SAFETY

• IMPORTANT: Read all instructions and warnings carefully before starting installation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a possible electric shock, fire hazard and will void the warranty.
• WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
• WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual for correct installation and operational procedures. For assistance or additional information consult a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
• WARNING: This appliance requires a 1/2″ NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure regulator.
• WARNING: A qualified service person must connect log set to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
• WARNING: Never connect natural gas appliance to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.
• WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
• WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.
• WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
• WARNING: You must use a ON/OFF safety valve/pilot kit for propane/LP conversion.
• CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP appliance directly to the propane/LP supply. This appliance requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the appliance and propane/LP supply.
• CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2″ diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to log set. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.
• CAUTION: For additional convenience and safety, this ON/ OFF Valve/Safety Pilot Kit can be used with natural gas as well. If you are unsure of the proper application, call our customer service at 866-573-0674 for further information.
• CAUTION: If the fireplace does not have a gas supply shutoff valve, one must be installed.
• WARNING: This product contains and/or generates
  chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm.
