BEFORE FULLY INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
• Turn off the gas supply to the fireplace or firebox.
• Seal any fresh air vents and/or ash clean-out doors located on
the floor or wall of the fireplace. If left unsealed, drafting may
cause pilot outage or sooting. Use a heat resistant sealant. Do
not seal the chimney flue damper.
Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the chimney
flue and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose
paint by a qualified chimney cleaner.
You must secure the gas log heater to the fireplace floor.
If not, the entire unit may move when you adjust the
controls. Movement of unit may cause shifting of the gas
logs which leads to sooting and improper burning. Grate
movement could cause a gas leak.
Special care is required if you are installing the unit into
a sunken fireplace. You must raise the fireplace floor to
allow access to gas log controls. This will insure adequate
air flow and guard against sooting. Raise the fireplace
floor using noncombustible materials.
Metal shipping plate covering burner marked REMOVE
must be removed from top of burner and discarded.
Burner will not operate if plate is left in place.
Save for future use – when servicing fireplace.
Assembly Procedure: (Figure 10)
1.Center the gas log unit in the fireplace or firebox. Make certain
the front feet of the grate sit inside the front edge of the
fireplace or firebox.
2.An anchor hole is provided in the two bottom side members of
the grate frame. After centering the grate correctly, mark the
hole positions on the fireplace/firebox floor. Drill two (2) 5/
32" diameter holes approximately 1-1/2" deep for masonry
screws or 1/8" hole for sheet metal screws.
3.Anchor the grate to the fireplace/firebox floor using the screws
provided. Refer to Figure10.
Proper installation of the grate is essential to prevent any
movement of the gas logs and controls during operation.
