PRODUCT FEATURES
OPERATION
This heater is clean burning. It requires no outside venting. There is
no heat loss out a vent or up a chimney. Heat is generated by realistic
dancing, yellow flames. This heater is designed for vent-free opera-
tion with flue damper closed. It has been tested and approved to the
ANSI Z21.11.2 standard for unvented heaters. This heater may also
be operated as a vented decorative (ANSI Z21.60) product by opening
flue damper (non-thermostat models only).
SAFETY PILOT
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS)
safety shutoff system. The ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-
free room heaters. The ODS/pilot shuts off the heater if there is not
enough fresh air.
PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM
This heater has a piezo Igniter. This system requires no matches,
batteries or other sources to light heater.
REMOTE CONTROL ACCESSORIES
There are 2 optional remote controls that can be purchased separately
for this log heater:
• hand-held ON/OFF remote
• hand-held thermostat remote
See Accessories, page 24.
The hand-held thermostat may not be used where vented decorative
listing is required.
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials,
increased insulation and new construction methods help reduce heat loss
in homes. Homeowners apply weather strip and caulk around windows and
doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months,
homeowners want their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your home needs
to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances
need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, some fireplaces, clothes dryers and some fuel-burning ap-
pliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate
fresh air for these appliances. That will ensure proper venting of vented
fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation
classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 5-7 will help you classify your space and
provide adequate ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough
fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of
unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a
continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x
10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed
and
b. weather stripping has been added on openable windows and
doors and
c. caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around
window and door frames, between sole plates and floors, be-
tween wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations
for plumbing, electrical and gas lines and at other openings.
If your home meets all three criteria above, you must provide ad-
ditional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 7.
If your home does not meet all three criteria above, proceed to De-
termining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location.
Confined Space and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 allows two meth-
ods for determining whether the space in which the heater is being
installed is confined or unconfined space. The standard method
defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 m3per kw) of the aggregate input
rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space
as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000
Btu/hr (4.8 m3per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances
installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space
in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished
with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.
Where the air infiltration rate of a structure is known, the Known Air
Infiltration Rate Method may be used. Follow The National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 to use this method to determine if the
space is confined or unconfined.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless
passageways or ventilation grills between them.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a
room or space unless the required volume of indoor
combustion air is provided by the method described
in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local
codes.Read thefollowing instructionsto ensureproper
fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in
your home.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space Using
the Standard Method
Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confined or uncon-
fined space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any
adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills
between the rooms.
1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).
Length x Width x Height =__________cu. ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling
height) = 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills
or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume
of the space.
2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine the maximum Btu/Hr
the space can support.
_______ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maximum Btu/Hr the space
can support)
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 = 51,200 (maximum
Btu/Hr the space can support)
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel-burning appliances in the space.
Vent-free fireplace ________Btu/Hr
Gas water heater* ________Btu/Hr
Gas furnace ________Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater ________Btu/Hr
Gas fireplace logs ________Btu/Hr
Other gas appliances* + ____Btu/Hr
Total =_______Btu/Hr
* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws
combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.
Example:
Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/Hr
Vent-free fireplace + 39,000 Btu/Hr
Total = 79,000 Btu/Hr
4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the
actual amount of Btu/Hr used.
______ Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
______ Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
Example:51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
79,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
The space in the above example is a confined space because the actual
Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the
extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoin-
ing room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation
Air From Inside Building, page 6.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From
Outdoors, page 7.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr fireplace, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room
unconfined.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space
can support, the space is an unconfined space. You will need no
additional fresh air ventilation.
VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation Air From Inside Building
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When
ventilating to an adjoining unconfined space, you must provide two
permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12"
of the floor on the

can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 2).
Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Com-
bustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must
provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and
one within 12" of the floor. Connect these items directly to the out-
doors or spaces open to the outdoors. These spaces include attics
and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT:Do not provide openings for inlet or outlet air into attic
if attic has a thermostat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering
the attic will activate the power vent.

INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR VENTED OPERA-
TION
NOTE: When used as a vented heater, appliance must be installed only
in a solid-fuel-burning fireplace with a working flue and constructed
of noncombustible material.
If you choose to use your heater as a manually-controlled model (no
remote control installed), you may use this heater as a vented product.
There are three reasons for operating your heater in the vented mode.
1. Fireplace does not meet the clearance to combustibles require-
ments for vent-free operation.
2. State or local codes do not permit vent-free operation.
3. You prefer vented operation.
If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply to you, you must permanently
open chimney flue damper. You must install the damper clamp ac-
cessory (to order, see Accessories, page 24). This will ensure vented
operation (see Figure 10). The damper clamp will keep damper open.
Installation instructions are included with clamp accessory.
See chart below for minimum permanent flue opening you must pro-
vide. Attach damper clamp so the minimum permanent flue opening
will be maintained at all times.

8. Remove heater base from fireplace.
9. Drill holes at marked locations using 3/16" masonry drill bit.
10. Attach base assembly to fireplace floor using two masonry screws
(in hardware package) (see Figure 12).
11.Connect to gas supply. See Connecting To Gas Supply.
IMPORTANT: Hold gas fitting with wrench when connecting flex-
ible gas hose.
WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8" NPT
(National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pres-
sure regulator.
CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP appliance
directly to the propane/LP supply. This heater re-
quires an external regulator (not supplied). Install
the external regulator between the heater and pro-
pane/LP supply.
WARNING: Never connect natural gas appli-
ance to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas
is commonly known as wellhead gas.
WARNING: A qualified service person must con-
nect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

ComfortFlame.US.com 900556-00 NC12

Installation Items Needed
Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below.
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
* equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alter-
native to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA design-
certified 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, heater regulator damage
could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as
shown in Figure 13. 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 heater. If pipe is too small, undue loss
of volume will occur.
IMPORTANT:Install equipment shutoff valve in an ac-
cessible 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 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 heater valves.
WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant thatis resistant
to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as
shown in Figure 14. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach
for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater.
Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze.
A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them
from going into heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or
is installed wrong, heater may not run properly.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas
regulator with wrench when connecting it to gas
piping and/or fittings.
* Purchase the optional equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.
** Minimum inlet pressure for purpose of input adjustment.

INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 28 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 29, shows an
incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not prop-
erly heating the thermocouple. When the thermocouple cools, the
heater will shut down. If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 29.
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 17)
• see Troubleshooting, page 20.
NOTE: The pilot flame on natural gas units will have a slight curve,
but the flame should be blue and have no yellow or orange color.

LOGS
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Installing Logs,page 14,
to properly replace logs.
• Replace log(s) if broken or chipped (dime-sized or larger).
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with heater running. All
slotted burner flame holes should be open with yellow flame present.
All round burner flame holes should be open with a small blue flame
present. Some burner flame holes may become blocked by debris or
rust, with no flame present. If so, turn off heater and let cool. Remove
blockage. Blocked burner flame holes will create soot.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
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
heater 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, hard-
ware 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, including pilot. Allow unit to cool for at least thirty
minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet holes on injector holder
for dust and dirt (see Figure 30 on page 18).
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 burner repeat
steps 3 and 4.
Clean pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on pilot flame indicates dust
and dirt in the pilot assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole
about 2" from where the pilot flame comes out of the pilot assembly
(see Figure 38). With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air
inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed
air is not available.
