THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
The thermostat control used on this heater differs from standard thermostats. Standard thermostats simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater senses the room temperature and adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner. This will increase or decrease the flame height. At times, the room may exceed the set temperature, which will cause the burner to shut off. When room temperature drops below the thermostat setting, the burner will cycle itself on again. The flame control knob can be set to any level between 2 and 7.
NOTE: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the temperature of air near the heater cabinet. This may not always agree with room temperature ( depending on housing construction, installation location , room size, open air temperature, etc.). Frequent use of your heater will allow you to determine your personal comfort levels.

MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE
1. If the pilot cannot be ignited with the igniter on the control valve, it can be manually lit with the use of a paper match and a lighter rod.

2. Place the match in the holder and light. With other hand, depress the control knob

counterclockwise

to PILOT.

3. Use rod to light match and ignite pilot. The pilot is located behind the burner tub and in

front of the rear log. Fully open the manual shut-off valve.

4. Continue to hold the control knob for an additional (1) one minute to ensure the pilot

is completely on.

x If the knob does not pop up when released, stop and immediately call your service tech-

nician or gas supplier.

x If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas control knob to “OFF” and

call your service technician or gas supplier.

5. Turn control knob counterclockwise

to “ON” position.

-Set thermostat (flame control) to desired setting. Turn clockwise

and counterclockwise

SOME AREAS IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE HIGHER REQUIREMENTS FOR CUBIC FEET PER 1000 BTU/ HOUR INPUT. (EX. CINCINNATI, OHIO CODES REQUIRE 70 CUBIC FEET). CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODE BEFORE INSTALLATION.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION OR UNCONFINED SPACE.

Use this worksheet to determine if you have unusually tight construction or unconfined space.

SPACE: Includes the room in which you install the heater plus adjoining rooms with door less passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.

1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height). Length x Width x Height = __cu. ft. (volume of space) EXAMPLE: 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling Height) = 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.

2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support. __(volume of space) / 50 cu. Ft.= maximum BTU/Hr the space can support) EXAMPLE: 2560 cu. Ft. (volume of space /50 cu. Ft.=51.2 or 51200 (maximum BTU/Hr the space can support)

3. Add the BTU/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

TOTAL

= 58,000 BTU/Hr

*DOES NOT INCLUDE DIRECT-VENT GAS APPLIANCES. DIRECT-VENT DRAWS COMBUSTION AIR FROM OUTDOORS AND VENTS TO THE OUTDOORS.

4. Compare the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of BTU/Hr used. ____BTU/Hr (maximum the space can support) ____BTU/Hr ( actual amount of BTU/Hr used)
EXAMPLE: 51200BTU/Hr (maximum the space can support) 58000BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used)

The space in the above example is unusually tight construction because the actual BTU/Hr used is more than the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support. You must provide additional fresh air . Your options are as follows: A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides an
unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See “Ventilation Air For Combustion And Ventilation From Inside Building”, page 21. B. Vent room directly to the outdoors . See “Ventilation For Combustion And Ventilation From Air Outdoors”, page 22. C. Install a lower BTU/Hr heater , if lower BTU/Hr size makes room unconfined.

If the actual BTU/Hr used is less than the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
WARNING
YOU MUST PROVIDE ADDITIONAL VENTILATION AIR IN UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION

Page 20

VENTILATION AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION FROM INSIDE BUILDING
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When ventilating to an adjoining space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12″ of the ceiling and one within 12″ of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (See options 1 and 2, Figure 6). You can also remove door into adjoining room (See option 3, Figure 6).
WARNING
REWORK WORKSHEET, ADDING THE SPACE OF THE ADJOINING UNCONFINED SPACE. THE COMBINED SPACES MUST HAVE ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF AIR TO SUPPLY ALL APPLIANCES IN BOTH SPACES.
NOTE: Each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 1000 BTUs per hour of the total input rating of all gas utilization equipment in the confined space, but not less than 100 square inch.

WARNING
THIS HEATER MUST HAVE ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF AIR FOR PROPER OPERATION. IF NOT, POOR FUEL COMBUSTION COULD RESULT. READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE PROPER AMOUNT OF AIR FOR THIS AND OTHER FUEL-BURNING APPLIANCES IN YOUR HOME.
VENTILATION AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION FROM OUTDOORS
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent openings: one within 12″ of the ceiling and one within 12″ of the floor. Connect these items directly to the outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel Codes NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air For Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat– controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic will activate the power vent.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Although your gas logs are very realistic in appearance, it is not a real burning fireplace and must not be used for burning solid fuel.
To avoid irreparable damage to the heater or personal injury, matches, paper, garbage, or any other material must not be placed or thrown on top of the logs or into the flames.
To avoid personal injury, do not touch hot surfaces when the heater is operating. Close supervision is necessary when the heater is being operated near children.
WARNING: IN THE EVENT OF THE LOG BEING REMOVED, CARE SHOULD BE
TAKEN TO NOT DAMAGE THE LOGS.
THE HEATER IS INTENDED FOR USE AS A GAS HEATER MOUNTED IN A VENTED OR VENT- FREE FIREPLACE AS DESCRIBED IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS. IT SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.
CLEANING
CAUTION BEFORE CLEANING OR MOVING LOGS OR OTHER PARTS
OF THE HEATER, BE SURE TO READ THE ABOVE SECTION ON “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS”.
All cleaning should be carried out when the heater is cold. Only limited cleaning will be required under normal use. Dusting the front of the base, the top of the piezo cover, or the control knob panel may be required occasionally. Do not use any cleaning fluids to clean the logs or any other part of the heater.
If the flames show any unusual shapes or behavior, or if the burners fail to ignite properly, then the burner holes may require cleaning. If this occurs, it is preferable to contact your nearest dealer to get your heater serviced.
Alternatively, the heater can be cleaned by removing the top, front, and rear logs. Handle the logs gently so as not to damage them. Always lift each log by holding it carefully at each end. Use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove dust and loose particles from the base, logs, and from around the burners.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air openings(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in
sooting and property damage.
