INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS GUIDE FOR
GRAND CANYON GAS LOG SYSTEMS
Grand Canyon Gas Logs, logs are made of cement refractory material re-enforced with steel fibers. Each of the logs are hand painted and
hand finished to recreate the most realistic logs available on the market. The gas burner system is designed to recreate and burn like a real
wood burning fireplace with a natural looking flame. With this in mind the gas log sets MUST be burned in a fully vented, non-combustible
fireplace with the DAMPER COMPLETELY OPEN and the chimney free of any obstruction or restrictions. The fireplace must be designed and
approved to bur wood.
The realistic flame produced by Grand Canyon Gas Log burners produce carbon monoxide and soot. Under standard conditions these
byproducts are exhausted up the chimney. IF the fumes or soot from the burning gas are evident in the room when the damper is fully open
it indicates that the fireplace draft is defective. IF this happens DO NOT operate your gas logs until the fireplace drat is corrected, call a
service technician to fix the problem.
Installation and service must be provided by a qualified installer, service agency or
gas supplier

IMPORTANT
For all valves, the air MUST be purged from the gas line before the pilot will light and burn properly. The
time needed to purge will depend on the length of the gas line to the unit and the amount of time since the
unit or gas line was last used. It may take several minutes before all the air is purged and the pilot will light
and burn properly. Follow the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section in this manual.

MAINTENANCE
Burning Grand Canyon Gas Logs for any length of time will cause the logs to soot. Soot only accumulates on the
log therefore the burner will not need cleaning. Soot is caused be incomplete combustion of the gas leaving
behind a dark dense material. Soot will also accumulate on the logs if the logs are not placed in the proper
position according to the log placement diagrams. To clean off soot use an old tooth brush and gently rub away
the soot. Periodic examination and cleaning of the venting system and the solid fuel-burning fireplace, including
frequency of such examination and cleaning, by a qualified agency. Periodic examination of the pilot assembly
should be in accordance with the provided picture.

INSTALLATION
The damper clamp with hex bolt is provided as a means to prevent full closure of the damper blade. The clamp
is easily attached to most, damper blades with pliers or a wrench, and must be permanently installed. The
clamp is designed to prevent accidental closure of the damper when installed. Should the clamp not fit or fail to
provide the permanent vent opening listed in the table above, have a permanent stop installed, remove the
damper blade or have the damper cut to provide the minimum permanent opening required.
The Grand Canyon Gas Log set must be installed by a qualified professional service technician. Instructions must
be followed carefully to ensure proper performance and full benefit from the gas log set. Check to be sure the
log set is designed and labeled for the type of gas (natural or propane) supplied to the fireplace. Fireplace floor
must be level clear of debris and smooth.
WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance with this manual or failure to use only parts specifically
approved with this appliance may result in property loss, personal injury, or loss of life.
BURNER INSTALLATION:
1. Make sure the fireplace gas supply is turned off
2. Locate the gas-supply stub inside the fireplace and remove the cap. When removing the cap make sure
the stud does not turn, loosening the connection inside the wall.
3. Center the burner from side to side and position it as close to the back wall of the firebox. Ideally, the
burner will be aligned directly under the flue damper.
4. Use the 3/8” aluminum flex line connector to connect the gas supply line to the gas inlet on the valve.
When bending the aluminum flex line use proper bending procedures to avoid kinking the tubing.
5. Verify that connections are tight, then turn on the gas and check each connection using soap and water
solution. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME FOR LEAK TESTING. The soap and water connection should be
50% water and 50% soap. Brush the solution over the connections and check for bubbles. Any leak
must be corrected prior to proceeding with installation.
6. Determine the valve system that is installed on the appliance, then proceed with lighting the pilot (
NOTE: Manual on/off valves do not have a pilot).
7. Before lighting the appliance make sure the heat shield is placed back in the position it was when the
appliance was taken out of the box.
BURNER MEDIA INSTALLATION:
1. Locate vermiculite (3 burner and LP units only) and the rock wool (Glowing Embers). Vermiculite is
used for all propane units and for the ember burner on the 3 burner appliance.
a. Open the vermiculite, then evenly fill the entire ember pan area,
2. Open the bag of rock wool, then spread it evenly throughout the entire ember pan area. Tear the rock
wool into smaller pieces and keeping it loosely packed will provide a better ember bed appearance.
