INSTALLATION

Continued

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 18, page 10. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater. Lo- cate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may not run properly.
