PREINSTALLATION

Check that all listed parts have been received.

Carefully inspect the heater case and contents for shipping damage and immediately inform the dealer from whom you purchased the gas fireplace if any damage is found.

The appliance is shipped with all gas controls and components installed and pre-wired. Re- move the shipping carton, exposing the op- tional (if installed) front glass door frame. Re- move wood slats and remove and discard the wood slat mount brackets. Loosen and remove the three (3) ¹⁄₄"-20 x 1" Phillips pan head screws at the three (3) tabs located along the door frame top edge. Tilt the glass door frame assembly outward and disengage the three (3) tabs along the bottom of the door from the three

(3)brackets at the bottom of the firebox open- ing. Remove the door and set the panel aside protecting it from inadvertent damage. Retain the three (3) screws for use on reassembly.

Check Gas Type

This appliance can only be connected to the gas type specified on the appliance data plate. This appliance can not be modified in the field for a different gas type. If the gas type to be used is not the one specified contact the dealer to obtain the correct gas appliance.

Note: Illustrations shown in this manual reflect “typical” installations with nominal dimensions and are for design and framing reference only. Actual installations may vary due to individual design preferences. However, always maintain minimum clearances to combustible materials and do not violate any specific installation re- quirements.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATION NOT TO SCALE.

Note: The following steps represent the normal sequence of installation. Each installation is unique, however, and might require a different sequence.

CAUTION: HEATERS CREATE WARM AIR CUR- RENTS. THESE CURRENTS MOVE HEAT TO WALL SURFACES NEXT TO HEATER. INSTALL- ING HEATER NEXT TO VINYL OR CLOTH WALL COVERINGS OR OPERATING HEATER WHERE IMPURITIES IN THE AIR (SUCH AS TOBACCO SMOKE) EXISTS, MAY DISCOLOR WALLS.

Step 1. Position heater in desired location (onto surround base or into prepared framing) and secure.

Step 2. Plumb gas line. (Gas connections should only be performed by an experienced, licensed/ certified tradesman.)

Step 3. Assemble logs and test flame appear- ance.

Step 4. Complete finish wall material, surround and optional hearth extension to your individual taste.

INSTALLATION STEPS

WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FANS TO BLOW DIRECTLY INTO THE FIREPLACE. AVOID ANY DRAFTS THAT ALTER BURNER FLAME PATTERNS.

WARNING: DO NOT USE A BLOWER IN- SERT, HEAT EXCHANGER INSERT OR OTHER ACCESSORY NOT APPROVED FOR USE WITH THIS HEATER.

This appliance must not be operated without a front glass panel installed.

Do not burn solid fuels in this listed unvented gas room heater.

Step 1. Frame CF5500 appliance enclosures as illustrated in Figures 4, 5 and 6. Frame CF6500 appliance enclousures as illustrated in Figures 7, 8 and 9.

Note: The framed depth (15 ¹⁄₂" for a flat wall, 29 ³⁄₄" for a corner CF5500 and 19 ¹⁄₂" and 33 ⁷⁄₈" for a CF6500) must always be measured from a finished surface. If a wall covering such as drywall is to be attached to the rear wall, then the dimension must be measured from the drywall surface.
