Installing Damper Clamp (Figure 9)
Remove all ashes or other debris from the fireplace. If the fireplace is equipped with an ash dump be sure to seal the door with furnace cement or high temperature silicone. Be sure to check the damper for proper operation and verify that the flue passageway is open.
Place the clamp over the lip of the damper and tighten the hold down bolt until the clamp is securely attached to the damper. This will prevent the damper from accidentally closing.
Manual and millivolt controlled gas logs may be installed as a vented decorative log set in compliance with ANSI Z21.60 and National Fuel Gas Code. When the gas logs are operated with the damper open,
State of Massachusetts requirement for installation of vented decorative appliance in a vented fireplace is the following:
A vented decorative gas appliance must be installed in a vented fireplace only in the state of Massachusetts. The vent damper must be removed or welded permanently open.
BEFORE FULLY INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
•Turn off the gas supply to the fireplace or firebox.
•Seal any fresh air vents and/or ash
Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner.
You must secure the gas log heater to the fireplace floor. If not, the entire unit may move when you adjust the controls. Movement of unit may cause shifting of the gas logs which leads to sooting and improper burning. Grate movement could cause a gas leak.
Special care is required if you are installing the unit into a sunken fireplace. You must raise the fireplace floor to allow access to gas log controls. This will insure adequate air flow and guard against sooting. Raise the fireplace floor using noncombustible materials.
