D. Appliance Certification
This appliance has been evaluated by PFS in accordance
with the requirements of Ansi Z21.84-2012 Standard for
Decorative Log Sets for Installation in Wood Burning Fire-
places. Installation and the provisions for combustion and
ventilation air must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code.
• This appliance must have a screen in place while the
appliance is in operation and, unless other provisions for
combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an
opening for introduction of combustion air.
• Solid fuels shall not be burned in a fireplace where a
decorative appliance is installed.
• Ifglass doorsare present,the glass doors must be fully
opened while appliance is in operation.
Do NOT use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
WARNING
E. Gas Supply Connection
A 3/8 in. flared fitting has been installed on the gas valve
inlet at the factory. Ensure fittings are of the appropriate size
and type on the gas line connection. If the tubing has to be
cut to length be sure to use the proper cutting and flaring
tool. Also, be careful not to crimp the tubing while bending. If
the tubing becomes crimped, do not use for installation.
Gas resistant pipe compound must be used on all threaded
male connections to ensure a tight seal.
F. Gas Pressure
Proper input pressures are required for optimum appliance
performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to be made
following NFPA51.
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Verify inlet pressures.
• High pressure may cause overfire
condition.
• Low pressure may cause explosion.
Install regulator upstream of valve if line
pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
High pressure will damage valve.
• Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE
pressuretestinggaslineat test pressures
above 1/2 psig.
• Closethe manual shutoff valve BEFORE
pressuretestinggaslineat test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
WARNING
• GasSupply Pressure:Minimum inletgas supply pressure
must be 7.0 in. W.C. for natural gas. The gas line
supplying the appliance must be sufficient size to furnish
the appropriate supply pressure to the appliance while
operating in the “High” setting.
• Pressure tap screws must be closed before turning gas
on to the appliance.
• Gas Line Pressure Test: Perform pressure test according
tostate and localcode (if pressureexceeds 1/2in. psi (3.5
kPa)) before appliance is connected. Be sure to release
air pressure from the gas line before connection is made
tothe appliance. Excessive pressure will damage the gas
control and may cause a gas leak.
• Gas Leak Test: Make sure the gas connections are tight.
Turn on the gas and coat each joint with a non-corrosive
gas leak check solution. Air bubbles will form indicating
any leaks. DO NOT USE A FLAME OR ANY TYPE OF
IGNITION SOURCE TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. All leaks
must be corrected before proceeding with installation.
• Theappliancemust only be installedina solid-fuel burning
fireplace with the flue damper clamped open according
to Tables 1 and 2. The fireplace must be constructed of
non-combustible material.
• The minimum permanent free opening (in square inches)
thatmust beprovided bythe fireplacechimney or damper
to vent the flue gases is provided in Tables 1 and 2. If the
freeopening is smaller than the specified area,do notuse
this appliance.
• The damper must be removed or fixed in a manner in
which will secure it open. Some jurisdictions require the
damper to be removed or permanently welded fully open.
Check with state and local codes.
• Be sure that the chimney is completely unobstructed to
ensure proper ventilation of flue gases including carbon
monoxide (CO). CO (a poisonous gas) is tasteless,
odorless, colorless and undetectable without proper
equipment.
• Refer to Table 3 to determine minimum fireplace opening
requirements before proceeding.

Attachedtotheburneraretagsidentifyingthemanufacturer
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 1 Measure Firebox
• 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.
H. Lava Rock Installation
• Pour Lava Rock into the burner pans to the point where
the burner pipe is covered. See Figure 5.
The gas burns at the point of least resistance. In case
of 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.
