Figure 2 - Technical Information Charts
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use only natural gas. If your gas supply is not natural gas, you must install ON/OFF Safety Valve/Pilot Kit (see Accessories, page 13). Call dealer where you bought log set.
If the fireplace does not have a gas supply shutoff valve, one must be installed.
VENTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR INSTALLATION
The fireplace chimney flue and vent must be draft- ing properly. To check the 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 spills out into the room, extinguish the flame and remove any obstruction until proper venting is achieved.
The chimney flue must remain open a minimum of 3" at all times during the operation of this log set.
