INSTALLATION (GAS SUPPLY)
ONLY PERSONS LICENSED TO WORK WITH GAS PIPING MAY MAKE THE NECESSARY GAS CONNECTION TO
THIS APPLIANCE. YOU ARE NOW READY TO HOOK UP THE GAS SUPPLY. BE SURE GAS PLUMBING
INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL CODES ARE CAREFULLY FOLLOWED. USE APPROVED
FLEXIBLE GAS CONNECTIONS OR RIGID PIPING, DEPENDING ON PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL CODES, TO
ATTACH BURNER TO GAS SUPPLY. BE SURE TO USE PROPER SIZE GAS SUPPLY LINE. CAREFULLY CHECKALL CONNECTIONS WITH A SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION FOR GAS LEAKS. EACH INSTALLATION MUSTCONFORM TO ALL LOCAL, PROVINCIAL AND NATIONAL CODES. REFER TO THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE,LOCAL ZONING AND CODE AUTHORITIES FOR DETAILS ON INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS.
EXISTING GAS SUPPLY
Before interrupting the existing gas supply it is recommended that the following be checked.
Shut down all gas appliances and carry out a pressure test to insure there are no existing leaks on the system.
Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double check that the appliance you have purchased isdesigned for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are located on the certification label and also
on the appliance’s gas valve.
♦ Check the gas pressure to insure you will be able to supply the minimum inlet pressure for the appliance (seepage 12).
♦ Check your pipe sizing to insure sufficient volume will be supplied to the appliance.
♦♦

GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION
Provide adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections.
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the gas fireplace. The line must be
properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. Up stream of the appliance supply connection, thefitter shall provide an easily accessible manual shut-off valve.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of thegas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). Failure to do so will damage theappliance’s gas valve. Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Check for proper gas supply pressure by loosening the set-screw on inlet pressure tap (marked IN) on the gas
valve with a small flat tip or Phillips screw driver and placing a test gauge on the tap.
The minimum permissible gas supply pressure is 5.0 in. w.c. (1.24 kPa) for natural gas and 12.1 in. w.c. (3.00 kPa)for propane. Maximum gas supply pressure should never exceed 14.0 in. w.c. (3.48 kPa) or 1/2 psi. for bothnatural gas and propane.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE TAP SET-SCREW AFTER CHECKING THE PRESSURE. CHECKALL GAS CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS.

INSTALLATIONPIPING DETAIL♦♦♦♦

Gas Connection:
The gas connection supplied is a 1/2” flare connection. The supply pipe can be either rigid or listed flexible connection
and/or copper tubing if allowed by state, provincial and local codes.
In the USA follow local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
In Canada consult local authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installation codes.
Provide a union downstream of the appliance shut-off valve to allow disconnection of the burner assembly for servicing.

High Altitude:♦ In the USA the model 2205 is approved for altitudes up to 2000 feet using the factory installed burner orifice. At
elevations above 2000 feet, U.S. codes require a decrease in the input rating by replacing the burner orifice. The input
should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level (see appendix ‘A’). Check local gas utility for orifice size
identification.
♦ In Canada the model 2205 is approved for altitudes up to 4,500 feet (1375 meters). For altitudes above 4,500 feet
(1375 meters) consult the local codes for correct de-rating.
Note: The difference in altitude rating is a requirement of certification standards.

IMPORTANT - WHITE MINERAL DEPOSITSOne of the byproducts of the combustion process in a gas appliance, is a mineral which can show up
as a white film on the ceramic glass of the viewing door. The composition of the deposit varies
widely from various locations and also from time to time in the same location. You may have theproblem for a time and then not see it for many months when it will reappear in your area. It seems
this is associated with the varying sulfur content of the gas. We have discussed this problem withceramic glass manufacturers and they cannot give us a definitive answer to this problem. Dealers
have tried various cleaning products with varying results. The following recommendations will notguarantee results in your particular case.
1. Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice the buildup (white film). If the film is left for alonger period of time, build up will bake on. It is then much harder, if not impossible, to remove.
2. NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic glass. Any abrasion of the surface has theimmediate effect of lessening the strength of the glass. An emulsion type cleaner isrecommended.
3. Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth.
Most paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to ceramic glass and should be avoided.
4. Our dealers have had good results from the products listed below. We can not however
guarantee the results of these products.
a) BRASSO
c) COOK TOP CLEAN CREME by ELCOb) POLISH PLUS by KEL KEMd) WHITE OFF by RUTLAND

NOTE: This is a problem beyond Blaze King’s control and is
not covered under warranty.

NOTICE: COLD WEATHER OPERATION

When using any gas appliance (LPG or NAT Gas) water is a byproduct of the combustion process. Under normal
conditions this moisture is expelled through the vent into the atmosphere and does not cause any harm. In extreme cold
weather however the vapor may condense and freeze on any exposed surface it comes into contact with. This can cause
a problem by restricting or blocking the vent, particularly with direct vent wall terminations as the exhaust is only a few
inches away from the outside wall surface. What happens to the moisture after it leaves the vent cannot be controlled by
the manufacturer. To extend the vent further out from the wall can sometimes but not always be an advantage. Extending
the vent out from the wall can present other design problems such as ice falling from the eaves above. It is thehomeowners responsibility to ensure that there is not an excessive build-up of ice on the termination.
CAUTION: WHEN OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE DURING COLD WEATHER YOU MUST FREQUENTLY CHECKTHE EXHAUST CAP FOR EXCESSIVE ICE BUILD UP.
If the appliance begins to operate abnormally—Poor flame pattern, shutting down etc, this could be an indicator of ice buildup.
