The Logsets have been designed and tested to operate safely
when installed according to the installation instructions con-
tained in this manual. Read all instructions before starting the
installation.
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, all gas fitting
and installation of this heater shall only be done by a
licensed gas fitter or licensed plumber.
• This appliance is for supplemental heating only, It should
not be used as the primary heat source for a dwelling.
• The vent-free gas logset must be installed only in a fire-
place constructed of noncombustible material.
• The logset should be inspected before use and at least
annually thereafter. More frequent cleaning may be necessary
because of excessive lint from carpeting or bedding material.
• In the United States, the installation and operation must
conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, latest
edition, CSA-B149 Installation Code, and with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70 (latest edition).
• The gas logset and its individual shutoff valve must be dis-
connected from the gas supply piping system during any pres-
sure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2
p.s.i.g. (3.5 kPa) The gas logset must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 p.s.i.g. (3.5
kPa)
• Do not, under any circumstances, burn solid fuel (wood,
paper, coal) in the fireplace where you have installed your log
-
set. Do not use it for cooking. Put nothing on top of the logs.
• The logset must be compatible with its fuel. Natural gas
requires different hardware than propane. Never attempt to
use natural gas with a propane logset or vice versa.
• For a propane burning logset, the supply tank must include
a high to low gas pressure regulator. The tank
must be out-
doors. Do not, under any circumstances, locate supply tanks
inside any structure.
• The fireplace must include a screen made of chain mesh
or a similar material. You must keep the screen closed at all
times during the operation of the logset; it will protect you in
the event of an explosion.
• WARNING: If the fireplace contains glass doors, they must
remain open at all times during the operation of the logset,
allowing combustion air to circulate.
• In order to avoid any possible gas leaks, apply pipe joint
compound to all non-flared threaded connections involved
in this installation. For propane, the joint compound must be
resistant to the corrosive action of propane.
• To check for leaks, always use a soapy water solution or a
sniffer.
Never test by using an open flame.
• The area around the gas logset must be free of all combus-
tible materials, especially gasoline or other highly flammable,
vapor producing liquids.
• Due to high temperatures, locate this logset away from both
high traffic areas and furniture and draperies.
• Children and adults alike should be aware of the high
surface temperatures; to avoid the risk of burns or ignition of
clothing they should stay away.
• Do not touch any part of the logset other than the controls
while it is operating or immediately after you turn it off.
• Supervise young children and pets carefully when they are
in the room where the logset is operating.
• Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or
near the logset.
• Make sure that any safety screen or guard, removed during
servicing, has been replaced before you use the logset.
• Do not, under any circumstances, install the logset in any
bedroom, bathroom, other small, enclosed room, mobile
home or recreational vehicle.
• Do not install the logset in a drafty area or use it with any
aftermarket blower system that may cause drafting and con-
sequently alter the flame pattern.
• It is imperative that you keep clear all burner areas, control
compartments and passageways for circulating air.
• Do not move the logset in any way that might dislodge the
logs from their fixed positions. If you bump the logset check to
see if you have dislodged anything.
• Vent-free logsets require additional fresh air. You may sup-
ply additional air with any combination of: opening windows
or doors; or by operating a central furnace blower or exhaust
fan.
• Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the
combustion chamber and adequate accessibility clearance
for servicing and proper operation. NEVER obstruct the front
opening of the fireplace.
W A R N I N G
This appliance is for installation in a masonry
fireplace with a working flue, a U.L.-127 listed
manufactured solid-fuel burning fireplace or in a
CFM Corporation vent free fireplace.
N O T I C E
This is an unvented gas-fired heater. It uses air (oxy-
gen) from the room in which it is installed. Provisions
for adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
provided. Refer to pages 5 and 6.
This appliance operates as an unvented domestice room
heater when fitted to a masonry or factory-bilt woodburn-
ing fireplace with the flue damper closed, or as a decorative
appliance when the flue damper is fully open. It must not be
used for any other purpose and must be fitted in a masonry or
factory-built fireplace or ventless firebox enclosure.
Avoid propane tank dropping below 25% full. This will help
keep soot from occurring.
In order to assure a safe and effective instal-
lation, only a qualified service person who is
familiar with the building codes and installation
techniques appropriate to your area may install
and service this appliance.
