Burner/ Grate Installation

  1. Place the keyhole slots of the burner (Figure 3) over the two screws located on the firebox floor (Figure 2).
  2. Slide the burner back to engage the screws in the small part of the keyhole slot and tighten the screws (Figure 4).-
  3. Remove the access cover to the valve control center from the right side of the firebox (Figure 5)
  4. Attach the pilot and gas supply tubes to the bulkhead fitting and tighten them (Figure 6). Ensure the connections are gas-tight.
  5. Feed the ignition and sensor wires through the bulkhead plate to the interface module. Tuck the ignition and sensor wires below the supply tubes (Figure 7).
  6. Attach the ignition and sensor wires to the Interface module as shown in Figure 8.
  7. Reinstall the valve control center access panel.
    • A panel set must now be installed before the log grate can be installed. See Installation and Operating Instructions manual for details.
  8. Remove the two screws in the bottom of the unit then position the slots of the grate securing brackets over the holes in the floor shield and secure with the two screws (Fig. # 9).
  9. Attach rear deflector to the rear of the grate using the two screws provided (Figure 10).TOWN-COUNTRY-FIREPLACES-TC36D-Country-Home-Burner-Kit-FIG- \(10\)
  • A large bag of ember material is shipped with the fireplace and needs to be installed to ensure optimum performance and flame appearance.
  • Pull apart the material into ember-size pieces (approximately 1” squares) and gently place them into the burner pan. Do not compress, leave it loose for the best performance.
  • Fill the burner pan level with the top of the pan at the rear, and gradually slope forward to the firebox floor at the front, covering both burner tubes.
  • Place the remaining ember material outside of the burner pan as desired to cover up gas lines and brackets.

Note : Ember material placement and amount will affect flame appearance. More ember material results in lower flame height. Add or remove as needed until desired flame effect.

Log Placement
Gas plumbing and vent connections should be completed before proceeding.

  • The logs are fragile and should be handled with care. Unpack and inspect the log set. There should be a total of seven logs.
  • Position the logs as indicated by the following pictures. The three main logs have holes and/or pins. Engage each pin in the corresponding holes. The four smaller logs do not have holes or pins. They rest in position. Locate as per the diagrams 12 through 19.

Note : Improper placement of logs will cause sooting on internal parts and glass. The logs may need to be repositioned slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.

  1. Place Log 1 onto the log grate with the thicker end on the right and engage the holes in the bottom of the log onto the two pins on the log grate.
  2. Place Log 2 onto the lleftside of the log grate with the thicker end down and rest the log onto the long pin on the side of the log grate then engage the hole in the bottom of Log 2 onto the pin in the top left of Log 1.
  3. Place Log 3 on an angle and engage the holes in the bottom of Log 3 onto the pin in the back corner of the log grate and the pin in the middle of Log 1.
  4. Place Log 4 onto the log grate resting on the second finger from the left and the narrow part pointing towards the center of the log grate.
  5. Place Log 5 on the right front panel, around the right leg of the log grate, and with the charred end pointing towards the center of the fireplace.
  6. Place Log 6 on the left front panel with the “Y” end pointing to the left side of the fireplace and the other end just in front of the left leg of the log grate.

Gas Pressure Check

Note : To test the gas pressure, turn off the gas supply before removing the plug from the supply pressure test port or manifold pressure test port.

Verify gas pressures with the fireplace lit and on the highest setting.

  1. Use a 3/16” Hex key to remove the blanking plug from the pressure test port. The plug is located between the right-side lintel and the firebox side (Figure 20).
  2. Thread the extension test fitting into the open test port (Figure 21)
  3. Attach a pressure gauge to the fitting.
  4. When testing is complete remove the extension test fitting and replace the plug. Thread sealant will be required to ensure a gas-tight connection.TOWN-COUNTRY-FIREPLACES-TC36D-Country-Home-Burner-Kit-FIG- \(21\)

Burner Flame Adjustment
The air shutter on the burner tube controls the primary combustion air to the gas burner and is preset at the factory for natural gas fuel. Some adjustments may be necessary to obtain the desired flame and to eliminate carbon deposits. Evaluate flame appearance after the fireplace has reached operating temperature. See Figure 23 for a proper flame pattern. Open the primary air shutter if the logs, glass, and firebox have carbon accumulation and/or the flames are long, dark, and stringy. The shutter may also be opened to enhance the ember material glow and lessen the flame height.

Caution : Proper air shutter setting is a must. The flame should be just orange and “lazy”. It should NEVER be set to create sooting on internal parts and glass.

To Adjust:

  1. Open and remove the window frame and set it aside. See the “Window Frame Removal” section found in the Installation and Operating Instructions manual.
  2. Remove the log set and set it aside.
  3. Remove the air deflector from the log grate.
  4. Loosen the screw in the Primary Air Shutter (Figure 24).
  5. Rotate the shutter to increase or decrease the amount of primary air. Tighten the screw to hold the air shutter once the desired flame appearance has been achieved.
  6. Reassemble in reverse order.
