IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

29209-0-0911Page 4
Somepeoplecannotsmellwell.Somepeoplecannotsmellthe
odorofthechemicalputintothegas.Youmustndoutifyou
cansmelltheodorantinpropane. Smoking can decrease your
ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your
sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors in
the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor
or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a
gas odor can make it easier to smell.
TheodorantinLP-Gasiscolorless,anditcanfadeundersome
circumstances. For example, if there is an underground leak, the
movement of the gas through soil can lter the odorant. Odorants
in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can occur if
there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into walls,
masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take
some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.
LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could
vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be
more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas
odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately
go into action as instructed earlier.
Propane(LP-Gas)isaammablegaswhichcancauseres
andexplosions.Initsnaturalstate,propaneisodorlessand
colorless.Youmaynotknowallthefollowingsafetyprecau-
tionswhichcanprotectbothyouandyourfamilyfroman
accident.Readthemcarefullynow,thenreviewthempoint
by point with the members of your household. Someday
whentheremaynotbeaminutetolose,everyone’ssafety
willdependonknowingexactly whattodo.If,afterread-
ingthefollowinginformation,youfeelyoustillneedmore
information,pleasecontactyourgassupplier.
• LearntorecognizetheodorofLP-Gas. Your local LP-Gas
Dealer can give you a “Scratch and Sniff” pamphlet. Use it to
nd out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect that
your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your LP-Gas
Dealer.
• If you are not qualied, do not light pilot lights, perform service,
or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas system. If
you are qualied, consciously think about the odor of LP-Gas
prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service or
making adjustments.
• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty
smell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light
pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an area
where the conditions are such that you may not detect the odor
if there has been a leak of LP-Gas.
• Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of
new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people should
be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders
are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new tanks, or
reinstalled old tanks, if they are lled and allowed to set too
long before relling. Cylinders and tanks which have been out
of service for a time may develop internal rust which will cause
odor fade. If such conditions are suspected to exist, a periodic
sniff test of the gas is advisable. Ifyouhaveanyquestion
about the gas odor, call your LP-Gas dealer. A periodic
snifftestoftheLP-Gasisagoodsafetymeasureunder
anycondition.
• If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you
think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the same
immediate action recommended above for the occasion when
you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.
• If you experience a complete “gas out,” (the container is under
no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately. If the
container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air
through openings such as pilot light orices. If this occurs, some
new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is left open, then
treat the container as a new tank. Always be sure your con-
tainer is under vapor pressure by turning it off at the container
before it goes completely empty or having it relled before it is
completely empty.
• Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone.
Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
• Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do
that IMMEDIATELY.
• Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
• LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such as
basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak, keep
out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until reghters
declare them to be safe.
• Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained LP-Gas service
person and the re department. Even though you may not
continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not
re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
• Finally, let the service man and reghters check for escaped
gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly
trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then
check and relight the gas appliance for you.
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
LP-GAS WARNING ODOR
Ifagasleakhappens,youshouldbeabletosmellthegasbecauseoftheodorantputintheLP-Gas.
That’syoursignaltogointoimmediateaction!

The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right or left side of
the appliance. The insert has a Flexline with shutoff valve located on
the right side when facing the unit. SeeFigures5and6. Consult
the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 CAN/CGA-B149
(.1 or .2) installation code.
InstallingtheMainGasCock
Each appliance should have its own manual gas cock.
A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of the unit.
Where none exists, or where its size or location is not adequate,
contact your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant
to the action of liqueed petroleum gases. The gas lines must be
checked for leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap
solution watching for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if
unexposed, a pressure test should be made.
Neveruseanexposedametocheckforleaks.Appliancemust
bedisconnectedfrompipingatinletofcontrolvalveandpipe
cappedorpluggedforpressuretest.Neverpressuretestwith
applianceconnected;controlvalvewillsustaindamage!
NOTICE: The millivolt gas controls are equipped with a captured
screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to
provide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or ex connector use only approved ttings.
The appliance and it’s individual shut off valve must be disconnected
from supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
Attention! If one of the procedures results in pressures in excess of
1/2 psig (14" w.c.) (3.5 kPa) on the replace gas valve, it will result
in a hazardous condition.
CheckingManifoldPressures
Both Propane and Natural gas valves have a built-in pressure
regulator in the gas valve. Natural gas models will have a manifold
pressure of approximately 3.5" w.c. (.871kPa) at the valve outlet
with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 4.5" w.c.
(1.120kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of
14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa). Propane gas models will have a manifold
pressure approximately 10.0" w.c. (2.49kPa) at the valve outlet
with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 10.8" w.c.
(2.68kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of
14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa).

VENTING AND INSTALLATION
1. To begin, remove the glass door from the unit. Note: The glass
door assembly is secured to the rebox with two (2) spring
clamps at the top of the door, and two (2) spring clamps at
the bottom of the door. Check to make sure there is no hidden
damage to the unit. Take a minute and plan out the gas, vent-
ing and electrical route. It is best to start with the gas line rst,
followed by the chimney liner and electrical supply require-
ments.
2. Minimum replace opening requirements are shown in
Figure 2 of this installation manual. The rebrick (refractory),
glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates can be
removed from a factory built replace in order to gain mini-
mum gas insert opening requirements prior to installing the
gas replace insert.
3. This insert requires no hearth extensions. Combustible ma-
terial on the oor may be installed up to the insert. Do not
obstruct the lower louver of the insert. The original replace
cannot be returned to solid fuel in this condition.
4. The metal oor of the solid fuel rebox may be removed to
facilitate the installation of the insert. CLEARANCE TO COM-
BUSTIBLE MATERIAL UNDER THE INSERT IS 1/4”. YOU
MUST USE THE LEVELING LEGS TO RAISE THE INSERT
A MINIMUM OF 1/4” IF THE INSERT IS TO SIT ON COM-
BUSTIBLE MATERIAL. The side walls and top structure of the
rebox may not be altered with the exception of removable
bafes and dampers. Smoke shields, shelves and bafes may
be removed if attached with mechanical fasteners. The origi-
nal replace cannot be returned to solid fuel in this condition.
5. The original specied clearances of a factory-built re-
place must be maintained, with the exception of the hearth.
Clearances on a masonry replace must be maintained
at 12” from the opening for combustible projections over
1 1/2”. Clearances for combustible projections under
1 1/2” must be maintained at 6” from the opening per NFPA211.
Plan the surround size accordingly. A surround must be used
with the insert.
WARNING
Under no circumstance can combustible material be placed
behind the surround.
6. The insert surround is tested and approved with this gas in-
sert and may cover existing air circulation vents or grills on the
solid fuel replace it is installed into. If the surround does not
cover the entire ventilation grill surface, the exposed grill area
should be left open.

7. To assure top performance, safety and efciency, inserts must
be installed with an approved ue liner as per CAN/CGA B-149
or National Fuel Code ANSI Z223 and these instructions.

8. The solid fuel replace’s ue damper must be fully locked in
the open position or removed for installation of the gas re-
place insert.
9. The replace and replace chimney must be cleaned and in
good working order and constructed of noncombustible mate-
rials.
10. Make sure that all chimney cleanouts t properly so air cannot
leak into the chimney.
11. Install the insert without the surround panels attached and
make all gas, venting, and electrical connections.
12. To complete the installation reinstall the glass door assembly,
then install the surround panel assembly. Please refer to in-
structions included with the surround panel kit.
