CAUTION: Do not remove the metal data plates attached to the heater base assembly. The data plates contain important warranty information.

WARNING: You must secure this heater to fireplace floor. If not, heater will move when you adjust controls. Moving heater may cause a gas leak.

WARNING: If installing in a sunken fireplace, special care is needed. You must raise the fire- place floor to allow access to heater control panel. This will in- sure adequate air flow and guard against sooting. Raise fireplace floor with non-combustible mate- rial. Make sure material is secure.

CAUTION: Do not pick up heater base assembly by the burner. This could damage heater. Only handle base assem- bly by grates.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the heater burn- ers are level. If heater is not level, heater will not work properly.

•sealant resistant to propane/LP gas, not provided

•electric drill with 3/16" masonry drill bit

1.Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads of the fitting to be threaded into gas regulator. Connect approved flex- ible gas hose to gas regulator of heater (see Figure 10).

2.Locate masonary screws in hardware package.

3.Position heater base assembly in fireplace.

4.Mark screw locations through holes in mounting flanges (see Figure 11). If in- stalling in a brick-bottom fireplace, mark screw locations in mortar joint of bricks.

5.Remove heater base from fireplace.

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

NOTICE: A qualified service per- son must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the propane supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator be- tween the heater and propane supply.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below.

•piping (check local codes)

•sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

•manual shutoff valve *

•test gauge connection *

•sediment trap

•tee joint

•pipe wrench

•two (2) 9-volt alkaline batteries (not in- cluded)

*An A.G.A. design-certified manual shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Pur- chase the optional A.G.A. design-certified manual shutoff valve from your dealer. See Accessories, page 21.

The installer must supply an external regu- lator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incom- ing gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure

12.Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
