CONVERTIBLE for use with other gasses.
• CAUTION: If not installed, serviced, and used correctly per these instructions, this product can cause
serious personal injury, property damage, or loss of life.
• WARNING: Before installing in a solid-fuel-burning replace, the chimney ue, damper, and rebox
must be thoroughly CLEANED of soot, creosote, ashes, and loose paint by a qualied chimney cleaner.
Some replaces (especially older ones) may need repair prior to installing this appliance.
• CHECK GAS TYPE (Natural or L.P.) The gas supply must be the same as stated on your burner system
rating plate. If has supply is dierent, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your dealer for immediate assistance.
• Any outside air ducts and/or ash dumps located on the oor or walls of the replace must be permanently
sealed shut before the installation. Use a heat-resistant sealant. Do not seal the chimney ue damper.
• INSUFFICIENT GAS PRESSURE WILL KEEP THE ODS (OXYGEN DEPLETION SENSOR) PILOT FROM
OPERATING PROPERLY. DO NOT USE IF GAS PRESSURE IS LOWER THAN THE MINIMUM
REQUIREMENT.
• The minimum inlet gas-supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment is 5” water column (w.c.) on
natural gas and 11” w.c. on L.P. gas. Insucient gas pressure will aect proper operation of the ODS pilot.
Do not install this gas appliance if the minimum pressure is not available. The maximum inlet gas-supply
pressure is 10.5 w.c. on natural gas and 13” w.c. on L.P. gas. The L.P. source must be regulated. (Do not
connect this appliance directly to an unregulated L.P. gas tank - this can cause an explosion.) Do not
connect this appliance to a portable L.P. gas cylinder.
• The gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure at the maximum ow rate
(BTU/hr). Undue pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small, or the run is too long. Gas supply
pipe must be 1/2” minimum interior diameter. If the gas line is longer than 20’, a larger diameter line may
be necessary. Refer to the NFPA 54 guidelines for further details.
• The minimum clearance from the replace opening to combustible materials on side walls and ceiling must
be maintained as outlined in MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES - WALLS AND CEILING.
• At least 10”-12” of noncombustible or heat-resistant material is required above the replace. A replace
hood will be required to act as a heat deector in protecting combustible replace surrounds (facing and/or
mantel) if certain minimum clearances cannot be met.
• Be certain that combustible ooring material (i.e., carpet, tile, etc.) is not too close to this gas appliance. If
this appliance is at oor level or less than 6” above the oor, there must be at least 12” of noncombustible
material between the base of the replace and any combustible ooring.
• Input ratings shown in BTU per hour are for elevations up to 2,000 ft. For elevations above 2,000 ft., refer
to the National Fuel Gas Code.
• This gas appliance and its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas-supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at tests pressures in excess of 1/2 psig.
• This gas appliance must be isolated from the gas-supply piping system by closing the equipment shuto
valve connected to the gas-supply line during any pressure testing of the gas-supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been underwater. Immediately call a qualied professional service
technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control
that has been underwater.

WARNING:
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a re or explosion may result, causing property damage,
personal injury, or loss of life.
LIGHTING THE ODS PILOT
To read the safety valve control knob (Fig. 19-1), read the
marking nearest the teardrop-shaped metal pointer.
1. If the safety valve control knob is in the PILOT position,
push in slightly on the knob and rotate it clockwise
to the OFF position.
2. Release knob and wait ve minutes.
3. Turn safety valve knob counterclockwise to the
PILOT position. (Only the ODS pilot gas will ow when
the knob is pushed in.)
4. Push and hold the safety valve knob fully in and push
in the piezo ignitor button several times until the ODS
pilot lights.
5. Hold the safety valve knob in for approximately 60
seconds before releasing.
6. If the ODS pilot does not stay lit, turn the safety
valve knob clockwise to the full OFF position.
Wait ve minutes, then repeat steps 3 through 5.
IGNITING THE MAIN BURNER
With the ODS pilot lit, turn the safety valve knob

SHUTTING OFF THE MAIN BURNER
Flip the bark switch to the OFF position. The ODS pilot
will remain lit.
SHUTTING OFF THE ODS PILOT
Be sure the switch control is OFF and depress and turn
the safety valve knob clockwise to the OFF position.
When shutting your burner down, be sure to TURN
THE FLAME FULLY OFF (to PILOT or OFF). Make
sure the burner is completely o for one minute
before relighting.
ADJUSTING THE ODS PILOT
a. The ODS pilot ame should encircle the
generator tip, and is preset at the factory (Fig.
19-2). Ordinarily the ODS pilot will not require
eld adjustment.
b. If adjustment is necessary, remove the cap screw
(Fig. 19-1) and turn the smaller gas adjustment
screw inside counterclockwise to increase
the ODS pilot ame, and clockwise to
decrease the ODS pilot ame. Replace the cap
screw.
MAINTENANCE
Your burner is equipped with a safety ODS pilot
that will shut o the gas supply in case the ODS
pilot is not burning or functioning properly. Make
sure the ODS pilot is adjusted properly and that the
generator space clips are tightly connected to the
terminal screws on the valve. If the ODS pilot will not
stay lit, call your local gas utility or gas supplier.
A periodic check of the following should be
performed at least annually by a qualied
professional service representative.
1. Valves and switch for proper operation.
2. Flue system for rust, damage, or leaks.
3. Damper operation.
4. Orices for dirt or other foreign matter.
5. Visual check on the burner
Do not use this appliance if any part has been underwater. Immediately call for a qualied professional service technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that has been underwater.
The Omega burner system has an ODS (Oxygen Depletion Sensor) pilot that can be lit by using the built in piezo ignitor switch
on the burner, or by hand using a match or long necked lighter. When lighting the ODS pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the burner area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the oor as some gas is heavier than air
and will settle on the oor. IF YOU SMELL GAS, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 1.
Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, don’t
try and repair it. Call a qualied professional service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in re or explosion.

CLEANING AND SERVICING
PILOT FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
BURNER FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
Annual inspection and cleaning by your dealer or qualied
service technician is recommended to prevent malfunction and/
or sooting.
TURN OFF HEATER AND ALLOW TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING.
PERIODIC CLEANING - Refer to parts diagram on page 14 for
location of items dicussed below.
• Do not use cleaning uid to clean logs or any part of the heater.
• Logs - Brush logs with soft bristle brush, or vacuum with brush
attachment.
• Remove loose particles and dust from the burner areas,
controls, piezo covers and grate.
• Inspect and clean burner air intake hole. Remove lint or
particles with brush. Failure to keep air intake hole clean will
result in sooting and poor combustion.
Figure 20-1 shows a correct pilot ame pattern. The correct ame
will be blue and will extend beyond the thermocouple. The ame
will surround the thermocouple just below the tip. A slight yellow
ame may occur where the pilot ame and main burner ame
meet.
Figure 20-3 shows a correct burner ame pattern. The correct
ame will be blue at the base and yellow at the tip. Flame should
be vertical in shape and should not impinge decorative logs.
ANNUAL CLEANING/INSPECTION - Refer to parts diagram for
location of items discussed below:
• Inspect and clean burner air intake hole. Remove lint or
particles with vacuum or brush. Failure to keep air intake hole
clean will result in sooting and poor combustion.
• Inspect and clean all burner ports.
• Inspect ODS pilot for operation and accumulation of lint at air
intake holes.
• Verify ame pattern and log placement for proper operation.
• Verify smooth and responsive ignition of main burner.
