Determine a location for the single-gang junction box that contains the battery pack and learn switch. It
must be located within 12’ of the fireplace. Mount the junction box.

3.

Insert the battery box wires through the junction box, leaving approximately 8” of slack so the battery packmay be removed and the batteries replaced. Use a staple or other means to secure the wiring to theframing – this prevents the wires from slipping out of the junction box in the event the wires become
disconnected from the battery pack (see Figure 11). NOTE: The wiring is low-voltage (6V) and does not
require a strain relief. Connect the learn switch and battery pack wires (see Figure 12).

4.

Place batteries inside the battery pack and place it inside the junction box. Attach the remote holder to thejunction box with the included screws.

INSTALLATION WARNING – Remote Synchronization

Vent Requirements••••

The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, andnever be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Eachdirect vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system.
In addition to the requirements listed here, follow the requirements provided with the vent.
A firestop is required whenever the vent penetrates a floor or ceiling (or passes throughhorizontal framing members). A thimble is required whenever the vent passes through a wall (orhorizontal framing members).
Venting installation instructions may be found at www.duravent.com. Keep the vent
instructions, along with this manual, with the appliance for future reference.

Altitude Considerations•

This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet. In this testing we have foundthat the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.

•

Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a safety hazard.
Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.

Steps for Finalizing the Installation
WARNING: Prior to removing the glass, shut off gas to theappliance (or remove the batteries from the battery box and shutoff electricity to the fireplace). This prevents any chance ofaccidental burner ignition when accessing the firebox.

1. Remove the glass (see page 37).
NOTE: If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs (see page 45
for details)..
2. We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas tobe detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.
3. Install the firebacks (see page 38) and logs (see page 39).
4. Turn on the gas to the fireplace. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints.
5. Replace the glass. Start the pilot.
6. Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again (the gas control valve and connections arelocated on the exterior of the fireplace on the left side.

7. Check the air shutter following the directions below.

Air Shutter Adjustment
Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes (make sure the logs and glass are in place). The flames should
be yellow with no sooting. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame.

Correct

Not Enough Air

Flames should be blue at thebase, yellow-orange on the top.

If the flames are too tall or sooty on theends, open the air shutter.

Too Much Air
If the flames are all blue andshort, close the air shutter.

How to Adjust the Air Shutter
Both the front and rear burner air shutters are accessed by removing a cover plate (see the illustration
below). After adjusting the air shutter, replace the burner, logs, and glass and verify the flame quality.

Finalizing the Installation (for qualified installers only)

Ember Placement
Place the embers along the firebox floor and burner to help conceal the burner. Make sure none of
the embers are directly over the burner holes. See the photo below (the logs were removed tobetter show ember placement).
NOTE: The embers may be placed over the air slots near the burner, but do not place too much as
to impede proper airflow.

Note how the embers do notcover any burner holes. Placethe embers around the burner
to create a realistic effect.

Rock Wool Placement
The included rock wool is placed on top of the burner to enhance the glow from the burner.
The rock wool works best when it is applied in a very thin, porous layer. The best method
for applying the rock wool is to brush it on to the burner. Compress a clump of rockwool
between your thumb and forefinger. Use a stiff brush to apply a thin layer of rockwool fibers
onto the burner. Do not use the entire bag of rockwool. Use only a small amount and save theremainder. Over-use of rockwool will diminish the glow and may cause sooting or other adverse
conditions.
