Installation 6 (for qualified installers only) Installation Warnings ! Failure to follow all of the requirements may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. ! This heater must be installed by a qualified installer who has gone through a training program for the installation of direct vent gas appliances. ! This appliance must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow current ANSI Z223.1 or NFPA 54 in the USA or the current CGA B149 in Canada.
Installation 7 (for qualified installers only) Heater Placement Requirements • • ? • • Heater must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the heater and vent Due to the high temperature of the heater, it should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
Installation 8 (for qualified installers only) Vent Requirements ! Always maintain the required 1” clearance (air space) to combustible materials to prevent a fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insulation. ! The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it’s own separate vent system.
Installation Approved Vent Configurations Restrictor Position • A vent restrictor is built into the appliance to control the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures proper flames for the wide variety of vent configurations. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be required to adjust the restrictor position. The charts for approved vent configurations describe which position the vent restrictor must be in.

Installation 17 (for qualified installers only) Finalizing the Installation ! 1 Turn the gas control valve to “OFF” prior to conducting any service. Install the control box following the instructions below. b Phillips Screwdriver Place the control box in place and secure with the two screws. NOTE: a tab on the back of the control box inserts into this slot. a Remove the wire cover by loosening these screws and sliding it to the left.
Installation 18 6 • (for qualified installers only) Let the heater burn for thirty minutes. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame (see the illustration below). The air shutter adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas before it exits the burner holes. It is used to fine-tune the flame for differences in altitude and vent configuration. ADJUSTING THE AIR SHUTTER Gas Control Valve Pushing to the left gives the flame less air (making it more orange).
Installation 19 (for qualified installers only) Opening the Door Swing the right panel back. Open the latch. With the pawl free of the strike, the door may be swung open. Strike Pawl Door Frame When securing the door, make sure the pawl fits over the strike before tightening. NOTE: Do not overtighten the pawl by screwing it in. This will permanently damage the latch.
Installation 20 (for qualified installers only) Log Set and Coal Installation Step 1 Before installing the log set, make sure the burner is seated correctly. Remove the burner following the directions on page 31. Replace the burner making sure it is seated correctly (see page 31). Step 2 a Place the rear log on the two platforms at the rear of the firebox. AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA A AA AA These pins insert into the holes in the log. AA A AA AAAA AA AA b Place the left and right twig.
Operation 21 Safety Notice Read this entire manual (especially the “Safety Precautions” on pages 2 and 3) before using this stove. Failure to follow the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. Location of Controls ON/OFF Switch The pilot flame is located below the rear log. The on/off switch is located on the back of the heater.
Operation 22 Starting The Pilot Flame The pilot flame is required to ignite the main burners (it also plays a safety role). It should be left on once lit. It will stay lit unless the gas control valve is turned to "OFF". However, the pilot will go out if the gas is shut off, the propane tank runs out (or low) or if the stove malfunctions. If the pilot turns off frequently, call your dealer for information.
Operation 23 Starting the Heater for the First Time Cleaning Gold Surfaces Fingerprints or other marks left on gold surfaces may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior to turning the stove on. With the heater cool, clean gold surfaces with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth. Fumes from the Painted Surfaces Curing Burn the heater at a medium setting for approximately one hour the first time. This will cure the painted surfaces.
Operation 24 Optional Blower - Adjusting the Speed The blower helps transfer heat from the heater into the room. It will not turn on until the heater is up to temperature (approximately 10 minutes after starting). See the illustration below for instructions on adjusting the blower speed. OFF Turn the dial all the way counter-clockwise until it clicks off. HIGH The high position is all the way counter-clockwise, without clicking off. LOW Turn the dial all the way clockwise.
Maintenance 25 Cleaning Your Heater Warning: Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional gold surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior to turning the stove on. With the heater cool, use denatured alcohol and a soft cloth to clean gold surfaces. Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the gold. Yearly Service Procedure Warning: Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous situation.

Maintenance 27 How this Heater Works Warning This heater was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside this heater are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this heater. What Turns the Main Burners On and Off When heated, the thermopile generates electricity (a very small amount measured in "Millivolts"). This electricity is used to operate the main burners.
