between the burner and the gas stub.
• Attach one end of the gas connector to the brass elbow
or safety pilot fitting. Attach the other end to the brass
adapter at the gas tube.
C. Install the Grate
• The grate should be centered over the burner pan, side
to side. If the grate sits toward the front of the burner pan,
the flames will be larger coming through the logs. If the
grate sits toward the back of the burner pan, the ember
bed will be more prominent. Refer to Figure 4.2.
Figure 4.2 Center Grate Over Burner Pan
D. Place Sand/Vermiculite, Rockwool
• Pour the sand (NG models) or vermiculite (LP models)
into the burner pan. Sand or vermiculite should follow the
slope of pan, covering it and the burner tube completely.
Note: Use caution so vermiculite does not get into the air
mixer on LP models.
• Allow the sand or vermiculite to spill out the front of the
pan and over the sides onto the fireplace floor.
Important: Cover the pilot assembly to protect it before
installing the sand or vermiculite.
Explosion Risk
• Follow rockwool placement instructions
in this manual.
• Replace rockwool material annually.
Improperly placed rockwool interferes with
proper burner operation.
WARNING
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.
• 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.
• Lightlyplace dime-sizedpieces ofrockwool evenly ontop
of the sand or vermiculite.
• Inspect the pilot burner to ensure it is clear of any
rock wool.

D. Troubleshooting
With proper installation and maintenance, your new decorative gas appliance should provide years of trouble-free service.
If you do experience a problem, refer to the troubleshooting guide below. This guide will assist you or a qualified service
technician in the diagnosis of problems and the corrective action to be taken.
Symptoms Possible Causes Corrective Action
1. A match will not light the
pilot. A. Main gas shutoff valve is closed 1. Make sure that the shutoff valve located on the incoming gas line is open.
B. There is air in the gas line. 1. Light a match. Turn the valve knob to the “PILOT”
position and depress. Keep the match near the pilot
burner until it lights.
C. The valve knob is in the
“OFF” position. 1. Turn the valve knob to the “PILOT” position and depress. Keep the match near the pilot burner until it
lights.
D. The pilot orifice is plugged,
not allowing gas to flow. 1. This repair requires tools and some degree of experience. Call a qualified service technician.
E. There is no gas supply to
the fireplace. 1. Check the plumbing to ensure the fireplace has been hooked up the gas supply line.
2. The propane tank is empty.
2. The pilot lights, but
will not stay lit after
carefully following lighting
instructions.
A. The thermocouple is too
tight or too loose. 1. The thermocouple must be attached to the valve finger-tight plus a 1/8 turn with a wrench.
B. There is a weak pilot
flame. 1. The pilot flame must engulf the thermocouple. Clean and/or adjust the pilot for maximum flame
impingement on the thermocouple.
C. Defective thermocouple 1. Check the thermocouple with a millivolt meter as
follows: Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve
and connect the red lead of the meter to the silver end
of the thermocouple. Connect the black lead of the
meter to the copper tubing of the thermocouple. Light
the pilot and keep the knob depressed while taking
readings. The meter readings should be greater than
14 mV. If not, replace the thermocouple.
3. The pilot is on, but there is
no gas to the main burner;
the valve knob is on.
A. A blockage is preventing
gas flow. 1. Inspect the burner orifice for obstruction. Call a qualified service technician.
B. Defective valve. 1. Replace the gas valve. Call a qualified service
technician.
