INSTALLING VENTED APPLICATIONS
WARNING
The fireplace and gas logs function as a system. If the fireplace is spilling into the room (check with a match or a smoke stick), reposition the damper clamp until a positive draft is obtained by opening the damper. If negative pressure in home prevents having a positive draft, contact your dealer for assistance.
PLACING AND SECURING APPLIANCE
WARNING
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, as described in “PLACEMENT IN A FIREPLACE WITH RESTRICTIVE BARRIER” on page 10.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE:
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.Anchor holes are located on the right and left sides of the unit. After centering the grate correctly, mark the hole positions on the fireplace/firebox floor. Drill four (4) 5/32" diameter holes approximately 11/2" deep.
3.Anchor the unit to the fireplace/firebox floor using the screws provided. Refer to Figure 12.
Proper installation of the grate is essential to prevent any movement of the gas logs and controls during operation.
