INSTALLING AS A VENTED APPLIANCE

Notice (Damper Clamp Installation)

When installing your log set as a vented installation the damper clamp must be used.

When installing your log set as a vent-free installation the damper clamp can be used to eliminate the potential for odors when burning the logs for the first time.

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, non-combustible material and minimum mantel requirements do not apply.

BEFORE FULLY INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

Turn off the gas supply to the fireplace or firebox.

Seal any fresh air vents and/or ash clean-out doors located on the floor or wall of the fireplace. If left unsealed, drafting may cause pilot outage or sooting. Use a heat resistant sealant. Do not seal the chimney flue damper.

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.

Assembly Procedure: (Figure 10)

1.Center the gas log unit in the fireplace or firebox. Make certain the front feet of the grate sit inside the front edge of the fireplace or firebox.

2.An anchor hole is provided in the two bottom side members of the grate frame. After centering the grate correctly, mark the hole positions on the fireplace/firebox floor. Drill two (2) 5/32" diameter holes approximately 1-1/2" deep for masonry screws or 1/8" hole for sheet metal screws.

3.Anchor the grate to the fireplace/firebox floor using the screws provided. Refer to Figure 10.

Proper installation of the grate is essential to prevent any move- ment of the gas logs and controls during operation.
