- All gas connections were completed at the factory. Performing a leak test on all connections is required.
- It is recommended that this unit is installed as hard piped.
- Check all connections for leaks. If needed, tighten the connection with two wrenches and re-check for leaks.
- For hard piped installations: Position the fireplace over the gas line as shown in Image 3.1. Connect the gas supply line (not included) to the 1/2” male flare fitting on the valve. USE TWO WRENCHES TO ENSURE A GAS-TIGHT CONNECTION.
- Run gas line pipe up through the large round opening at the bottom of the base
C. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
- Feed electrical wiring up through the smaller hole in the base pan as shown in Image 3.2. Wire electrical into the junction box.
D. BURNER MAINTENANCE

Before doing any maintenance on the burner or DSI box, it is recommended to place a protective barrier, such as a towel or cardboard, over stainless steel caps.
-
Carefully lift burner out of burner pan and rest on side caps as shown in Image 3.3.
-
To access underneath the burner, the access plate coverings can be removed. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove bolts holding the access plate to the pan as shown in Image 3.4. Carefully lift up both access plates and tilt them inwards to remove them. Take care not to scratch stainless steel interior side panels.

A. DSI SYSTEM
Verify control switch is in OFF position. See Image 5.1.
If operating on a self-contained propane cylinder, ensure the cylinder valve
is CLOSED. If operating on a hard-piped system, ensure the main gas supply
shut-off valve and all other valves in the gas system are OPEN.
If operating on a self-contained propane cylinder, slowly open the cylinder
valve.
Turn the control switch to the ON position. A 1-2 second delay will occur
while the control module runs diagnostics. Sparking will then occur at the
ignition electrodes. See Image 5.2. Gas valve will open and the burner will
ignite.
If the burner does not ignite within a 12-second ignition window, turn the
control switch to the OFF position and wait 5 minutes to allow gas to
dissipate before attempting ignition again.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT THE BURNER IF YOU SMELL GAS.
While the burner is operating, the DSI system will continuously monitor the presence of a flame. If the flame signal is lost, the system will attempt re- ignition for up to 12 seconds. If the flame signal is lost for more than 12 seconds, the system will shut down.

Turn the control switch to the OFF position. See Image 5.1
If using a self-contained propane cylinder, close the valve.

valve. Press and hold the sparker button. Verify an audible and visible spark
is present within the ignition wind guard. See Image 6.2. Gently press and
turn the control knob to the LOW/IGNITION position. Fully depress control knob
and hold for 3-5 seconds. See Image 6.3.
The burner should ignite and continue to operate when the control knob is
released.
If the burner does not light or remain lit after 20 seconds of attempting
ignition, turn the control valve to the OFF position and wait 5 minutes to
allow gas to dissipate before attempting ignition again. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
LIGHT THE BURNER IF YOU SMELL GAS.
With the burner lit and operating, the flame height can be adjusted between
LOW and HIGH at any time. See Image 6.4.
