This log set has been tested and approved to ANSI Z21.11.2 standard for
Unvented Heaters and also complies with ANSI Z21.60 Decorative Vented
Appliances for Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces. State and local codes in some
areas prohibit the use of vent-free heaters. Check your state or local codes.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Qualified Installation Agency
This set should only be installed by a qualified installation agency.
Proper Log Placement
Log placement is critical to proper burner performance. Logs must be correctly
positioned onto the burner. The illustrations in this manual show the proper
position for logs on this set. Owners need to be shown proper log placement
and instructed not to move the logs.
Logs must fit firmly onto the burner when positioned as shown in the
illustrations.
Malformed logs or broken logs must be replaced.
Proper Primary Airflow into the Burner
For proper burner operation and flame appearance, the flow of primary air into
the venturi tube, located on the rear of the burner, must not be reduced. This
flow of air is reduced if dirt, lint or other obstructions build-up around or
inside the venturi. Any obstruction in the venturi tube area must be removed.
The flow of air into the venturi is also reduced if the gas orifice isn’t
centered in the venturi inlet and/or is not aligned with the venturi. Any
misalignment of the burner orifice may be corrected by bending the shutter cap
holding the orifice to the inlet or the venturi tube.
Ceiling Fans, Portable Fans or Logs Installed Near Cold Air Returns
Ceiling fans or oscillating floor type fans need to be monitored during the
operation of ventfree logs.
If the air blows directly into the flame causing it to impinge on the log set,
or firebox, it should be turned off or redirected. Ceiling fans could be
reversed to possibly eliminate flame impingement, and the floor fan could be
redirected.
Upon installation, be aware of any cold air returns or vents in the proximity
of the log set.
Any draft created around a vent-free log set can cause the flame to impinge on
the log and create a sooting situation.
Candles
Avoid the use of scented or decorative candles while the log set is in
operation.
Candles produce a residue in the air that creates a soot like substance.
Burning candles while the log set is operating magnifies the problem.
It should be noted that candles, in general, produce soot. The amount of time
burned and the quantity of candles burned will determine the amount of soot
produced and deposited.
Proper Log Set Operation
Properly installed and properly maintained log sets do not deposit soot on the
logs. If users see soot appear on a log, call for service. Do not continue to
operate the log set.
Sunken Fireplace
If installing this unit into a sunken fireplace, you must raise the floor to
insure adequate airflow and guard against sooting. Raise fireplace floor using
a noncombustible material, which is secure.
Glass Doors
Make sure that glass doors are open during all operations of the log set. The
opening of the glass door frame should be the dimension used for the minimum
front opening of the firebox.
Wood Burning Fireplaces
The interior of the firebox and the chimney should be cleaned and free of all
creosote before installing a gas burning log set.
Creosote will soften when heated and can drop on the log set causing odors and
possibly sooting.
INSTALLING LOGS
WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams
or failure to use only parts specifically approved with this heater may result
in property damage or personal injury.
CAUTION: After installation and periodically thereafter, check to ensure
that no yellow flame comes in contact with any log. With the heater set to
High, check to see if yellow flames contact any log. If so, reposition logs
according to the log installation instructions in this manual. Yellow flames
contacting logs will create soot. It is very important to install the logs
exactly as instructed. Do not modify logs. Use only logs supplied with heater.
Each log is marked with a number. This number will help you to identify the
logs when installing.
After installing logs, add decorative cinders around the grate base, do not
place any decorative cinders on logs or burner.
