appliances in your home.
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the out-
side atmosphere have a continuous
water vapor retarder with a rating of one
perm (6x10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less
with openings gasketed or sealed and
b. weather stripping has been added on

c. caulking or sealants are applied to
areas such as joints around window
and door frames, between sole plates
and floors, between wall-ceiling joints,
between wall panels, at penetrations
for plumbing, electrical and gas lines
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
fuel burning appliances draw air from the house
to operate. You must provide adequate fresh
air for these appliances. This will insure proper
venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if
there are doorless passageways or ventilation
grills between them.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three

1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
Determining if You Have a Confined or

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.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture
to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing
heater in rooms without enough ventilation
air may cause mildew to form from too much
moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventila-
tion, page 6.
Example: The face of a mantel, bookshelf,
etc. is made of combustible material and
protrudes 3 /2" from the wall. This com-
bustible material must be 4" from side of
fireplace opening (see Figure 4).

tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge
connection. Purchase the optional equipment
shutoff valve from your dealer. See Acces-
sories, page 30.
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
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
12. Pointing the vent down protects it from
freezing rain or sleet.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas pip-
ing and connections, internal
and external to unit, for leaks
afterinstallingorservicing.Cor-
rect all leaks at once.
We recommend that you install a sediment
trap in supply line as shown in Figure 14.
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.

• You must operate this heater
withafireplacescreeninplace.
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.

INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame • turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
patterns often.
pliance, page 19.
• see Troubleshooting, page 22.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
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.
Figure 26 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 27 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.
BURNER PRIMARY AIR HOLES
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.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 27.
Pilot Burner
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.

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

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 29). 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).

2. With 5/16” hex driver or socket, loosen
the thermostat screw. Carefully slide the
thermostat sensing bulb out of the retain-
ing clamp (see Figure 31).
FOR MASONRY AND FACTORY-
BUILT METAL FIREPLACE
If your log set cycles to pilot, but the room
temperature drops to a lower than ideal
comfort level before the log set comes back
on, you may want to reposition the thermostat
sensing bulb.
Note: Do not remove screw. Make sure
you tighten screw after removing thermo-
stat sensing bulb.
IMPORTANT: Do not force or bend ther-
mostat sensing bulb or capillary.
The thermostat sensing bulb is located on the
gas valve assembly. This location allows the
thermostat to keep the room temperature at
an ideal comfort level for most fireplace appli-
cations. If positioning the thermostat sensing
bulb elsewhere, follow these directions.
3. The thermostat sensing bulb may be
located to the lower right front side of
fireplace. Place bulb in an area that will
be close to room temperature when log
set is operating
Tools needed: 5/16" hex driver or socket
1. Locate the gas valve assembly and ther-
mostat sensing bulb (see Figure 30).
