Leak Test Procedures

After connecting the gas supply, test for leaks. Use a 50/50 solution of liquid soap and water to test for leaks at gas fitting and joints. Apply water/soap solution with brush only - do not over apply. NEVER test

with an open flame.

WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS!

NOTE: Always perform a leak test any time the appliance has been moved or disconnected from the gas supply line.

Damper Stop Installation

The Damper Stop provided keeps your damper from accidentally closing during operation of your set. This

Damper Stop must be installed onto your Damper at all times. NOTE: The damper clamp is designed to hold the damper plate open 3 inches. However, the damper must be fully open when the log set is in operation.

Install the Damper Stop onto the edge of the damper plate. Attach by securing the bolt provided to the damper plate with an adjustable wrench. (Fig. 5)

If the Damper Stop does not fit, drill a 1/4” hole into the damper plate and install an

anchor bolt with nut, at a 90 degree angle, so that the damper plate will remain fully open.

The proper finished installation of the Damper Stop is shown in Figure 6. If the bolt fails to block the damper in an open position, the damper should be removed from the chimney.

To check your vent for proper drafting: Light a tightly rolled newspaper on one end and place it at the inside front edge of the fireplace. Observe the smoke and be sure the vent is properly drawing it up the chimney. If the smoke is drawn back into the room, extinguish the flame and remove any obstruction until proper venting is achieved. If that fails, check with a qualified chimney sweep.
