Owner`s manual

PRE-INSTALLATION AND FIREPLACE PREPARATION SAFETY

A. This appliance is designed as an attended appliance. Adults must be present when this gas appliance is operating.

Do not leave this unit burning when unattended or while anyone is sleeping.

B. This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is NOT FIELD

CONVERTIBLE for use with other gasses.

C. BE CAREFUL: If not installed, serviced, and used correctly per these instructions, this product can cause

serious personal injury, property damage, or loss of life.

PRE-INSTALLATION AND FIREPLACE PREPARATION SAFETY GUIDELINES

D. WARNING: Before installing in a solid-fuel-burning ﬁ replace, the chimney ﬂ ue, damper, and ﬁ rebox must be

thoroughly CLEANED of soot, creosote, ashes, and loose paint, and must be inspected by a qualiﬁ ed chimney

cleaner. Some older ﬁ replaces may need repair prior to installing this appliance.

E. CHECK GAS TYPE (natural or propane): The gas supply must be the same as stated on your burner system rating

plate. If gas supply is different, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your dealer for immediate assistance.

F. Any outside air ducts and/or ash dumps located on the ﬂ oor or walls of the ﬁ replace must be permanently sealed shut

before the installation. Use a heat-resistant sealant. Do not seal the chimney ﬂ ue damper.

G. INSUFFICIENT GAS PRESSURE WILL KEEP THE PILOT FROM OPERATING PROPERLY. DO NOT USE IF GAS

PRESSURE IS LOWER THAN THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT.

H. The minimum inlet gas-supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment is 5" water column (w.c.) on natural gas

and 11" w.c. on propane gas. Insufﬁ cient gas pressure will affect proper operation of the pilot. Do not install this gas

appliance if minimum pressure is not available. The maximum inlet gas-supply pressure is 10.5" w.c. on natural gas

and 13" w.c. on propane gas. The propane source must be regulated. (Do not connect this appliance directly to an

unregulated propane gas tank - this can cause an explosion.)

I. The gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure at the maximum ﬂ ow rate (BTU/hr). Undue

pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small, or the run is too long.

J. The minimum clearance from the ﬁ replace opening to combustible materials on side walls and ceiling must be maintained

as outlined in MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES - WALLS AND CEILING.

K. At least 10"-12" of noncombustible or heat-resistant material is required above the ﬁ replace. A ﬁ replace hood will

be required to act as a heat deﬂ ector in protecting combustible ﬁ replace surrounds (facing and/or mantel) if certain

minimum clearances cannot be met.

L. Be certain that combustible ﬂ ooring material (e.g., carpet, tile, etc.) is not too close to this gas appliance. If this appliance

is at ﬂ oor level or less than 6" above the ﬂ oor, there must be at least 12" of noncombustible material between the base

of the ﬁ replace and any combustible ﬂ ooring.

M. Input ratings shown in BTU per hour are for elevations up to 2,000 ft. For elevations above 2,000 ft., refer to the National

Fuel Gas Code or contact the Robert H. Peterson Company before installing this product.

N. This gas appliance and its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas-supply piping system during any pressure

testing of that system at test pressures in excess of

psig.

O. This gas appliance must be isolated from the gas-supply piping system by closing the equipment shutoff valve connected

to the gas-supply line during any pressure testing of the gas-supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less

than

psig.

P. Do not use this appliance if any part has been underwater. Immediately call a qualiﬁ ed service technician to inspect the

appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that has been underwater.

CAUTION: Installation and repair must be done by an NFI Certiﬁ ed or other qualiﬁ ed professional

installer.

Installer: Carefully read these instructions before installing this gas burner system. Be sure you understand

all safety precautions and warnings contained in this manual.
