INSTALLATION
Step 1. Frame fireplace enclosures as illustrated in Figures 1, 2, 3 or. 4.
Figure 1
|
Figure 2
“NOTE: DIAGRAMS AND ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE
---|---
Figure 3
|
Figure 4
Step 2. Route a 1/2” NPT black iron gas line 4 13/16″ above the floor surface (if fireplace will be resting on the floor) and 4″ behind the face of the rough framing (Figure 5).
Figure 5
Note: Gas piping should be routed to the front side of framing in line with the gas controls (Refer to appliance specifications and to Figures 40, 41 and 42 on pages 10 and 11). The back side of framing for both the right hand open GCR and the right hand (or reverse) open GPF. This gas line should extend at least 2″ into the control compartment at the time connection is to be made (Figure 6 ).
Figure 6
Step 3. Position the appliance into prepared framing, nailing with 6d nails through the nailing flange holes (Figure 7).
Figure 7
Step 4. Install the remote wall swttch in a convenient location and route the
18 gage millivolt wire through the gas line access hole into the control
compartment. At least 15 ” of wire is required in the control compartment.
Step 5. Connect etther a listed8″ Type B vent system to the appliance flue
collar, using a listed draft hood connector to start the vent or connect
Superior’s TFS or BC8 chimney system to the appliance collar. Install
remainder of vent or chimney to the outside. Minimum height of the vent or
chimney and appliance should be 12 feet.
Note: Refer to the vent manufacturers installation instructions for variations of Type 8 venting tech inquest. If Superior’s TFB or 8GB chimney system is used, the following procedures should be followed.
INSTALLING THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Step 1. Before installing the complete vent or chimney system, it is
important that the flue damper operates correctly after the vent or chimney
has been Installed. When installing a Type B Venting system, it JS suggested
that a draft hood connector (DHC) be the first vent component attached to the
appliance flue collar. It may be necessary to trim or crimp the DI-IC skirt in
order to properly adapt to the collar without interfering with the flue
damper. After the first vent or chimney component has been attached to the
fique dollar, check the flue damper for proper operation and that there is no
interference.
Refer to Rgures 8 and 9 for the appropriate flue damper settings. The main
burner will not ignite if the flue damper has not been set in the full open
position and the glass doors have not been closed.
|
---|---
Step 2. Using standard construction framing tech inquest, construct opening
for chimney route up through the ceiling(s) and roof or through an outside
chase.
Framing must maintain adequate minimum airspace clearance at all times.
CAUTION: ALLOW MINIMUM 1″ (or 2″r (SEE *NOTE) CHIMNEY AIR SPACE TO
COMBUSTIBLE FRAMING MEMBERS THROUGHOUT VERTICAL OR OFFSET CHIMNEY
INSTALLATION.
A minimum (See “Note) air space must be re served for all materials extending
for any con tenuous length surrounding the chimney.
• Note: 1″ for TFB chimney system and 2″ for BCB chimney system.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS AND ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE
Reference Figures 11 and 12 and charts “Framing Dimensions for Ceiling and
Roof’, which specify minimum ceiling and roof dimensions.

• Perpendicular to roof ridge
In new construction, to determine chimney center line, use plumb line from
roof or ceiling above fire- place to center of flue collar on fireplace.
For remodeling, plumb to center of flue collar from ceiling above, drive nail
through ceiling from below to mark position, then mark and cut to passage from
above ceiling (around nail) (Figure 13). Then plumb from ceiling or roof level
directly above hole which has just been completed.
Step 3. Position appropriate firestop spacer at ceiling and nail temporarily
with two (2) 8d nails. Use flat firestop spacer, Model 8FS for TF8 system and
Model BC8-FS for the BC8 system, if chimney pen- etrates ceiling vertically.
If chimney penetrates ceiling at30° angle (off set chimney), use 30° firestop
spacer, Model 8FS30 for TF8 and Model BC8-FS30 for BC8 system. Use one nail on
opposite sides to hold firestop spacer in position. Nail permanently, using at
least two (2) more 8d nails, after chimney sections have been assembled
through the firestop spacer and after any necessary adjustments have been
made. Firestop spacer must be secured by at least four (4) 8d nails when
completely installed.
Note: If there is a room above ceiling level, firestop spacer must be
installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If an atticis above ceiling
level, fre stop spacer
must be installed on top side of ceiling joist (Figures 14 and 15).
Figure 14
| Figure 15
---|---
Step 4. Note: Chimney sections are constructed with a unique locking tab
design, which ensures an immediate, tight assembly between sections. Plan your
chimney requirements carefully before assembly as chimney is difficult to
disassemble after installation. If disassembled, the tabs might become
damaged. Be
certain tabs are properly formed to ensure locking tabs engage properly.
The TF8 and BC8 chimney systems are two piece chimneys, which snap together
from the fireplace up. Start with the inner flue section. With the hemmed end
down, snap lock it in to the matching collar on top of the fireplace. At all
subsequent joints, the upper flue section fits into the preceding flue
section. Each piece
snaps together by means of locking tabs (9 locking tabs per joint). Check each
piece by pulling up slightly from the top to ensure proper engagement before
installing succeeding sections. If the flue has been installed correctly, it
will not separate when you test it. Also, the inner flue joint where each
sections joined should be tight and flat without gaps (Figure 16).
Outer pipe section installs in just the opposite way; the hemmed end goes UP and each new section goes OVER the outside of the previous section installed (Figure 17).
Note: Assemble one component of chimney at time (inner section first,
then outer section last) before proceeding with the next complete section.
Continue to assemble the chimney up through framed opening. Assemble just
enough to penetrate the roof flashing openings (Figure 18). Always maintain 1°
(or
2″) (See Note) minimum air space to combustible materials and always check
each chimney joint (inner and outer) to ensure proper engagement. Check
vertical alignment of chimney so that it projects from the roof in true
vertical position.
Superior chimney sections should not be screwed together and it is not
required for additional reinforcement.
Step 5. The height of vertical chimney pipe supported only by the
fireplace must not exceed 30’. Chimney heights above 30′ must be supported by
a Model 8-S4 or Model BC8-S4 unitized stabilizer installed at the midpoint.
Note: The Model 8-S4 and Model BC8-S4 add 2 1/2″ net effective height to
the total chimney system.
** Note: 1″ for TF8 chimney system and 2″ for BC8 chimney system.
Install the Model 8-S4 or BC8-S4 stabilizer by fitting inner section down into respective section of proceeding flue pipe and locking outer stabilizer section into place over the outer chimney pipe. Position for proper clearance through framed opening and nail straps securely (under tension in “shear’) into place on framing. Use 8d nails. Attach successive lengths of chimney pipe directly to stabilizer using same techniques as described in Step 4.
Roof Pitch | TFB | BC8 |
---|---|---|
Flat to 6/12 | 8-F6 | BC8-F6 |
6/12 to 12/12 | 8-F12 | BC8-F12 |
Next, slide roof flashing over extended chimney section that previously has been installed above the roof opening in Step 4. Slide flashing all the way down until the flashing base rests flat on the roof. Again, check the vertical position of the chimney and the 1° (or 2″)* (See Note) minimum air space to combustibles.
Step 7. Secure fleshing nailing along the perimeter into roof using 8d nails.
If shingled roof, slide upper end and sides of roof flashing under shingles
(trim if necessary), seal the top and both sides of the flashing to the roof
with roof caulking. Cover nail heads with roof caulking (Figure 20).
Note:** 1° for TF8 chimney system and 2″ for BC8 chimney system.
Step 8. The standard Superior roof flashing assemblies include a storm collar. Slide storm collar over outer chimney, align with top surface of flashing, inserter in slot, pull tight and bend tab back over slot. Seal storm collar to outer chimney with roof caulking or mastic around entire circumference of pipe. Also add extra roof caulking where storm collar meets flashing and to the tab/slot area to seal completely against water penetration (Figure 21 ). Check all joints very carefully to ensure no water intrusion can take place.
Step 9. Superior locking bands, Models 8LB or BC8-LB, may be required if the
chimney extends too high – above the roof flashing. As a general rule, if the
– chimney extends more than 6’ above the roof flashing, the use of locking
bands is advisable to string then the chimney assembly. Align the locking band
at the chimney joint. Locking bands wrap around pipe joints equally covering
the joints of both pipe sections. Use nut provided and TIGHTEN snugly. Do not
over- tighten as this might damage chimney section (Figure 22 ).
NOTE: DIAGRAMS AND ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE
Note: If chimney extends more than 8′ above roof surface, guy wires are also recommended. Use three (3) guy wires, attach to locking band assembly, extend and secure to roof in a triangular pattern (Figure 23). Guy wires are not supplied by Superior.
Step 10. Using a CTD Round Termination:
-
Hold CTD over top of last chimney section (Figure 24 ).
-
Center inner slip section in inner flue pipe-slip down.
-
Center outer locking section over outer flue pipe.
Push down until locking tabs are firmly engaged. -
Pull up slightly on CTD to ensure locking joint has firmly engaged.

Using a CT1 Chase Termination
Refer to specific installation instructions included with CT1 chase
termination for clearance statements and installation details.
Using a CT2 Chase Termination
Refer to specific installation instructions included with the CT2 chase
termination for clearance statements and installation details.
Using a CTDT Chase Termination
Refer to specific installation instructions included with the CTDT chase
termination for details.
Note: It is recommended that all exterior exposed related metal fireplace
components; succahs terminations, lashings, storm collars and/or fique be
painted with a premium quality, high temperature, rust preventative paint
designed for metal. This is especially important when installations are made
in abnormally adverse or corrosive environments; such as near lakes, oceans or
in areas with consistently high humidity conditions. Consult the paint
manufacturers instructions for proper preparation and application.
Note:** 1″ for TF8 chimney system and 2″ for BC8 chimney system.
TEN FOOT RULE SUMMARY
The minimum chimney height above the roof and/or to adjacent walls and
buildings is specified by all major building codes. If the horizontal distance
from the peak of the roof is less then 10’, the top of the chimney must be at
least 2′ above the peak of the roof.
If the horizontal distance from the chimney edge to the peak of the roof is
more than 10’ a chimney height reference point is established on the roof
surface 10° horizontally from the chimney edge. The top of the chimney must be
at least 2 above this reference point. In all cases, the chimney cannot be
less then 3′ above the roof at the edge of the chimney.
The 2 in 10’ rule is necessary in the interest of safety but does not ensure
smoke-free operation. Trees, buildings, adjoining roof lines, adverse wind
conditions, etc., may require a taller chimney should the fireplace not draft
properly (Figure 27).
MULTIPLE TERMINATIONS
If more than one termination is located in the same chase or within the same
general proximity, we suggest they should be separated in distance at least
24″ horizontally from flue center to flue center and stacked or staggered
vertically at least 18″ apart, from the termination of one smoke exit to the
termination of another smoke exit (Figure 28).
This suggestion is provided in the interest of better operation. If the
terminations are located too close to each other, smoke may migrate from one
flue into the other.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS AND ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE
TF8 AND TF10 CHIMNEY COMPONENT CALCULATIONS
The minimum installed height of the GST, GPF and GCR Series systems is 120”.
To determine the number of chimney sections and chimney components required,
follow these steps:
- Determine total vertical height of the fireplace installation. This dimension fs the distance from the surface the fireplace sets onto the point where smoke exits from the termination.
- Determine the number of chimney components required, except chimney sections. This would in-Clued firestop spacers, stabilizers, roof flashing, etc.
- The effective heights of the components are:
The Appliance = 9393/4″
CTD Termination = 4″
CT1i Termination = 12″ to 18″
CT2 Termination = 15″ to 23″
CTDT Termination = 12° to 18°
S4 Stabilizer* = 2 1/2″
- Required for every 30′ of vertical chimney and/or 10° of offset chimney.

height of all pre-selected components (fireplace and chimney components from
total desired height.)
Reference Vertical Elevation Chart and determine the number of chimney
sections (quantity and length) required,
SPECIAL OFFSET INSTRUCTIONS
To clear any overhead obstructions, you may offset your chimney system using
Superior 30° offset and return elbows. Use two elbows – an offset elbow to
initiate the offset and a return elbow to terminate it.
The offset and return elbows maybe attached together, or a section or sections
of chimney may be used between, but do not exceed 20’ in to tall length
between elbows. if sections of pipe exceed 10’ between elbows, a chimney
stabilizer must be used at the mid point. The stabilizer support straps must
be attached under tension (in shear) to structural framing members above. When
two sets of elbows are used, the maximum combined length of chimney used
between elbows cannot exceed 20’ (Figure 31). Example: If C1 = 10′ then C,
cannot exceed 10°. A 30° offset elbow, angling in any direction, may be the
first component used off the top of the appliance flue collar.
Maximum offset of chimney system is 30°. Two offsets must not be assembled to
form a 60° offset. However, two sets of offset and return elbows may be used
unsingle flue system, provided the total height of the system exceeds 25’.
Return elbow support straps must be securely attached under tension (in shear)
to structural framing members above. Do not substitute a TF8-30 or BC8-30
offset elbow in place of a TF8-E30 or BC8-E30 return elbow.
OFFSET CALCULATIONS
- Use Offset Chart to determine amount of horizontal Offset (A) and height (B) for various chimney section assemblies.
- Use “Height of Flue Only” column in The Vertical Elevation Chart to determine combinations of chimney used above return elbow to achieve desired heights. Reference Components Effective Height Chart in vertical elevation chart section.
- Use Elevation Chart as job estimator only. Add necessary firestop spacers and stabilizers as required. Firestop spacers must be used as shown in Figures 14 and 15 and stabilizers as shown in Figure 19.
Figure 30
TO INSTALL OFFSETS
First, review Chimney Offset Elevation Chart and Figure 29 on page 8 for
reference.
Step 1. Select desired chimney system; TF8 or BC8.
Determine the offset distance where chimney is to pass through the first
ceiling-dimension “A”. To find this point on your ceiling, first determine the
center — point for a vertical chimney following the instructions for vertical
installation.
Measure height to the ceiling from the top of appliance-dimension “B”. Use
Offset Elevation Chart to find dimension “A”, Mark point where you will drive
your nail to show the center point for your offset ceiling cut.
Step 2. Proceed by using the Straight Up Installation Instructions for cutting
and framing ceiling and roof Openings.
Note: See Framing and Dimension Chart for the Sizes of the ceiling and
roof openings. The size of the roof opening varies with the degree of pitch of
the roof.
Figure 31
OFFSET ELBOW ASSEMBLY
Offset elbows install the same as chimney sections.
First, snap the inner section INTO the preceding inner section of flue. Check
connection by pulling up slightly to ensure a tight fit. Next, the outer
sections snap lock OVER the preceding outer section of chimney. Again, check
outer section by pulling up slightly to ensure proper connection is made.
RETURN ELBOW ASSEMBLY
Return elbows install the same way as round terminations and stabilizers:
Step 1. Hold fretum elbow over top of last chimney section.
Step 2. Center inner slip section into inner flue pipe- slip down.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS AND ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE
Figure 32
Step 3. Center outer-locking section over outer chimney pipe. Push down until
locking joint has firmly engaged.
Step 4. Pull up slightly on retum elbow to ensure locking joint has firmly
engaged.
Step 5. Secure support straps to framing members by nailing under tension in
sheer.
Note: Donot apply excessive pressure to any subsequent chimney section
following return elbow assembly when installing. Ensure that each subsequent
chimney section is securely attached by testing as noted above.
TF8 AND BC8-OR15
OFFSET/RETURN ELBOWS
Primarily used when appliance penetrates a 6″ thick wall, Refer to installation instructions packed with TF8-OR15 and BC8-OR15 for proper usage.
CHIMNEY OFFSET 30° THROUGH FLOOR OR CEILING
It may be necessary to assemble the chimney at 30° when passing through the
floor or ceiling area. Use appropriate 30° angled firestop spacer as shown in
Figures 34 and 35. Support the chimney at floor or ceiling penetration with a
stabilizer if distance of chimney below ceiling is 10° or more. Maintain 1″
(or 2″)** (See “Note) minimum air space to combustibles from chimney
sections.
|
---|---
Step 6. Complete finished wall material and trim.
CONTROL MODULE AND GAS LINE HOOK UP
Note: The logs are packaged in their own carton and are shipped with each
appliance model. The control module, burner assembly, bummer grate, pilot
shield, colorization rod and bumer trough assembly are packaged separately in
their own carton and must be ordered separately. Before gas supply piping can
be connected to the gas control valve, the control module must first be
installed in the appliance. If your model is not a GPF-8000, skip to Step 3.
Note:** 1° for TF8 chimney system and 2″ for BC8 chimney system.
GPF-8000 CONVERSION
Special Note: The GPF-8000 has been designed so that the control module
can be installed on either the let or right side. The GPF-8000 model is
shipped from the factory with the provisions to install the control module in
a left open configuration (closed end or right side) (refer to specification
on page 16 for stated orientation). A field conversion can be made to fevers
the control module and operating glass doors. The following steps must be
taken to convert the factory supplied left hand open unit to a right hand open
unit:
Step 1. Switching glass doors: The operable set of glass doors must be
removed from the left side and assembled on the opposite or right side. The
fixed glass panels must be removed from the right side and assembled on the
left side. The top retention clips must first be removed from both doors and
both fixed glass panels before they can be removed from the appliance. After
doors and panels have been switched, replace the retention clips.
Step 2. Switching the door pin/switch bracket: The pin/switch bracket
that is mounted on the right door pane! will have to be removed and remounted
on the left door panel. To remove, remove the two (2) Phillips head screws
from the pin bracket and remount in the same fashion on the left door panel
(Figure 58, page 14). Replace screws that have been removed. Adjust the
bracket so that the switch pin penetrates the slot in the control access door
and contacts the switch lever. Re-tighten switch/pin bracket screws
Note: The GPF-8000 comes with two (2) control access doors. Each access
door is different and is matched to the side that corresponds to the placement
of the control module. If, for any reason the control access doors are mounted
on the wrong side, they can be switched easily,
The GPF-8000 has now been converted from a left sided model to a right sided
model. The continuing steps can now be performed.
Step 3. Remove the control module securing screw from the appliance hearth
flange and set aside. Open the control access door for better viewing when
installing the control module. Lift up and tilt down to open.
Step 4. Remove the control module from the carton and insert the control end
(facing the control access opening) into hearth opening (Figure 36 ). Rotate
control module until level inside opening and slide to rear (Figure 36). Slide
forward until front module flange engages front bracket under hearth and rear
bracket slides over hearth flange. Replace control module screw to secure
control module in place.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS AND ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE
Step 5. 1/2″ Flex Connector Procedure – Attach a 1/2″ flex connector (12″
length, 30″ length if installed on a GCR-8000R or GPF-8000R unit) with a shut
off valve to the 1/2″ gas supply stub, using a wrench and pipe joint compound
(where required). Tighten fitting securely (Figure 37).
Note: Do not damage or kink the flex connector.
Step 6. Carefully bend and shape the flex gas connector so that a connection
can be made to the gas valve. Caution should be used so as not to kink the gas
connection.
Note: Check for gas leaks with soap and water solution. DO NOT USE OPEN
FLAME FOR LEAK TESTING.
Step 7. Rigid Pipe Connection Procedure – Extend previously installed 1/2″ NPT
gas supply pipe to the gas control valve. Figures 38 and 39 illustrates the
sequence of connection. Secure all fittings tightly using a wrench and pipe
joint compound where necessary.
|
---|---
Figure 39
Special Note (If rigid pipe is used to connect
supply to gas valve): To facilitate an easier access to the gas control
compartment in order to connect the gas supply line to the gas control valve
with rigid pipe, the hearth pan may be opened. Alf refractory components must
first be removed. The hearth pan screws must then be removed. The hearth pan
with the gas control module attached can then be tilted up or removed to
reveal the control compartment. Refer to Figures 40, 41 and 42 for details
showing elements of rigid pipe components.

---|---|---
REMOTE MILLIVOLT WALL SWITCH WIRING
Step 8. Attach one wire from the remote millivolt wall switch to the “TH”
terminal on the gas control valve.
Connect the other wire from the remote millivolt wall switch to the red wire (
nut provided on wire ) located on the door switch mounted to the control
access door. Connect the blue wire, hanging in control compartment, from flue
damper switch to empty terminal on door switch (Figure 43).
CAUTION: DONOT WIRE REMOTE WALL SWITCH TO A MAIN POWER SUPPLY. GAS VALVE
WILL BE DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR.
Step 9. insert the venturi pilot shield into the hearth opening as
illustrated in Figure 44. Center the burner grate over the pilot shield and
rest grate on refractory hearth. Long side of grate must be parallel with the
long side of the hearth opening.
Step 10. Attach bumer trough assemblies to the burner assembly with the No.
6-32 x 7/32″ Phillips head screws. Secure bummer troughs with screws from the
underside of bumer (Figure 45). tt is important to orientate the burner
throughs so that the white colorization material faces towards the center of
the burner.
Step 11. Carefully place bumer, with venturi tube, into grate. Make certain
that the venturi tube engages the burner orifice on the control module (Figure
44 ). The venturi tube guide will assist in seating the bummer into the grate
and center the venturi tube over the burner Orifice.

Figure 45
Step 12. Carefully position and center the two lower logs onto the burner. It
makes little difference which way the two lower logs are orientated over the
burner. Position the colorization rod, from the control carton into the two
grooves found in the bumer log connecting bridges (Figure 46 ). Place the
three (3) smaller logs across the two (2) lower logs in the manner
illustrated in Figure 47. The letters in the underside of the smaller logs
must match the letters mon the lower log to assure proper orientation.

Step 13. Follow instructions printed on the door packaging to remove the doors and door panels from the appliance. Re-assemble doors and door panels at this time. The set of door panels (described on pages 16 and 17, items 28 and 29) are not designed to be opened.
FLAME COLORIZATION DEVICES
The bumer assembly is equipped with special flame enhancement strips (burner
trough assemblies) located around the lower burner ports. These devices, along
with the colorization rod, colorize the gas flame and produce the “ember
effect”.
In normal operation, these devices will provide many hours of satisfactory
performance. Over time, the Orange color will diminish in intensity and it
will be necessary to purchase a replacement rod and/or mineral fiber flame
enhancement device. These devices are available at nominal charge from your
local distributor/dealer or directly from Superior.
COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks around your appliance with non-
combustible material and wherever cold air could enter the room. It is
especially important to insulate the outside chase cavity between studs and
under floor on which it rests, if floor is above ground level.
Surround material must be caulked where it meets the black metal facing of the
appliance to avoid air intrusion. Use non-combustible caulking material only
on appliance facing to seal.
Do not place insulation materials in the gas vent or chimney system clearance
spaces.
HIGH ELEVATION DERATING
When installing these appliances above 4,000 feet level, it is recommended that the appliance bumer be debated by changing the existing orifice to a smaller one. Order and install appropriate high altitude orifice kit (Figure 48).
FINISHED WALL DETAILS
It is best to frame your appliance after it is positioned.
Frame with 2 x 4’s or heavier lumber. Frame in accordance with local
prevailing building codes,
Note: The header may rest on the top metal spacers but must not be
notched to fit around them,
To install the appliance facing flush with the finished wall position
framework to accommodate the thickness of the finished wall (Figure 49).
Non-combustible surround materials can be placed around the appliance facing
to provide aflush surface between the surround materials and the fireplace
facing (Figure 50).
|
---|---
A combustible mantel shelf projecting a maximum of 8″ from the wall may be installed a minimum distance of 11° above the appliance opening (Figure 51).
REMOVAL OF CORNER SHIPPING POSTS
Models GPF-8000 and GCR-8000U/R are shipped from the factory with metal
shipping comer posts attached to the open corner(s). Model GPF has two posts
and Model GCR has one post attached. Refer to the following steps for removal
of these posts (if desired):
NOTE: DIAGRAMS AND ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE
Step 1. Remove door clips and lift up on the door(s) closest to the corner.
Carefully tilt the bottom of the door toward you and down to remove.
Step 2. Remove the end panel by removing clips and lifting up and tilting out.
Step 3. Remove the four (4) screws in the shipping post as illustrated in
Figure 52.
Step 4. Reverse steps 1 and 2 to replace the end panel and glass door
panel(s). Replace screws removed from comer shipping posts.
OPERATION
To operate the appliance, refer to the lighting instructions located on the
back of the front control access door.
Your appliance control system is a millivolt type. It consists of a pilot
burner, piezo ignition, a gas control valve and a manual ON/OFF switch. The
wall switch is connected in series with a flue damper safety switch, a high
temperature limit switch and a door switch. The appliance flue damper must be
in the fully open position and the doors must be closed before the bumer will
operate (Figures 8 ,9 and 57).
To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the pilot and main bumer
flame characteristics are steady, not lifting or floating, and be blue in
colar (Figure 53).
Approximately the top 3/8″ at the pilot generafor (thermopile) should be
engulfed in the pilot flame (Figure 54).
The air shutter on the venturi tube has been set at the proper position at the
factory for both natural and propane gas units. The air shutter for natural
and propane gas has been set in a full open position (Figure 55).
Note: It is not necessary to adjust the air shutter.
Important: Any variation at these air shutters may result in an erratic
flame and/or the possibility of sooting, distinguished by a bright yellow
flame. Any adjustments to the air shutter different from that described above
could cause the burner assembly to malfunction and could void the warranty.
OPERATION GUIDELINES AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
-
Upon completing your gas line connection, a small amount of air will be in the lines. When first lighting the appliance, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once purging is complete, the pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated in the instruction manual. Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require such purging.
-
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight odor for an hour or two. This is due to the “curing” of the logs and “Bum-in” of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
-
Keep control compartment, logs, burners and area surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year. Do not vacuum the mineral wool located in the front and ends of the burner assembly.
CAUTION: THE LOGS CAN GET VERY HOT – HANDLE ONLY WHEN LOGS ARE COOL. -
Always turn off gas to pilot before cleaning. Before re-lighting, refer to the lighting instructions,
-
The appliance and venting system should be inspected before use or at least annually by a qualified service person.
-
Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.
-
Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance clear of all obstacles and materials.
WARNING: CHILDREN AND ADULTS SHOULD BE ALERTED TO THE HAZARDS OF HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND SHOULD STAY AWAY TO AVOID BURNS OR CLOTHING IGNITION. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED WHEN THEY AREINTHE SAME ROOMAS THE APPLIANCE.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Tum off gas before servicing appliance. It is recommended that
a qualified serviceman perform these checkups at the beginning of each heating
season.
IN order to properly clean the bumer rand pilot assembly, remove the logs and
expose the burner and pilot assembly.
Cleaning Burner And Pilot
Clean all foreign materials from top of burner and from bottom panel below
burner. Check to make sure that burner orifice is clean.
Visually inspect pilot. Brush or blow away any dust or lint accumulations. If
pilot orifice is plugged, disassembly may be required to remove any foreign
material from orifice or tubing. When appliance is put back in service, check
pilot flame patterns with Figure 54,

shooting guides are provided in this manual. These guides will assist you or
a qualified service person in the diagnosis of problems and the corrective
action to be taken.
*TESTING/REPLACEMENT OF LIMIT AND DAMPER SWITCHES
Note:** To test and/or replace the limit switch and the flue damper switch, the switch assembly must be detached from the appliance. The switch assembly is located in the control opening side of the GST, GCR and GPF(L) Models and on the opposite side for the GPF(R) Model. Remove the two (2) Phillips head screws from under the trim bar. The switch plate assembly can be lowered to test or replace the switches (Figure 56 ). Refer to pages 16 and 17 to identify switches.
ADJUSTING THE DOOR PIN/SWITCH BRACKET
The pin/switch bracket assembly is mounted on the right door assembly for the GST, GPF(L) and GCR (L) models (Figure 57 ). It is mounted on the left door assembly for the GCR (R) and GPF(R) model (Figure 58 ). This bracket has been pre-adjusted at the factory. It can, however, be re-adjusted in the field if necessary,

ACCESSORIES
Optional Combustion Air Kit
When outside combustion air is desired, the CAK-4 model combustion air kit should be used. Refer to the installation instructions packed with the CAK-4 model kit for specific installation information. The outside air kit must be installed before the appliance is framed and enclosed in the finished walls. With the combustion air kit installed, the outside air will flow into the appliance on demand. The heat from the flame will create a negative pressure in the appliance, causing the internal air damper to open and allow outside air to flow. When there is no flame present, the air damper will automatically shut and stop outside air from entering. The GST Models has a provision that enables the installer to switch the outside combustion air damper to the opposite side, in the event that the desired orientation calls for the combustion air source to be located on the reverse end.
Optional Wireless Remote Control Switch
A wireless remote control kit, Model RCK can be used in lieu of the manual
ON/OFF wall switch. The kit consists of a receiver and a hand held
transmitter.
The receiver can be operated either in a manual ON/ OFF mode or in the remote
position. Both the receiver and transmitter operate on 9 volt batteries (not
sup- plied by Superior). Refer to the wireless remote control switch kit
installation instructions (P/N.095002) for specific installation details.

no spark and electrode wire is properly connected, replace the ignitor.
1. Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot and trigger
the red button again. If pilot lights – an improper gas mixture caused the bad
lighting and a longer purge period is recommended. If pilot will not light –
check gap at electrode and pilot – should be 1/8 inch to have a strong spark.
if OK, replace pilot assembly (Figure 54 ).
2. Pilot will not stay lit after carefully following lighting instructions.|
A. Defective pilot generator (thermopile) or remote wall switch wiring.
B. Defective automatic valve operator.| 1. Check pilot flame. It must impinge
on pilot generator (Figure 54 ).
Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement on generator.
2. Be sure wire connections from generator at gas valve terminals are
tight and generator is fully inserted into pilot bracket.
3. One of the wall switch wires may be grounded. Remove wall switch
wires from valve terminals. If pilot now stays lit, trace wall switch wires
for a ground. May be grounded to appliance or gas supply.
4. Check pilot generator with millivolt meter. Take reading at generator
terminals of gas valve. Should read 325 millivolts minimum while holding valve
knob depressed in pilot position and wall switch “OFF”. Replace faulty
generator if reading is below specified minimum.
1. Turn knob to “ON”, place wall switch to “ON” millivolt meter should read
greater than 100 MV. If the reading is OK and the bummer does not come on,
replace the gas valve.
