H. Adequate Combustion Ventilation Air
This appliance shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight
construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and
ventilation air. The National Fuel Gas Code, (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54), defines a
confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000
BTU per hour (4.8m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances
installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which
the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are
considered a part of a confined space.
WARNING
If the area in which the appliance may be operated does not meet the required
volume for indoor combustion air, combustion and ventilation air shall be
provided by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code or applicable local codes.
I. Negative Pressure
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the
fireplace to operate properly. Possible causes for this imbalance include: ·
Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.) · Range hoods · Combustion air requirements
for furnaces, water heat-
ers and other combustion appliances
· Clothes dryers
· Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning
· Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system · Upper level air leaks: recessed
lighting, attic hatch
opening, duct leaks.

G. Flame Appearance
Flames from the pilot and burner should be visually checked as soon as the
appliance is installed. In addition, periodically check the flames visually
during operation.
Pilot Flame:
The IPI pilot flame must always be present when the appliance is in operation.
Pilot flame should engulf the flame sensor rod. See Figure 5.18.
If the pilot flame does not touch the flame sensor, then the main burner
cannot function reliably.
H. Operating Instructions
Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow
directly on the appliance. Do not place a blower inside the burn area of the
fireplace. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter flame patterns. Sooting
and improper burning will result.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this
appliance are treated with certain oils, films or bonding agents. These
chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they
are burned off during the initial operation of the appliance, possibly causing
headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary
occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last four hours with the burner at the
highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to
allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in will
be slight and will disappear with continued use.
This appliance must not be operated with glass doors in the closed position.
Figure 5.18 IPI Pilot Flame
Main Burner Flame:
Operate the appliance at full rate for 45 minutes, the following flame
appearances should be observed.
Burner will have a random pattern of yellow flames, with glowing embers
covering the main burner.
Note: This appliance is a vented gas log set, therefore some flame impingement
and soot is normal.
Observe flames for excessive impingement with any of the logs. If excessive
impingement is present, turn off log set and allow to cool. Remove all logs
and carefully reinstall following log placement instructions precisely.
Relight burner and check again for excessive impingement. If flame impingement
cannot be eliminated, contact your installer or dealer for assistance.
