AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home. Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased insulation and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION Ventilation Air 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 or spaces open to the outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES CONNECTING ELECTRICAL SUPPLY This heater requires an 120V electrical outlet within 4 feet of the unit. This is a power supply for the remote receiver located in the bottom of the heater. Extensions cords may be used. The remote receiver requires 4 AA batteries. The batteries power the heater in case of an electrical power outage. 1. Locate 6V DC adapter. (Included with heater) 2. Plug connector end of adapter into the power change assembly on the back of the heater.
INSTALLATION CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY WARNING: A qualified service technician must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes. WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure regulator. WARNING: For natural gas, Never connect heater to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas. CAUTION: For propane gas, never connect heater directly to the gas supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied).
INSTALLATION Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater valves. For propane installations, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of w.c. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur.
INSTALLATION CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. If bubbles form, there is a leak. Correct all leaks at once. WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.

INSTALLATION INSTALLING LOGS WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts specifically approved with this heater may result in property damage or personal injury. CAUTION: After installation, and periodically thereafter, check to ensure that no flame comes in contact with any log. With the heater set to high, check to see if flames contact any log. If so, reposition logs according to the log installation instructions in this manual.
OPERATION FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly. B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
OPERATION Note: If pilot does not stay lit, refer to Troubleshooting, page 22. Also contact a qualified service technician or gas supplier for repairs. Until repairs are made, light pilot with match. To light pilot with match, see Manual Lighting Procedure. 7. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release control knob. Note: If pilot goes out, repeat steps 3 through 7. This heater has a safety interlock system. Wait one (1) minute before lighting pilot again. 8.
OPERATION REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM Programming the Remote and Receiver The remote and receiver must be “learned” to one another. To prepare the receiver box for learning, use a pen or small screwdriver to gently press and hold the learn button until you hear 3 series of beeps. 1. Place the slide switch on the receiver in the remote position (see Figure 19). 2. Turn control knob on the heater to the ON position. 3.
OPERATION Setting°F/°C Scale The factory setting for temperature is °F. To change this setting to °C, press the ON key and the OFF key on the remote control at the same time (see Figure 20, page 17). This will change from °F to °C. Follow this same procedure to change from °C back to °F. Manual Function To operate the system in the manual “MODE” do the following. ON OPERATION Press the ON key and the appliance flame will come on. During this time the LCD screen will show ON (see Figure 22).
INSPECTING BURNERS IMPORTANT: Owner’s should check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often. Incorrect flame patterns indicate the need for cleaning (see Care and Maintenance, page 20 or service. WARNING: Only a qualified service person should service and repair heater. This includes maintenance requiring replacement or alteration of components. PILOT FLAME PATTERN Figure 24 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 25 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE WARNING: Turn off heater and let cool before servicing. CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner, and circulating air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these areas of heater before each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a qualified service technician. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc. WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE CABINET LOGS Air Passageways Use a vacuum cleaner or pressurized air to clean. Exterior • Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water mixture. • Wipe the cabinet to remove dust. • If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Installing Logs, page 14, to properly replace logs. • Replace log(s) if broken or chipped (dimesize or larger).
