BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before starting the installation of your Gas Stones with Fusion Basket be sure to have the following
tools and supplies:
• Adjustable wrench
• Phillips and straight-blade screwdrivers
• Tape measure and framing square
• Safety glasses and gloves
• Manometer
• Leak detection uid (non-corrosive) or gas detector
Reset the Gas Stones with Fusion Basket before the rst re.
See Resetting the System under OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for details.
NOTE!

FIREPLACE REQUIREMENTS
Your Gas Stones with Fusion Basket must
sit fully inside your replace so that it
properly drafts up the chimney ue.
Be certain that the burner of your Gas
Stones with Fusion Basket is behind the
replace lintel. See Figure 1.
A minimum free opening of 50 square inches must
be provided by the chimney or damper to vent the
ue gases. The chimney damper must be xed with
the clamp provided to maintain the minimum free
opening. See Figure 2.
Note: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
requires that the damper be removed or welded
in the fully open position.

Place the burner module in the center of the replace and connect the gas supply to the exible
gas supply connector provided with the burner. The gas supply line must terminate with a male
½” NPT pipe thread in the rear of the replace. The gas supply piping should have a separate gas
shuto valve and a ⁄” NPT plugged tapping up stream of the valve. The Gas Stones with Fusion
Basket and its main control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa). The Gas Stones
with Fusion Basket must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the main control
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than ½
psi (3.5 kPa).

Place the Fusion Basket over the burner
so the burner is centered in the opening
in the Fusion Basket as in Figure 6.
After the gas supply has been connected, open the main supply and apply a soapy water solution
to all the ttings to check for gas leaks. Never use a ame to test for leaks. If you are installing a
propane burner, check that the air shutter (see Figure 5) is in the open position. Replace the burner
in the burner module. Ensure that the burner inlet tube is in the shutter box.

STONE CONFIGURATION
The Gas Stones with Fusion Basket can be operated with, or without, the decorative stones and/or
embers. The following is the recommended conguration. Slight dierences in the placements are
acceptable.
When using the stones and embers, begin by placing one layer of the embers evenly over the
entire burner top as shown in Figure 7.
Sort your stones, by size, into sixteen small, three medium and four large. Place a row of six small
stones along the rear edge of the burner as shown in Figure 8.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING!
A. This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the pilot. Do not
try to light the 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 con-
trol which has been under water.
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a re or explosion
may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Gas Stones with Fusion Basket has two safety features which aect the operation:
1) two-button child safety ignition
2) 45 second safety timer
The safety ignition requires that two buttons be depressed to begin the ignition sequence and
the timer requires that 45 seconds elapse between start attempts.

18
1. STOP! Read the safety information above.
2. This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which
automatically lights the pilot. Do not try to light the pilot
by hand.
3. Push the OFF button on the remote control to insure the
appliance is o.
4. Wait ve (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for
gas including near the oor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow
“B” in the safety information above. If you don’t smell gas,
go to the next step.
5. Press the OFF and LARGE FLAME (Ç) buttons
simultaneously. Release the buttons once you hear a
beeping noise. This acoustic signal tells you that the start
sequence has begun. Further short signals will continue
until main gas ows and the burner is lit. If the pilot or
burner does not light, go back to Step 3, above.
6. Use the LARGE FLAME (Ç) and SMALL FLAME (È)
buttons to adjust the ame height.

19
Note: The system shuts o the appliance completely if there is no change in the ame height for 5
days.
Igniting the Appliance.
Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position.
On the remote control, simultaneously press and hold the OFF andÇbuttons.
An acoustic signal indicates that the start sequence has begun.
The electronic system then checks that the main gas is owing and ignites the main burner; this may
take up to 20 seconds.
NOTE: During start-up, the MANUAL knob on the gas valve cannot be in the MAN position.
Manual Flame Height Adjustment.
You are now able to use the remote control. To increase the ame, the LARGE FLAME (Ç)button
should be depressed. Pressing the SMALL FLAME (È) button on the handset will reduce the ame.
The main ame may be lowered all the way down until it is o, leaving only the pilot ignited.
Fully Extinguishing the Appliance
From any heat setting, press the OFF button for a few seconds. This will cause the burner to fully
extinguish.
The system has a safety interlock which will not allow the ignition until the interlock rests. This may
take a few minutes.
The appliance should be shut o completely using the OFF button on the handset and not left on
pilot only, except for temporary use. This resets the system and all safety features.
Automatic Turndown.
1. The valve will turn to pilot ame if there is no change in ame height for a six hour period.
Automatic Shut O.
1. With low battery power in the receiver, the system shuts o the re completely. This does not hap-
pen if the power supply is interrupted.
2. The system shuts o the re completely if there is no change in ame height for 5 days.
3. The system shuts o the re if the main burner does not completely ignite approximately 20 sec-
onds after ignition or after pushing the LARGE FLAME (Ç) button.

MAINTENANCE
A qualied service agency should conduct an annual inspection and maintenance of your Gas
Stones with Fusion Basket, the replace, chimney, and the installation to keep it running safely.
The following procedures should be performed only by a qualied service person. The gas supply
should be turned o whenever a maintenance procedure is performed. All parts of the replace
that are removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operation.
Cleaning the Stones and Burner.
With all parts of the replace at room temperature, carefully remove and clean the stones with a
soft bristled brush. Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean the stones. Clean the burner surface with
a brush. Replace the components according to the instructions starting on page 11 of this manual.
Inspecting the Chimney
An inspection of the chimney should be made as part of the annual service appointment. The
chimney must have no blockage and be in good repair.
Replacing the Batteries
With all parts of the replace at room temperature, remove the stones and embers. Remove the
Fusion Basket from the replace. Find the battery compartment door on top of the receiver and
slide it open. Remove the four batteries and, minding the correct polarity, replace them with fresh
AA batteries. Close the battery compartment cover and re-set the Fusion Basket, embers and
stones according to the previous instructions.
