Contents of Package
The Birchwood Log Set must use the burner supplied with the kit.
Burner/Grate Installation
- The decorative panels should be installed before the burner and log grate are installed. However, if the access cover to the valve control center (Figure 2) is to be removed, the panels will need to be installed later once the electrical connections are made and the access cover has been reinstalled. See “Special Note regarding the access cover:” on page 3.
Special Note regarding the access cover:
The access cover must be removed so that the pilot assembly wires can be
attached to the control module. If the fireplace has not been positioned in
its final location, access to the control module can be acheived without
removing the access cover. If the fireplace is in its final location, the
access cover will need to be removed.
- For ease of installation, place the burner tray onto the burner base plate but do not secure it to the burner base plate yet.
- Remove the bulkhead screws, plate, and gasket (Figure 3) to enable the ignition and sensor wires to be fed through the gasket and side wall and to the control module.
- Connect the ignition and sensor wires to the control module as shown in Figure 4.
- Reattach the bulkhead plate, gasket, and securing screws.
- Reattach the access cover plate if it is removed.
- Install the decorative panel set now while the burner is still able to be maneuvered. Refer to fiber panel set installation instructions located in the fireplace installation manual or porcelain panel installation instructions which are included in the porcelain panel set package.
- Slide the burner to the left as far as possible without making contact with the decorative panels once the panels have been installed. This will provide room to connect the gas lines.
- Attach the pilot and gas supply lines to the bulkhead fittings and tighten them (Figure 5). Ensure the connections are gas-tight. If installing this burner into an outdoor unit, please See “Outdoor Pilot Installation” on page 7 before continuing.
- With the electrical and gas lines now connected, slide the burner back to the center of the firebox.
- Locate the screws in the firebox bottom shield (Figure 6) and attach the burner using two long screws provided. Shift the burner back so that the keyhole slots are secured with the screws (Figure 7).
- Install the burner to the base plate by sliding the air manifold of the burner over the orifice and lower into place (Figure 8). Secure the burner to the plate using the provided hold down as seen in (Figure 9).
Outdoor Pilot Installation
The TC36 Outdoor unit comes with the pilot assembly pre-installed. Follow the instructions below to remove the pilot that comes with the burner and attach the pre-installed pilot.
- Loosen the screws securing the pilot mounting bracket to the back of the burner tray then slide the pilot and bracket up to disengage the bracket from the screws. (Figure 10)
- Remove the pilot mounting bracket from the burner pilot by removing the two screws securing it to the pilot. (Figure 11)
- Secure the pilot mounting bracket to the Unit pilot with the previously removed screws. (Figure 12)
- 4. Engage the pilot mounting bracket over the screws in the back of the burner tray and tighten them to secure the Unit pilot in place. (Figure 13)
Birchwood Log Kit Contents
The Birchwood Log Set comes with the following pieces:
Nine log pieces and a bog of ember material.
Log set placement
-
With the burner, panels, and log grate pre-installed (Figure 24), spread the contents of the ember wool bag around the fireplace floor. Break the ember wool into small pieces then spread it over the upper and lower burner tubes. Cover the gas supply hoses and electrical cables and connections with ember wool (Figure 25) but do not cover the pilot assembly.
-
Place log 1 onto the log grate behind the support tabs as shown in (Figure 26). The log should be centered in the fireplace. The back of log 1 is hollowed out and the bottom is flat indicating the correct orientation. The back of log 1 should rest flat against the rear of the fireplace.
-
Place log 2 onto the log grate shelf just in front of log 1. Log 2 should be positioned so that the short-detailed edge is sitting flush with the front edge of the shelf (Figure 27).
-
Position log 3 so that the back of the log is leaning flat against log 1 and its side is against the log grate ((Figure 28). The bottom end of log 3 should just be touching the side panel as well s the bottom front panel.
Special Note: After Start, if the tip of log 3 is directly in the flame, it should be rotated counter-clockwise to move the tip further back in the fireplace. -
Place log 4 so that it sits between the two leftmost grate supports and rests on log 3 (Figure 29). The base of log 4 should be sitting just in front of the lower burner tube.
-
Log 5 sits so that the cutout in the back of the log sits on the horizontal section of the log grate. The top end of log 5 should be resting on the right end of log 1 and just touching the side wall (Figure 30).
-
Place log 6 so that it rests in front of log 3 with the straight end just touching the side panel, close to the front glass. The forked end should be resting against the leg of the log grate (Figure 31).
-
Log 7 is placed so that it covers the gas supply lines and pilot cables. The forked end will be just resting on the bottom front panel with one side of the fork touching the side wall (Figure 32).
-
Log 8 rests on the bottom front panel partially in the ember wool. Log 8 is evenly spaced between log 7 and log 5 (Figure 33).
-
The final piece, log 9, is cradled between the two middle log grate supports as shown in (Figure 34). The above image shows an example of how the flame pattern should appear once the installation is complete.
