• After the gas line installation is complete, all connections must be tightened and checked for leaks with a commercially available, non-corrosive leak check solution. Be sure to rinse off all leak check solutions following testing.

Fittings and connections may have loosened during shipping and handling.

• Gas Supply Pressure: Minimum inlet gas supply pressure must be 4.5 in. W.C. for natural gas or 11 in. W.C. for LP gas for input adjustment. Maximum inlet gas pressure must not exceed 7.0 in. W.C. for natural gas or 13 in. W.C. for LP gas. The gas line supplying the appliance must be sufficient size to furnish the appropriate supply pressure to the appliance while operating in the “High” setting. (Minimum line ID of 1/2 in. required if the line is longer than 20 ft.).
• Gas Line Pressure Test: Perform pressure test according to state and local code (if pressure exceeds 1/2 in. psi [3.5 kPa]) before the appliance is connected. Be sure to release air pressure from the gas line before connection is made to the appliance. Excessive pressure will damage the gas control and may cause a gas leak.
• Gas Leak Test: Make sure the gas connections are tight. Turn on the gas and coat each joint with a non-corrosive gas leak check solution. Air bubbles will form indicating any leaks. DO NOT USE A FLAME OR ANY TYPE OF IGNITION SOURCE TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. All leaks must be corrected before proceeding with installation.
• The appliance must only be installed in a solid-fuel-burning fireplace with the flue damper clamped open.
• The minimum permanent free opening (in square inches) that must be provided by the fireplace chimney or damper to vent the flue gases is provided in Table 1. If the free opening is smaller than the specified area, do not use this appliance.
• The damper must be removed or fixed in a manner that will secure it open. Some jurisdictions require the damper to be removed or permanently welded fully open. Check with state and local codes.
• Be sure that the chimney is completely unobstructed to ensure proper ventilation of flue gases including carbon monoxide (CO).CO (a poisonous gas) is tasteless, odorless, colorless undetectable without proper equipment.

High Altitude Derate
In the USA, input BTU shall be derated 4% (one orifice size) per 1000 feet for altitudes above 2000 feet. In Canada, input BTU shall be derated 10% (two orifice sizes) at altitudes from 2000-4500 feet.

CAUTION

• Prevent accidental appliance operation when not attended.
• Unplug or remove batteries from the remote control if absent or if the appliance will not be used for an extended period.
• Property damage is possible from elevated temperatures.

Installation Instructions

Install the Damper Stop

• Open the damper to the fully open position and secure it open with the stop as shown in Figure 4.1.
• If the damper stop doesn’t fit your application, use a permanent means that will keep the damper open at least to the minimum vent opening as outlined in Table 1, Section 1. B.

Install the Burner/Pan Assembly
The burner/pan assembly is shipped and ready for the right-hand gas connection. See Section 3. B for the left-hand connection.

• Remove the existing cap or gas jet assembly from the gas stub in your fireplace. Clean the threads using a wire brush or steel wool. Apply Teflon tape or joint compound to the steel fitting and attach the provided brass adapter to the stub.
• Place the burner/pan assembly in the fireplace. The pan should be centered both front to back and side to side.
• Bend the provided gas connector to facilitate its installation between the burner and the gas stub.
• Attach one end of the gas connector to the brass elbow or safety pilot fitting. Attach the other end to the brass adapter at the gas tube.

Install the Grate
The grate should be centered over the burner pan, side to side. If the grate sits toward the front of the burner pan, the flames will be larger coming through the logs. If the grate sits toward the back of the burner pan, the ember bed will be more prominent. Refer to Figure 4.2.

Place Sand/Vermiculite, Rockwool
Pour the sand (NG models) or vermiculite (LP models) into the burner pan. Sand or vermiculite should follow the slope of the pan, covering it and the burner tube completely.

• Important: Cover the pilot assembly to protect it before installing the sand or vermiculite.
• Note: Use caution so vermiculite does not get into the air mixer on LP models.
• Allow the sand or vermiculite to spill out the front of the pan and over the sides onto the fireplace floor.

WARNING

Explosion Risk

• Follow the rockwool placement instructions in this manual.
• Replace rockwool material annually. Improperly placed rockwool interferes with proper burner operation.
• Lightly place dime-sized pieces of rockwool evenly on top of the sand or vermiculite.
• Inspect the pilot burner to ensure it is clear of any rock wool.

Note:
For best results, do not pack down the rock wool. The placement of rock wool affects the flame pattern and may need to be adjusted to achieve the desired appearance.

• The gas burns at the point of the least resistance. In case of an uneven flame pattern, it may be necessary to adjust the materials in the pans (using an object such as a screwdriver) to achieve the desired effect.

Install the Logs

• Install the logs using the installation instructions included with them.
• Light the burner as outlined in the operating section. Allow the flame pattern to stabilize. If you are satisfied with the flame pattern go to the next step. If you want more or less flame around the front log, turn off the gas and move the grate backward or forward.
• Once you are satisfied, turn on the gas and go on to the next step.
• Arrange the top logs as shown in your log instructions. Light the burner as outlined in the operating instructions and allow the flame to stabilize.
• Spread the lava rock around the outside of the burner pan on the floor of the fireplace. If possible, cover the gas connector with the cinders. DO NOT cover any part of the pilot assembly.

WARNING

Fire Risk
Explosion Risk

Personal Injury Risk
Failure to position the parts by the diagrams provided with the log packages or failure to use only parts approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.

Note:
If your log set is the burnt-out type, place the rock wool in the center of the logs to give a glowing ember effect.

Adjust the Pilot Flame
The pilot flame should be a soft blue color and should surround the last 1/2 in. of the thermocouple tip. Refer to Figure 4.3. to locate the pilot adjustment screw. If the pilot flame must be adjusted, use a standard slotted screwdriver to turn the screw clockwise to reduce the flame or counterclockwise to increase the flame.

Inspect the Venting System
The fireplace venting system is designed and constructed to develop a positive flow adequate to remove flue gases to the outside atmosphere. See fireplace installation instructions.

A spillage test must be made before the installed appliance is left with the consumer

• Close all doors and windows in the home.
• Light the log set.
• After three minutes, test with a smoke match, smoke candle, stick incense o,r cigarette one inch below the top of the opening (lintel) moving across the full width. If spillage (smoke drawn into the room) occurs, it will most likely be near the top, and outside corners.

Possible Cures if Spilling Occurs

• The damper should be fully open.
• The fireplace opening needs to be reduced by adding a drop panel across the top under the lintel.
• The air supply from outdoors needs to be increased. Open the outside air kit if the appliance is so equipped, or crack open a door or window.
• If necessary, seek expert advice. Do not operate this appliance.

Cleaning

• Always turn off the gas to the pilot before cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting instructions located in Section 5 of these instructions.
• Always keep the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance clear of all obstacles and materials.
• Leave a clearance of at least 36 in. from the front of the fireplace.
• The air shutter should not be blocked.

CAUTION
Logs can get very hot. Handle only when they are cool.

Troubleshooting

With proper installation and maintenance, your new decorative gas appliance should provide years of trouble-free service. If you do experience a problem, refer to the troubleshooting guide below. This guide will assist you or a qualified service technician in the diagnosis of problems and the corrective action to be taken.

1. A match will not light the pilot.| Possible Cause

A. The main shutoff valve is closed.

| Corrective Action

1. Make sure that the shutoff valve located on the incoming gas line is open.

---|---|---
B. There is air in the gas line.| 1. Light a match. Turn the valve knob to the “Pilot” position and depress. Keep the match near the pilot burner until it lights.
C. The valve knob is in the “OFF” position.| 1. Turn the valve knob to the “Pilot” position and depress. Keep the match near the pilot burner until it lights.

D. The pilot orifice is plugged, not allowing gas to flow.

| ****

1. This repair requires tools and some degree of experience.

Call a qualified service technician.

E. There is no gas supply to the fireplace.

| 1. Check the plumbing to ensure the fireplace has been

hooked up to the gas supply line.

| 2. The propane tank is empty.

2. The pilot lights, but will not stay lit after

carefully following lighting instructions.

| ****

A. The thermocouple is too tight or too loose.

| ****

1. The thermocouple must be attached to the valve finger-

tight plus a 1/8″ turn with a wrench.

B. There is a weak pilot.

| 1. The pilot flame must engulf the thermocouple. Clean and/or adjust the pilot for maximum flame impingement on the thermocouple.
C. Defective thermocouple.| 1. Check the thermocouple with a millivolt meter as follows: Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve and connect the red lead of the meter to the silver end of the thermocouple.

Connect the black lead of the meter to the copper tubing of the thermocouple. Light the pilot and keep the knob

depressed while taking a reading. The meter readings should

be greater than 14 mV. If not, replace the thermocouple.

3. The pilot is on, but there is no gas to

the main burner; the valve knob is on.

| A. A blockage is preventing the gas flow.| 1. Inspect the burner orifice for obstruction. Call a qualified

service technician.

B. Defective valve.| 1. Replace the gas valve. Call a qualified service technician.

LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

Hearth & Home Technologies LLC LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
Hearth & Home Technologies LLC (“HHT”) extends the following warranty for HHT gas, wood, pellet, and electric hearth appliances (each a “Product” and collectively, the “Product(s)”) and certain parts outlined in the table below (“Component Part(s)”) that are purchased from a HHT authorized dealer or distributor.

WARRANTY COVERAGE:
HHT warrants that the Products and their Component Parts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the applicable period of Warranty coverage outlined in the table below (“Warranty Period”). If a Product or Component Parts are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable Warranty Period, HHT will, at its option, repair the applicable Component Part(s), replace the applicable Component Part(s), or refund the purchase price of the applicable Product(s). The maximum amount recoverable under this Warranty is limited to the purchase price of the Product. This Warranty is transferable from the original purchaser to subsequent owners, but the Warranty Period will not be extended in duration or expanded in coverage for any such transfer. This Warranty is subject to conditions, exclusions, and limitations as described below.

WARRANTY PERIOD:
Warranty coverage begins at the date of installation. In the case of new home constructions, Warranty coverage begins on the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the Product(s) by an independent, authorized HHT dealer or distributor, whichever occurs earlier. However, the Warranty coverage shall commence no later than 24 months following the date of Product shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date.

The term “Lifetime” in the table below is defined as 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for gas appliances, and 10 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood and pellet appliances. These periods reflect the minimum expected useful lives of the designated Component Parts under normal operating conditions.

WARRANTY CONDITIONS:

• Because HHT cannot control the quality of any Products sold by unauthorized sellers, this Warranty only covers Products that are purchased through an HHT authorized dealer or distributor unless otherwise prohibited by law; a list of HHT authorized dealers is available on the HHT branded websites.
• This Warranty is only valid while the applicable Product remains at the site of original installation.
• This Warranty is only valid in the country in which the HHT-authorized dealer or distributor that sold the applicable Product is authorized to sell the applicable Product.
• Contact your installing distributor or dealer for Warranty service. If the installing dealer or distributor is unable to provide the necessary parts, contact the nearest HHT-authorized dealer or supplier. Additional service fees may apply if you are seeking Warranty service from a dealer other than the dealer from whom you originally purchased the applicable Product.
• No HHT consumer should bear the st of warranty service or costs incurred while servicing warranty claims (i.e., travel, gas, or mileage) when the service is performed within the terms of this Warranty. Check with your dealer or distributor in advance for any costs to you when arranging a warranty call. Travel and shipping charges for parts are not covered by this Warranty.

WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS:
This Warranty does not cover the following:

• Changes in surface finishes as a result of normal use. As a heating appliance, some changes in the color of interior and exterior surface finishes may occur. This is not a flaw and is not covered under the Warranty.
• Damage to printed, plated, or enameled surfaces caused by fingerprints, accidents, misuse, scratches, melted items, or other external sources and residues left on the plated surfaces from the use of abrasive cleaners or polishes.
• Repair or replacement of parts that are subject to normal wear and tear during the Warranty Period are not covered. These parts include paint, wood and pellet gaskets, firebricks, grates, flame guides, batteries, and the discoloration of glass.
• Minor expansion, contraction, or movement of certain parts causing noise. These conditions are normal and complaints related to this noise are not covered by this Warranty.
• Damages resulting from: (1) failure to install, operate, or maintain the applicable Product in accordance with the installation instructions, operating instructions, and listing agent identification label furnished with the applicable Product; (2) failure to install the applicable Product in accordance with local building codes; (3) shipping or improper handling; (4) improper operation, abuse, misuse, continued operation with damaged, corroded or failed components, accident, or improperly/incorrectly performed repairs; (5) environmental conditions, inadequate ventilation, negative pressure, or drafting caused by tightly sealed constructions, insufficient make-up air supply, or handling devices such as exhaust fans or forced air furnaces or other such causes; (6) use of fuels other than those specified in the operation instructions; (7) installation or use of components not supplied with the applicable Product or any other components not expressly authorized and approved by HHT; (8) modification of the appliance not expressly authorized and approved by HHT in writing; and/or (9) interruptions or fluctuations of electrical power supply to the applicable Product.
• Non-HHT venting components, hearth connections, or other accessories used in conjunction with the applicable Product.
• Any part of a pre-existing fireplace system in which an insert or a decorative gas applicable Product is installed.
• HHT’s obligation under this Warranty does not extend to the Product’s capability to heat the desired space. Information is provided to assist the consumer and the dealer in selecting the proper Prproductor for the application. Consideration must be given to the Product location and configuration, environmental conditions, insulation, and air tightness of the structure.

This warranty is void if:

• The applicable Product has been over-fired and operated in atmospheres contaminated by chlorine, fluorine, or other damaging chemicals. Over-firing can be identified by, but not limited to, warped plates or tubes, deformation/warping of interior cast iron structure or components, rust-colored cast iron, bubbling, cracking, and discoloration of steel or enamel finishes.
• The applicable Product is subjected to prolonged periods of dampness or condensation.
• There is any damage to the applicable Product due to water or weather damage which is the result of, but not limited to, improper chimney or venting installation.

LIMITATIONS OF REMEDIES AND LIABILITY:
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, HHT MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY SPECIFIED HEREIN. The owner’s exclusive remedy and HHT’s sole obligation under this Warranty or in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement of the Component Part(s), repair of the Component Part(s), or refund of the original purchase price of the applicable Product(s), as specified above; provided, however, that (i) if HHT is unable to provide replacement of the Component Part(s) and repair of the Component Part(s) is not commercially practicable or cannot be timely made, or (ii) the customer is willing to accept a refund of the purchase price of the applicable Product(s), HHT may discharge all such obligations by refunding the purchase price of the applicable Product. In no event will HHT be liable for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in the applicable Product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from State to State. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESSED WARRANTY SPECIFIED ABOVE FOR THE APPLICABLE PRODUCT. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
