INSTALLATION UNIT INSTALLATION WITH HORIZONTAL TERMINATION Install the vent system according to the manufacturer's instructions included with the components. 1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in the way when the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in the gas preferably on the right side of the unit and the electrical (junction block is on the left side) on the left.
INSTALLATION VERTICAL TERMINATION Diagram 5 The four wood screws provided should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of sidings. Note: If installing termination on a siding covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding. 7) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall Thimble (Part # 1247) over the vent pipe.
INSTALLATION the vertical height must be increased. A poor draft, or down drafting can result from high wind conditions near big trees or adjoining roof lines, in these cases, increasing the vent height may solve the problem. 7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base of the flashing to the roof with roofing rails, slide storm collar over the pipe section and seal with a mastic. 8) Install the vertical termination cap by twistlocking it.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Copy of the Lighting Plate Instructions NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS OF GAS APPLIANCES It is possible that you will hear some sounds from your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal due to the fact that there are various gauges and types of steel used within your appliance. Listed below are some examples. All are normal operating sounds and should not be considered as defects in your appliance.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 1) Always turn off the gas valve before cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting instructions. Keep the burner and control compartment clean by brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. When cleaning the logs, use a soft clean paint brush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged. 2) Clean appliance and door with a damp cloth (never when unit is hot). Never use an abrasive cleaner. The glass should be cleaned with a gas fireplace glass cleaner.
MAINTENANCE FAN MAINTENANCE Ensure that the fan blades do not rub against the valve tubing. See diagram 1. Unit must be grounded at all times. Do not cut the ground terminal off under any circumstances. To Install the Fans 1) Shut the power off. 2) Open the bottom louver. Loosen the 2 screws holding the Burner ON/OFF switch and bracket to the bottom louver and lift the assembly out. 3) Remove the bottom louver by loosening the 2 hinge screws. IMPORTANT: There are 2 fans in this fireplace.
MAINTENANCE REMOVING VALVE 1) Shut the power off. 2) Open the bottom louver door. Loosen the 2 screws holding the Burner ON/OFF switch and bracket to the bottom louver and lift the assembly out. 9) Remove the front bottom brick panel by sliding it out. Then remove the back bottom brick panel by tilting it slightly up and then out. The brick panel is very fragile - handle with care. Hint: If you are using black pipe, ensure that there is a union by the valve, otherwise removal will be almost impossible.
