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 pres-
sure, appliance regulator damage could occur. Install external
regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 11.
Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
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" diameter or
greater to allow proper gas volume to appli-
ance. 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 appli-
ance (see Figure 12, Page 9).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an acces-
sible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on
or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special requirements for
locating equipment shutoff valve to replaces.
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 appliance valves.
WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is
resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply
line as shown in Figure 12. Locate sediment trap where it is
within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel

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 transmitter. Once the
module's internal receiver accepts the transmitter code,
there will be a series of conrming 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
WARNING: Turn off appliance and let cool
before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas,
burners and circulating air passageways of ap-
pliance clean. Inspect these areas of appliance
before each use. Have appliance inspected
yearly by a qualied service person.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air
opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result
in sooting and property damage.
BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AIR INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to
mix with the gas. This provides a clean burning ame. 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 appliance inspected yearly
by a qualied service person.
We also recommend that you keep the burner tube 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 damage the pilot assembly.
1. Shut off unit. Allow unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, and primary air inlet holes on injector holder
for dust and dirt (see Figure 31).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.
4. Check injector holder located at end of 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. Additional cleaning
may be needed for proper operation based on use/lack of
use.

LOGS
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Installing Logs and
Volcanic Stone, Page 10, to properly replace logs.
• Replace log(s) if broken or chipped (dime-sized or larger).
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner ame holes with appliance running.
All slotted burner ame holes should be open with ame present.
All round burner ame holes should be open with a small blue
ame present. Some burner ame holes may become blocked
by debris or rust, with no ame present. If so, turn off appliance
and let cool. Remove blockage, blocked burner ame holes will
create soot.
WARNING: The injector holders (air shut-
ters) are not adjustable. Do not move injector
holders from their original positions.
