SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP-GAS
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precautions
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readingthefollowinginformation,
youfeelyoustillneedmoreinformation,pleasecontactyour
gas supplier.
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!
• 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.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
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.
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
• 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. Aperiodic
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.

ProperLogPlacement
Log placement is critical to proper burner performance. Logs must
be correctly positioned onto the burner. The photos in this manual
show the proper pinned position for logs on this set. Owners need
to be shown proper log placement and instructed not to move the
logs.
Logs must t rmly onto the burner when positioned as shown in
the photos. Malformed logs or logs with sloppy pin holes must be
replaced.
ProperPlacementofRockWoolandDecorativeLavaRock
Rock wool can be added to burners for a glowing ember effect.
It must be positioned only on the front portion of the burner. The
photos in this manual show the proper placement of rock wool.
Decorative lava rock or small wood pieces should never be placed
on the burner. These items are only for placement on the oor of
the replace or rebox.
ProperPrimaryAirowintoBurner
For proper burner operation and ame appearance, the ow of
primary air into the venturi tube, located on the rear of the burner,
must not be reduced. This ow of air is reduced if dirt, lint or other
obstructions build-up around or inside the venturi. Any obstruction
in the venturi tube area must be removed. The ow of air into the
venturi is also reduced if the gas orice isn’t centered in the venturi
inlet and/or is not aligned with the venturi. Any misalignment of the
burner orice may be corrected by bending the shutter cap holding
the orice to the inlet of the venturi tube.
CeilingFans,PortableFansorLogsInstalled Near ColdAir
Returns
Ceiling fans or oscillating oor type fans need to be monitored
during the operation of vent-free logs. If the air blows directly
into the ame causing it to impinge on the log set, or rebox, it
should be turned off or redirected. Ceiling fans could be reversed
to possibly eliminate ame impingement, and the oor fan could
be redirected. Upon installation, be aware of any cold air returns
or vents in the proximity of the log set. Any draft created around
a vent-free log set can cause the ame to impinge on the log and
create a sooting situation.
WARNING: Do not allow fans to blow directly into the replace.
Avoid any drafts that alter burner ame patterns.
WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or
other accessory not approved for use with this heater.
Candles
Avoid the use of scented or decorative candles while the log set is
in operation. Candles produce a residue in the air that creates a
soot like substance. Burning candles while the log set is operating
magnies the problem. It should be noted that candles, in general,
produce soot. The amount of time burned and the quantity of
candles burned will determine the amount of soot produced and
deposited.
MakeOwnersAwareofProperLogSetOperation
Properly installed and properly maintained log sets do not deposit
soot on the logs. If users see soot appear on a log, call for service.
Do not continue to operate the log set.

750MillivoltSystem
When you ignite the pilot, the thermocouple produces millivolts
(electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve.
After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas
control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow your pilot ame to
operate an additional one (1) to two (2) minutes before you turn the
gas control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This
time period allows the millivolts (electrical energy) to build-up to a
sufcient level allowing the gas control to operate properly.

INSTALLATION IN A FIREPLACE
1. Before beginning, remove door and log package from
unit. Also check to make sure there is no hidden dam-
age to the unit. Take a minute and plan out the gas and
electrical route. It is best to start with the gas line rst,
followed by the electrical supply requirements.
2. Minimum replace opening requirements are shown in
Figure 2 of this installation manual. The rebrick (re-
fractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and
log grates can be removed from a factory built replace
in order to gain minimum gas insert opening require-
ments prior to installing the gas replace insert.
3. This insert requires no hearth extensions. Combustible
material on the oor may be installed up to the insert.
Do not obstruct the lower louver of the insert. The origi-
nal replace cannot be returned to solid fuel in this con-
dition.
4. The metal oor of the solid fuel rebox may be removed
to facilitate the installation of the insert. 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 original re-
place cannot be returned to solid fuel in this condition.
5. The insert surround is tested and approved with this
gas insert 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.

Positioning, Leveling and Securing Insert
1. Place the insert into position
Note: The front anges of the insert (without surround
panels) should be set at approximately 1" in front of
the face of the replace.
2. Level the insert from side to side and front to back.
3. If necessary, use the leveling bolts included in the instruc-
tionpack.Screwthelegsintothenutsinstalledinthebottom
of the insert. Turn legs in until insert is level.
Note: The best way to access the leveling bolt locations
is to remove the burner and rebox bottom.

not intended to be used for framing dimensions.
*Notice: Front Width B is the minimum and front opening dimen-
sion required to ensure proper securing of the unit.

29829-14-1114Page 10
In planning the installation for the replace, it is necessary
to determine where the unit is to be installed and whether
optional accessories are desired. Gas supply piping should
also be planned at this time.
The replace can be mounted on any of these surfaces:
1. A at hard combustible or non-combustible surface.
2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible
material.
3. Four (4) corners of the replace so contact is made on
all four perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
(Example: Four (4) concrete masonry blocks.)
If the replace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood ooring, it should be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the unit.
At this point, you should have decided what components
to include in your installation, and where the replace is to
be located. If this has not been done, stop and consult your
dealer for assistance with this planning.
BUILT-IN FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
This unit is designed to be installed in a zero-clearance en-
closure. This means the combustible material can come in
contact with the rebox.
Built-In Fireplace Installation
Built-in installation of this replace involves installing the
replace into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of
the replace ush with a wall. If installing a mantel above the
replace, you must follow the clearances shown in Figures
10 through 12. Follow the instructions below to install the
replace in this manner.
Frame in rough opening. Use dimensions show in Figure 3
for a conventional rough opening. Use dimensions shown in
Figure 4 for corner rough opening. Be sure to provide gas
line for replace and electrical power for optional blower as-
sembly.
1. Gas line connections must be made at this time. When
facing the appliance, the gas supply will enter on the
right-hand side. See "Gas Supply" pages 15 to 16.
2. Insert replace into enclosure.
3. Level rebox. See "Positioning, Leveling and Securing
Insert" on Page 8.
4. Finished wall surface will be ush to the leading edge of
replace top and sides.
5. If used, the surround panel assembly is installed after
the replace has been installed with all the gas and
electrical connection completed. See Page 22. Refer to
instructions included with the surround panel kit.
6. Installation of built-in replace is completed.

Water vapor is a by-product of gas combustion. An unvented room
heater produces approximately one (1) ounce (30ml) of water for
every 1,000 BTU's (.3KW's) of gas input per hour.
Unvented room heaters are recommended as supplemental heat (a
room) rather than a primary heat source (an entire house). In most
supplemental heat applications, the water vapor does not create a
problem. In most applications, the water vapor enhances the low
humidity atmosphere experienced during cold weather.
The following steps will help insure that water vapor does not
become a problem.
1. Be sure the heater is sized properly for the application, including
ample combustion air and circulation air.
2. If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidier may be used to
help lower the water vapor content of the air.
3. Do not use an unvented room heater as the primary heat
source.
This heater shall not be installed in a conned space or unusually
tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
A conned space is an area with volume less than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 Btuh of the combined input rates of all appliances drawing
combustion air from that space. Small areas such as equipment
rooms are conned spaces. Furnaces installed in a conned space
which supply heated air to areas outside the space must draw return
air from outside the space through tightly sealed return air ducts. A
conned space must have 2 openings into the space for combus-
tion air. One opening must be within 12 inches of the ceiling and
the other must be within 12 inches of the oor. The required sizing
of these openings is determined by whether inside or outside air is
used to support combustion, the method by which the air is brought
to the space (vertical or horizontal duct) and by the total input rate
of all appliances in the space.
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 dened as construction
where:
a. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have
a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm
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
oors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at
penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at
other openings.
If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must provide
additional fresh air. See “VentilationAirFromOutdoors,” page
14.
DeterminingifYouHaveaConnedorUnconnedSpace
Use this worksheet to determine if you have a conned or unconned
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 16 ft. (length) x 10 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling
height) = 1,280 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. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the
maximum BTU/Hr the space can support.
(volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = (maximum
BTU/Hr the space can support)
Example: 1,280 cu. ft. (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = 25.6 or
25,600 (maximum BTU/Hr the space can support)
3. Add the BTU/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.
Vent-free heater BTU/Hr
Gas water heater BTU/Hr
Gas furnace BTU/Hr
Vented gas heater BTU/Hr
Gas replace logs BTU/Hr
Other gas appliances*+ BTU/Hr
Total = BTU/Hr
Example: Vented gas heater 20,000 BTU/Hr
Vent-free heater + 18,000 BTU/Hr
Total = 38,000 BTU/Hr
*Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct vent draws
combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.
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:
25,600 BTU/Hr (maximum the space can support)
38,000 BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used)
Warning: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller
than that dened as an unconned space or if the building is of
unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and
ventilation air by one of the methods described in the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, or applicable local codes.
WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
PROVISIONS FOR ADEQUATE COMBUSTION & VENTILATION AIR

29829-14-1114Page 14
The space in the above example is a conned 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 unconned space, remove door
to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See
VentilationAirFromInsideBuilding.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See VentilationAirFrom
Outdoors.
C. Install a lower BTU/Hr heater, if lower BTU/Hr size makes room
unconned.
If the actual BTU/Hr used is less than the maximum BTU/Hr the
space can support, the space is an unconned space. You will need
no additional fresh air ventilation.

Ventilation Air
VentilationAirFromInsideBuilding(Figure5)
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconned space. When
ventilating to an adjoining unconned space, you must provide two
permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within
12" of the oor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options
1 and 2, Figure 5). You can also remove door into adjoining room
(see option 3, Figure 5). Each ventilation grill or opening shall have
a minimum free area of one square inch per 1,000 BTUH of the total
input rating of the gas equipment in the conned space.

VentilationAirFromOutdoors(Figure6)
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must
provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and
one with 12" of the oor. Connect these items directly to the outdoors
or spaces open to the outdoors. These spaces include attics and
crawl spaces. In most cases for direct communication with the
outdoors or direct communication through a vertical duct a free
area opening of one square inch per 4,000 BTU/Hr of heater input
rating for each grill. If a horizontal duct is used, a grill free area or
duct opening shall have a free area opening of one square inch per
2,000 BTU/Hr for each grill. Follow the National Fuel Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA54, 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.

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 8 and 9. 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!
NOTE: 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.
Note: Never use plastic pipe. Check to conrm whether your
local codes allow copper tubing or galvanized.
Note: Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is
always best to consult your local authority and installation code.
The use of the following gas connectors is recommended:
— ANS Z21.24Appliance Connectors of Corrugated Metal Tubing
and Fittings.
— ANS Z21.45Assembled FlexibleAppliance Connectors of Other
Than All-Metal Construction
The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority
having jurisdiction. The state of Massachusetts requires that a exible
appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.
