WARNING

Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Personal Injury Risk
Failure to position the parts in accordance with the diagrams provided with the log packages or failure to use only parts approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.

Appliance Preparation

Note: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance with local building codes, if any. If not, follow ANSI 223.1. Installation should be done by a qualified installer approved and/or licensed as required by the locality. (In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.)

A. Gas Supply Connection
A 3/8 in. flared fitting has been installed on the gas valve inlet at the factory. Ensure fittings are of the appropriate size and type on the gas line connection. If the tubing has to be cut to length be sure to use the proper cutting and flaring tool. Also, be careful not to crimp the tubing while bending. If the tubing becomes crimped, do not use for installation.

WARNING

Gas Leak Risk
Support control when attaching pipe to prevent bending gas line.

WARNING

Fire Risk Explosion Risk Personal Injury Risk
An explosion could occur if a connection is made directly to an unregulated propane (LP) tank.

Note: An individual manual shutoff valve (not supplied) is required when installing this appliance. The manual shutoff valve must be located in an easily accessible area, no more than 6 feet from the appliance.

WARNING

Fire Risk Explosion Risk Verify inlet pressures.

• High pressure may cause overfire condition.
• Low pressure may cause explosion. Install regulator upstream of valve if line pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.

C. Gas Pressure
Proper input pressures are required for optimum appliance performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to be made following NFPA51.

Gas Leak Test: Make sure the gas connections are tight. Turn on the gas and coat each joint with a non-corrosive gas leak check solution. Air bubbles will form indicating any leaks. DO NOT USE A FLAME OR ANY TYPE OF IGNITION SOURCE TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. All leaks must be corrected before proceeding with installation.

WARNING

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS Fire Risk Explosion Risk Asphyxiation Risk

• Check all fittings and connections.
• Do not use open flame.
• After the gas line installation is complete, all connections must be tightened and checked for leaks with a commercially available, non-corrosive leak check solution. Be sure to rinse off all leak check solution following testing. Fittings and connections may have loosened during shipping and handling.

Installation Instructions

A. Install the Stainless Burner Assembly
The burner assembly is shipped ready for right-hand gas connection. The air shutter is set at the factory at 1/8” for NG gas.

• Remove the existing cap or gas jet assembly from the gas stub in your fireplace. Clean the threads using a wire brush or steel wool. Apply Teflon tape or joint compound to the steel fitting and attach the provided brass adapter to the stub.
• Place the burner assembly in the fireplace. The burner should be centered both front to back and side to side.
• Bend the provided gas connector to facilitate its installation between the burner and the gas stub.
• Attach one end of the gas connector to the brass elbow or safety pilot fitting. Attach the other end to the brass

B. Place Lava Rock

• Place the desired amount of lava rock on the floor of the fireplace.

C. Install the Logs

• Install the logs using the installation instructions beginning on page 8-13.
• Light the burner as outlined in the operating section.
• Spread additional lava rock around the outside of the burner on the floor of the fireplace. DO NOT cover any part of the burner assembly

D. Adjust the Pilot Flame
The pilot flame should be a soft blue color and should surround the last 1/2 in. of the thermocouple tip. The pilot adjustment screw is located on pilot valve beside control knob. Refer to Figure 4.3. If pilot flame must be adjusted, use a standard slotted screwdriver to turn screw clockwise to reduce flame or counterclockwise to increase flame.

E. Important Safeguards

• Other Fuels
  • Although your Hearth Kit is very realistic in appearance, it is not a real woodburning fire and must not be used for burning any fuel other than natural or propane gas.
  • To avoid irreparable damage to the appliance and/or personal injury, wood, matches, paper, garbage or any other material must not be placed or thrown on top of the logs.
• Appliance Safety
  • To avoid personal injury, do not touch hot surfaces when the appliance is operating.
  • Always ensure that the fireplace screen is closed when the appliance is operating.
  • Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is being used near children.
• Do not remove any of the attached metal plates, which contain important safety and operating information.
• Keep the appliance area clear and free of all combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• A qualified service technician must perform installation and repair. The appliance should be inspected and cleaned annually by a qualified service technician. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint, dust, pet hair, etc. It is imperative that the control compartments, burners and air passageways are unobstructed during operation.
  • Review proper placement of logs and lava rock.
  • Check the wiring.
  • Ensure there are no gas leaks.
  • Ensure the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed (front grilles and vent caps).

A. This appliance has a pilot that must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS Do not try to light any appliance. Do not touch any electrical switch: do not use any phone in your building. Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow gas supplier’s instructions. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control handle. Never use tools. If the handle will not push in or turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in fire or explosion.
D. Do no use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any part of the gas control that has been under water.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. STOP! Read the safety information listed above.
2. Turn gas control handle clockwise to the “OFF” position.
3. Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP!. Follow “B” in the safety information above. If you do not smell gas go on to next step.
4. Locate pilot (mounted on the right side of the top burner pan).
5. Turn control handle counterclockwise to the “PILOT” position.
6. Place a lit match at the pilot burner and simultaneously push in on the control handle. This should ignite the pilot.
7. Once the pilot lights, continue to depress the control handle for 1 minute.
8. After 1 minute slowly release control handle and it will pop back out. Pilot should remain lit. If it goes out, repeat steps 1 through 7. If the handle does not pop out when released, stop immediately and call your service technician or gas supplier. If the pilot will not stay lit after serveral tries, turn the gas control handle to the “OFF” position and call your service technician or gas supplier.
9. Turn gas control handle counterclockwise to the “ON” position.
