CODES AND INSTALLATION TECHNIQUES AP
-
PROPRIATE TO YOUR AREA MAY INSTALL AND
SERVICE THIS APPLIANCE.
• In order to avoid any possible gas leaks, apply pipe joint com-
pound 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
after-market blower system that may cause drafting and conse-
quently 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 supply
additional fresh 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 open-
ing of the fireplace.
• Avoid propane tank dropping below 25% full. This will help
prevent soot from occurring.
The Logsets have been designed and tested to operate
safely when installed according to the installation instruc-
tions contained in this manual. Read all instructions
before starting the installation.
• The vent-free gas logset must be installed only in a fireplace
constructed of noncombustible material.
• These logsets are not for exterior use.
• The logset should be inspected before use and at least an-
nually 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 edi
-
tion and with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70 (latest
edition). State or local codes may only allow operation of this
appliance in a vented configuration. Check your state or local
codes. In Canada check local province for proper use or CSA-
B149. Refer to pages 7 and 8 for installation details.
• 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 sys-
tem 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, pa-
per, coal) in the masonry or UL127 factory built fireplace where
you have installed your logset. 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 outdoors.
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 fully open at all times during the operation of the logset,
allowing combustion air to circulate.
Proposition 65 Warning:
Fuels used in gas, wood-
burning or oil fired appliances, and the products of
combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
and other reproductive harm.
