(non-utility) gas wells. This
gas is commonly known as
wellhead gas.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing replace, 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 exible gas line with gas connec-
tor (if allowed by local codes) (not provided)
* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT
tap is an acceptable alternative 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 exter-
nal regulator with the vent pointing down as
shown in Figure 8. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Inter-
nally-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 replace.
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 replace
(see Figure 8).
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.
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 replace valves. Never use
sealant on are threads.
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 9, page
10. Locate sediment trap where it is within
reach for cleaning. Install in piping system
between fuel supply and replace. Locate
sediment trap where trapped matter is not
likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture
and contaminants. This keeps them from go-
ing into replace gas controls. If sediment trap
is not installed or is installed wrong, replace
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 RE-
MOTE/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 but-
ton (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 but-
ton 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.

OPERATION
FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not fol-
low these instructions exactly,
a re or explosion may result
causing property damage, per-
sonal injury or loss of life.
A. This appliance does not have a pilot,
it is equipped with an ignition device
which automatically lights the pilot. Do
not light pilot by hand.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around
the appliance area for gas. Be sure to
smell next to the oor because some
gas is heavier than air and will settle
on the oor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do
not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the
gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier,
call the re department.
C. Do not use this appliance if any part has
been under water. Immediately call a
qualied service technician to inspect
the appliance and to replace any part of
the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off replace
and let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep
control areas, burner and cir-
culating air passageways of
replace clean. Inspect these
areas of replace before each
use. Have replace 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 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 ame. Keep these holes clear
of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air in-
let 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 replace inspected yearly
by a qualied 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 ignitor.
1. Shut off the unit. Allow the unit to cool for
at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, air shutter and orice for
dust and dirt (see Figure 30).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes
in the burner.
4. Check the orice 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.

INSPECTING BURNERS
REPLACING LIGHT BULB
BURNER PRIMARY AIR HOLES
Air is drawn into the burner through the holes
in the tting at the burner entrance. These
holes may become blocked with dust or lint.
Periodically inspect these holes for any block-
age and clean if needed. Blocked air holes
will create soot.
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner ame holes with
the replace running. Some burner ame holes
may become blocked by debris or rust, with no
ame present. If so, turn off replace and let
cool. Remove blockage. Blocked burner ame
holes will create soot.
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
WARNING: If yellow tipping
occurs, your replace could
produce increased levels of
carbon monoxide.
NOTICE: Do not mistake orange
ames with yellow tipping. Dirt
or other ne particles enter the
replace and burn causing brief
patches of orange ame.
Burner ames will be steady, not lifting or
oating. Flame patterns will be different from
unit to unit and will vary depending on instal-
lation type and weather conditions. This can
be dangerous. Inspect ames after installation
to ensure proper installation and performance.
If burner ame pattern differs from that de-
scribed:
• turn replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance, page 17)
• see Troubleshooting, page 21
Light assembly is located underneath the
burner assembly (see page 24 for reference).
1. Unplug power supply.
2. Remove access door (Figure 22, page
14).
3. Remove glass panel if installed (Figure
25, page 15).
4. Remove rear interior panels (Figure 19,
page 13).
5. Remove glass Pebbles.
6. Remove six screws holding the pebble
pan (see item #17 on page 26 for refer-
ence).
7. Using a small slotted screw driver, care-
fully 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.
