7.Check to make sure that power cord is completely clear of blower wheel and that there are no foreign objects in blower wheel. Also double check all wire leads and make sure wire routing is not pinched or in a precarious position. Correct ac- cordingly.

8.Turn on power to duplex outlet if previ- ously turned off per warning in column 1, page 19.

9.Plug in blower power cord to duplex outlet.

10.Blower will only run when speed control knob is in the ON position and thermal switch senses temperature after fireplace begins to heat up. Blower speed can be adjusted by rotating control knob. To turn off, turn knob fully counterclockwise until it clicks off. If blower is ON and has been running with fireplace operating, blower will continue to run for a short time after fireplace has been turned off. As thermal switch cools down, blower shuts down automatically.

11.Peel off backing paper and stick supplied wiring diagram decal on firebox bottom approximately 12" in front of blower (see Figure 28, page 20).

Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Location

WARNING: A qualified service person must connect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: For propane/LP units,neverconnectfireplacedirectly to the propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the fireplace and propane/LP supply.

WARNING: Never connect natural gas fireplace to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

Installation Items Needed

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

•external regulator (supplied by installer)

•piping (check local codes)

•sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

•equipment shutoff valve *

•test gauge connection *

•sediment trap

•tee joint

•pipe wrench

•approved flexible gas line with gas connec- tor (if allowed by local codes)

*A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable al- ternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your retailer.

For propane/LP connection only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The exter- nal regulator will reduce incoming gas pres- sure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, fireplace regulator damage could occur. Install exter- nal regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 31, page 22. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
