CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the fireplace unit you are installing. If you have
conflicting gas types, do not install fireplace. See retailer where you
purchased the fireplace for proper fireplace according to your gas type.
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION
Installation Items Needed
Before installing fireplace, make sure you have the items listed below.
• external regulator for propane/LP unit only (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap (optional)
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local
codes) (not provided)
* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable al-
ternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional equipment
shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external regulator.
The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. 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 external regulator with the vent pointing down as
shown in Figure 8, Page 9. Pointing the vent down protects it from
freezing rain or sleet.
WARNING: Never connect this appliance to private
(non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known
as wellhead gas and does not have odorants and may
have impurities, and variations in BTU content. The
use of well-head gas will void the manufacturer’s
warranty to this appliance.
When an appliance is for connection to a fixed piping
system, the installationmust conform with localcodes,
or in the absence of local codes with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 • NFPA 54; National Fuel Gas
Code; Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1; or Propane Storage and Handling Code, CSA

CONNECTING FIREPLACE TO GAS SUPPLY
Installation Items Needed
• 5/16" hex socket wrench or nut-driver
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not provided)
1. Route flexible gas line (provided by installer) from equipment
shutoff valve to fireplace. Route flexible gas supply line through
one of the access holes on side of fireplace.
2. Attach flexible gas line from gas supply to control valve (see Figure
10).
3. Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Connec-
tions, Page 10.
WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant
to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating
equipment shutoff valve to fireplaces.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent
excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could
result in clogged fireplace valves. Never use sealant on flare threads.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as
shown in Figure 9. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe.
Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain
areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diam-
eter or greater to allow proper gas volume to fireplace.
If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union and
plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook
up. NPT tap must be upstream from fireplace (see Figure 8, Page 9).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location.
The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas
to the appliance.
cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and fireplace.
Locate 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.

GAS CONTROL MODULE SYSTEM
REMOTE CONTROL FEATURE
The module has a built in remote control receiver that allows the
user to program the remote transmitter at any time during or after
the installation of the burner.
1. There is a switch located on the right side of the module that
reads REMOTE/OFF (Figure 26).
2. When the remote/off switch is in the OFF position, the burner
will operate from the rocker switch or wall switch connected to
the two BROWN wires on the module.
3. When the remote/off is in the REMOTE position the burner will
operate from the Remote Control Transmitter.
NOTE: The module must be programmed to the Remote Control
Transmitter.
• To program the module (make sure the system has power),
locate the learn button (Figure 27)on the module. Locate the
metal shield that is covering the module and remove the screw
on top. Use a small thin object like a paper clip (not sharp points)
to press and release the learn button. There will be a beep sound
from the module. Then press any button on the remote transmit-
ter. Once the module's internal receiver accepts the transmitter
code, there will be a series of confirming beeps.
• The remote system is ready for use.
• Pushing and holding the LEARN button for 6 seconds will result
in clearing the transmitter security code from the module's
memory. The module will make three long beeps in succession
when it has been cleared.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
INSPECTING BURNERS
Figure 30 - Injector Holder On Outlet Burner Tube
Burner Ports/Slots
Venturi
Air Shutter
WARNING: Turn off fireplace and let cool before
cleaning.
WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your fireplace
could produce increased levels of carbon monoxide.
NOTICE: Do not mistake orange flames with yellow
tipping. Dirt or other fine particles enter the fireplace
and burn causing brief patches of orange flame.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner
and circulating air passageways of fireplace clean.
Inspect these areas of fireplace before each use. Have
fireplaceinspected yearlybya qualifiedserviceperson.
BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with
the gas. This provides a clean burning flame. Keep these holes clear
of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air inlet holes prior to each
heating season. Blocked air holes will create soot. We recommend
that you clean the unit every three months during operation and have
fireplace inspected yearly by a qualified service person.
We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot assembly
clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend
using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local computer
store, hardware store or home center may carry compressed air in
a can. If using compressed air in a can, please follow the directions
on the can. If you don’t follow directions on the can, you could dam-
age the igniter.
1. Shut off the unit. Allow the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, air shutter and orifice for dust and dirt (see Figure
30).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.
4. Check the orifice located at the end of the burner tube again. Remove
any large particles of dust, dirt, lint or pet hair with a soft cloth or
vacuum cleaner nozzle.
5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector holder.
6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed into the
burner repeat steps 3 and 4 above.
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Burner flames will be steady, not lifting or floating. Flame patterns will
be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on installation
type and weather conditions. This can be dangerous. Inspect flames
after installation to ensure proper installation and performance.
If burner flame pattern differs from that described:
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, Page 15)
• see Troubleshooting, Page 18
REPLACING LIGHT BULB
Light assembly is located underneath the burner assembly (see Page
25 for reference).
1. Unplug power supply.
2. Remove access door (Figure 22, Page 13).
3. Remove glass panel if installed (Figure 25a, Page 14).
4. Remove rear interior panels (Figure 19, Page 12).
5. Remove glass Pebbles (Figure 25, Page 13).
6. Remove six screws holding the pebble pan (see item #17 on
Page 23 for reference).
7. Using a small slotted screw driver, carefully slide it under the
edge of light bulb cover and pry it open. Pull burned out bulb
and replace.
8. Replace all in reverse order.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air
opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in soot-
ing and property damage.
Perform a periodic visual check of pilot and burner
flame.
BURNER PRIMARY AIR HOLES
Air is drawn into the burner through the holes in the fitting at the
burner entrance. These holes may become blocked with dust or lint.
Periodically inspect these holes for any blockage and clean if needed.
Blocked air holes will create soot.
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with the fireplace running.
Some burner flame holes may become blocked by debris or rust, with
no flame present. If so, turn off fireplace and let cool. Remove blockage.
Blocked burner flame holes will create soot.
The burner must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into
operation if it is evident that the burner is damaged (use only factory
original replacement burner).
