try to repair it, call a quali-  
fied service technician or gas supplier.  
Force or attempted repair may result in  
a fire or explosion.  
Note: Home owners generally prefer to oper-  
ate their heater with the chimney damper  
closed. This will put all the heat into the room.  
However, there may be times you will desire  
the full flames of the HI heat setting but will  
find the heat output excessive. You can open  
the chimney damper (if you have one) fully or  
partially to release some of the heat.  
D. Do not use this appliance if any part  
has been under water. Immediately call  
a qualified service technician to inspect  
the appliance and to replace any part of  
the control system and any gas control  
which has been under water.  
WARNING: Damper handle  
will be hot if heater has been  
running.  
1. STOP! Read the safety information in  
column 1.  
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully  
open.  
3. Press in and turn control knob clockwise  
to the OFF position.  
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.  
Then smell for gas, including near the  
floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow “B”  
in the safety information, column 1. If you  
don’t smell gas, go to the next step.

The pilot is attached to the burner. If  
needed, keep pressing ignitor button until  
pilot lights.  
The variable control valve can be set to any  
heat setting and flame height desired, by sim-  
ply turning the control knob until that setting  
is attained. Even the lowest setting provides  
realistic, dancing yellow flames. Selecting  
higher settings produces greater heat output.  
This results in increased heating comfort.  
Note: If pilot does not stay lit, contact a  
qualified service person or gas supplier  
for repairs. Until repairs are made, light

INSTRUCTIONS  
READ BEFORE LIGHTING  
WARNING  
WARNING: If you do not fol-  
low these instructions exactly,  
a fire or explosion may result  
causing property damage, per-  
sonal injury or loss of life.  
• If fireplace has glass doors,  
never operate this heater with  
glass doors closed. If you op-  
erateheaterwithdoorsclosed,  
heat buildup inside fireplace  
willcauseglasstoburst.Make  
suretherearenoobstructions  
across openings of fireplace.  
• You must operate this heater  
withareplacescreeninplace.  
Make sure fireplace screen is  
closed before running heater.  
A. This appliance has a pilot which must  
be lighted by hand. When lighting  
the pilot, follow these instructions  
exactly.  
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around  
the appliance area for gas. Be sure to  
smell next to the floor because some  
gas is heavier than air and will settle  
on the floor.  
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS  
NOTICE:Duringinitialoperation  
of new heater, burning logs will  
give off a paper-burning smell.  
Orange flame will also be pres-  
ent. Open damper or window to  
vent smell. This will only last a  
few hours.  
• Do not try to light any appliance.  
• Do not touch any electric switch; do  
not use any phone in your building.  
• Immediately call your gas supplier  
from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the  
gas supplier’s instructions.  
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier,  
call the fire department.  
Note: Home owners generally prefer to oper-  
ate their heater with the chimney damper  
closed. This will put all the heat into the room.  
However, there may be times you will desire  
the full flames of the HI heat setting but will  
find the heat output excessive. You can open  
the chimney damper (if you have one) fully or  
partially to release some of the heat.  
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn  
the gas control knob. Never use tools.  
If the knob will not push in or turn by  
hand, don’t try to repair it, call a quali-  
fied service technician or gas supplier.  
Force or attempted repair may result in  
a fire or explosion.  
D. Do not use this appliance if any part  
has been under water. Immediately  
call a qualified service technician to  
inspect the appliance and to replace  
any part of the control system and  
any gas control which has been under  
water.  
WARNING: Damper handle  
will be hot if heater has been  
running.  
1. STOP! Read the safety information, col-  
umn 1.  
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully  
open.  
3. Turn control knob clockwise  
to the  
OFF position.  
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.

CONTROL OPERATION  
Note: If pilot does not stay lit, contact a  
qualified service person or gas supplier  
for repairs. Until repairs are made, light  
pilot with match. To light pilot with match,  
see Manual Lighting Procedure.  
The thermostat control knob can be set to any  
comfort level between HI and LO. The ther-  
mostat will gradually modulate the heat output  
and flame height from higher to lower settings  
or pilot, in order to maintain the comfort level  
you select. The ideal comfort setting will vary  
by household depending upon the amount of  
space to be heated, the output of the central  
heating system, etc.  
7. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 sec-  
onds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds,  
release control knob.  
Note: If pilot goes out, repeat steps 3  
through 7. This heater has a safety inter-  
lock system. Wait one (1) minute for sys-  
tem to reset before lighting pilot again.  
Note: Selecting the HI setting with the control  
knob will cause the burners to remain fully on,  
without modulating down in most cases.

INSPECTING bURNERS  
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame • turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to  
patterns often.  
Appliance, page 20 [manually-controlled  
models] or page 22 [thermostat-controlled  
models])  
PILOT FLAME PATTERN  
Figure 33 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.  
Figure 34 shows an incorrect pilot flame pat-  
tern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching  
the thermocouple. This will cause the thermo-  
couple to cool. When the thermocouple cools,  
the heater will shut down.  
• see Troubleshooting, page 25  
Note: The pilot flame on natural gas units will  
have a slight curve, but flame should be blue  
and have no yellow or orange color.  
BURNER PRIMARY AIR HOLES  
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown  
in Figure 34  
Pilot Burner  
Air is drawn into the burner through the holes  
in the fitting at the entrance to the burner.  
These holes may become blocked with dust,  
lint or pet hair. Periodically inspect these holes  
for any blockage and clean as necessary.  
Blocked air holes will create soot.  
MAIN BURNER  
Thermocouple  
Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with  
the heater running. All slotted burner flame  
holes should be open with yellow flame pres-  
ent. All round burner flame holes should be  
open with a small blue flame present. Some  
burner flame holes may become blocked by  
debris or rust, with no flame present. If so,  
turn off heater and let cool. Remove blockage.  
Blocked burner flame holes will create soot.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
BURNER INjECTOR HOLDER AND  
PILOT AIR INLET HOLE  
WARNING: Turn off heater  
and let cool before cleaning.  
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper  
amount of air to mix with the gas. This pro-  
vides a clean burning flame. Keep these  
holes clear of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair.  
Clean these air inlet holes prior to each  
heating season. Blocked air holes will create  
soot. We recommend that you clean the unit  
every three months during operation and  
have heater inspected yearly by a qualified  
service person.  
CAUTION: You must keep  
control areas, burner and circu-  
latingairpassagewaysofheater  
clean. Inspect these areas of  
heater before each use. Have  
heater inspected yearly by a  
qualifiedserviceperson. Heater  
may need more frequent clean-  
ing due to excessive lint from  
carpeting, beddingmaterial, pet  
hair, etc.  
We also recommend that you keep the burner  
tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust  
and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend  
using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI.  
Your local computer store, hardware store or  
home center may carry compressed air in a  
can. If using compressed air in a can, please  
follow the directions on the can. If you don’t  
follow directions on the can, you could dam-  
age the pilot assembly.  
WARNING: Failure to keep  
the primary air opening(s) of  
theburner(s)cleanmayresultin  
sooting and property damage.

LOGS  
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to  
Installing Logs, page 16, to properly replace  
logs.  
Clean pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the  
pilot flame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot  
assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole  
about 2" from where the pilot flame comes out  
of the pilot assembly (see Figure 36). With the  
unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet  
hole. You may blow through a drinking straw  
if compressed air is not available.  
• Replace log(s) if broken or chipped (dime-  
sized or larger).  
MAIN BURNER  
Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with  
the heater running. All slotted burner flame  
holes should be open with yellow flame pres-  
ent. All round burner flame holes should be  
open with a small blue flame present. Some  
burner flame holes may become blocked by  
debris or rust, with no flame present. If so,  
turn off heater and let cool. Remove blockage.  
Blocked burner flame holes will create soot.
