Do not connect 110-120 VAC to the gas control valve or wiring system of this fireplace. The switch
must be installed by a qualified installer.
This fireplace may be installed with an optional wall switch or thermostat. The thermostat (or on/off
switch) wire should be passed through the grommet on either side of the fireplace near the gas inlet (seeitem “a” below). The thermostat (or on/off switch) wires will interrupt the burner circuit (see item “b”
below).
•

If you wish to bypass the switch, connect the thermostat (on/off switch) wires directly to the green andwhite wires (see “c” below).

•

If you wish keep the switch (series) – re-align the wires as shown in item “d” below. NOTE: The
on/off switch must be in the “ON” position for the thermostat (or on/off switch) to operate.

Vent Requirements•

The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct ventgas 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 wall, floor, or ceiling (passes through framing
members). Use the included firestop. It incorporates a 3" clearance above, 1" clearance below andto the sides of the vent.

Vent Clearances•

The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire. Do not fill
air spaces with insulation.

Altitude Considerations•

This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet. In this testing we have found thatthe 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.

4.

Remove the glass (see page 41).
NOTE:
If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs.
We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas to be detectedonce it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.
Make sure the accent light bulb is in place.
NOTE: .Take care to not touch the bulb with your fingers (use a cloth or paper towel).

Install the four AA batteries (included in the owner’s pack) into the battery holder (make sure they contact theterminals - see the illustration below). The AA batteries act as a power backup in case the household (AC) power
goes out (they also power the comfort control). Install the 9v battery (included in the owner’s pack) into control
panel light assembly (see the illustration below). The battery holder is held in place with Velcro and may beremoved for easier access.

Right Log Installation
The right log has two holes that accept the pins on the burner and rear log. When placed correctly there
will be a minimal gap between the two logs. Make sure the bottom is placed so no burner ports areblocked and there is a gap to the back wall.

VIEW

NOTE: Make sure the right log
does not rest against the backof the firebox (or liner). If it
does, it will block light from theaccent light, creating a large
shadow. You may need to readjust the logs to insure a ¾”
gap from the back.

Before installing the fan controller, make sure the power switch is on ( “-“ SYMBOL - see Figure25). Slide the fan controller into place (see Figure 26). Tuck the power cord behind the controller
so it rests below and to the side of the firebox – make sure the power cord or wiring do notcontact the firebox or blower.
HINT: We have found that if you “Z-BEND” the power cord and tuck it behind the power inlet, it
will then fit into place. Make sure the power cord is not directly over the front of the controller –the receiver must fit in this location.
