H. Inspect the Appliance and Components
• Remove the contents from the carton labeled “Burner”.
Attached to the burner are tags identifying the manufacturer
name, serial number, model number (including gas log
size), BTU ratings, gas type, etc.
• Review the attached tags before proceeding. Ensure
that all minimum fireplace dimension requirements are
achieved using Table 3. See Figure 1. Ensure the gas
type provided in the fireplace coincide with the gas type
marked on the tag. Figure 4 Placing Vermiculite
Figure 3 Sand
Figure 5 Placing Rock Wool
• The burner is assembled with the controls installed at the
factory and is designed to connect one end of the 3/8 in.
supply line before placing inside the fireplace. Ensure the
connection is tightened using a 3/4 in. wrench.
• Place the burner towards the rear and center of the
fireplace and connect to the gas line. Follow instructions
in “F. Gas Pressure” to check for gas leaks.
• Remove the Platinum Bright Embers™ from the package.
For optimum performance peel each piece apart in layers
and lightly place on top of the vermiculite and rock wool
where the flame is blue. This will achieve the desired
realism.
• The gas burns at the point of the least resistance. In
case of an uneven flame pattern it may be necessary to
adjust the materials in the pans (using an object such as
a screwdriver) to achieve the desired effect.
• Place desired amount of lava granules on the floor of the
fireplace. DO NOT ALLOW THE GRANULES TO COME
IN CONTACT WITH THE FLAMES. (Lava granules may
contain moisture which, when heating, may cause it to pop
out during installation and set-up.) Ensure the controls
and switches are unobstructed after the granules are
installed.
• Place logs. See Sections L Thru S.
• Place accent logs around burner on floor of fireplace.
I. For Natural Gas Installation
• Pour sand into the burner pans to the point where the
burner pipe is covered. See Figure 3. Level the sand from
right to left to ensure an even flame pattern. At this point
the pan should be half full.
.Pour vermiculite over the sand in the pans until they are
full. See Figure 4.
• Lightly place dime-size pieces of rock wool evenly on top
of the sand and vermiculite to achieve a glowing ember
effect. See Figure 5.
Figure 1 Measure Firebox
Note: For best results, do not pack down the rock wool.
The placement of rock wool can have an effect on flame
pattern and may need to be adjusted to achieve a desired
appearance.

J. Damper Stop Installation Instructions
Included in the burner assembly box is a damper stop clamp
which attaches to the damper as shown (Figure 6). Install
the clamp to the damper ensuring that the minimum require-
ments (Tables 1 and 2) are achieved. Use a 7/16 in. wrench
to secure the clamp to the damper. If the damper clamp pro-
vided does not fit your application, other means of securing
the proper opening must be provided by the installer.
Figure 6 Damper Stop Clamp
Note: The state of Massachusetts requires that the
chimney flue damper, when used with gas logs, be welded
open or completely removed. In the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts this appliance must be installed by a
licensed plumber or gasfitter.
K. Inspect the Venting System
The fireplace venting system is designed and constructed to
develop a positive flow adequate to remove flue gases to the
outside atmosphere. See fireplace installation instructions.
A spillage test must be made before the installed
appliance is left with the consumer.
• Close all doors and windows in the home.
• Light the log set (see Lighting Instructions).
• After three minutes, test with a smoke match, smoke
candle, stick incense or cigarette 1 in. below the top of
the opening (lintel) moving across the full width. If spillage
(smoke down into the room) occurs, it will most likely be
near the top, outside corners.
Possible cures if spilling occurs:
• The damper needs to be opened further.
• The fireplace opening needs to be reduced by adding a
drop panel across the top under the lintel.
• The air supply from outdoors needs to be increased. Open
the outside air kit if the appliance is so equipped, or crack
open a door or window.
• If necessary, seek expert advice. Do not operate this
appliance.
Cleaning
• Periodic examination and cleaning of the venting system
of the fireplace should be done before initial use and at
least annually by a qualified agency.

X. Fequently Asked Questions
Can I close the glass doors on my fireplace when using my gas logs?
No. The gas log sets are designed for use in fireplaces with all fireplace doors fully opened. Operating your log set with the doors
closed will cause overheating, premature failure of valve systems, and will void the warranty of your log set.
What sort of maintenance do gas logs require?
Vented gas logs do not require regular maintenance. However, it is a good idea to have valves, pilots and gas connections on your
set periodically inspected by a hearth professional. Although it is not required maintenance, annually refurbishing the ember material
and periodic cleaning of the logs will help maintain your set’s beauty and realism.
Does the ember material burn-up, and do I need to replace it periodically?
The ember material is a fireproof, organic mineral material called rock wool, and does not burn or require periodic replacement;
however, annual refurbishment of the embers will help maintain the beauty and realism of your log set.
Can I burn real wood along with my gas logs?
No. The intense heat of a wood fire will damage your logs, burners, grates and valves, and will void your warranty.
Will gas logs help my chimney that drafts poorly?
No. Improper or poor draft will not be helped by gas logs. Please have your chimney inspected by a hearth professional or chimney
sweep in order to determine how to correct the problem.
Can I close my fireplace damper to get more heat from my vented gas log set?
No. Vented gas logs are designed to be operated with the damper in the fully opened position. This gas log set produces carbon
monoxide gas. The damper must be removed or clamped fully open using the “C” clamp provided with the set.
My gas logs make a whistling noise when I burn them. What causes this?
This behavior is normally caused by using a corrugated flex connector to hook up the gas log set. We recommend the installer use
the supplied aluminum connector rather than the corrugated flexible type.
Can I move or change the position of the logs on my gas log set?
Omni certified log sets should not be altered - log placement must be exactly as indicated in the set’s installation instructions.
Can I install my gas log set myself?
No. We recommend installation be performed by an NFI certified hearth professional, HVAC professional, gas fitter, or plumber
experienced in gas log installation. Most localities require installation of any gas appliance to be performed by a professional.
Please check with your local inspection agency/department.
What are the gas logs made of?
The gas logs are made of a mixture of pre-fired, expanded clay and a special high-temperature cement, with a wire mesh
reinforcement. This combination creates a strong, ceramic material capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, yet also allows
molding of the intricate detail found in these gas log sets.
I have a vented log set, and the logs have black soot on them. Is this normal?
Soot build-up on vented gas logs is a normal part of the combustion process. Natural gas log sets generally produce less soot
than liquid propane log sets. We recommend any soot build up be removed periodically using a product designed for gas log soot
removal.
Can I add a remote control to my log set after it has been installed?
No.
Is the gas log set approved by a testing agency?
Yes. The GO series has been design certified by Omni under the ANSI Z21.84-2004 Decorative Appliances for Installation in
Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces. The installation and the provisions for combustion and ventilation air must conform to the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Check with your local inspections department for further information.
