STEP ONE: BURNER PAN FITTINGS (Figure 1)
NOTE: If fittings do not come pre-wrapped with Teflon threaded tape, pipe compound must be applied to the non-flared
threads.
1. Ensure that the BURNER PLUG (Figure 1A.) is inserted into the opposite end of the BURNER PIPE (Figure 1B)
and wrench tightened.
2. Thread the Natural Gas or Propane Burner Pan Inlet Assembly into the BURNER PAN (Figure 1C).
• Natural Gas Burners (NG) (F, FX, CS, CXF, TNA) Insert theBURNER ORIFICE (Figure 1D) into the INTERNALLY
TAPPED 3/8 FLARED x 3/8 MIP ELBOW (Figure 1E)and wrench tighten. (Orifices and Fittings are provided with the
Burner Pan)
• Propane Burners (LP) (FA, FA-X, CA, CXFA, TNA/LP) requiresMA (Figure 1F) or MA-2 (Figure 1G) AIR MIXER
ASSEMBLY. Insert the Internally Tapped 3/8 Flared x 3/8 MIP Elbow and wrench tighten. Thread the Air Mixer onto
the 3/8 Flared x 3/8 MIP Elbow and wrench tighten with air intake hole positioned horizontally and parallel with the floor.

LEFT SIDE GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
Attach the Pilot Support Bracket (PB-1) to the left side of the burner pan using a 10-32 nut and bolt (Figure 7A), then place the
Pilot Thermocouple Assembly overthe bracket aligning the two screw holes (Figure 7b). Place the Thermocouple Heat Shield
over the Thermocouple Assembly and bolt onto the Pilot Support Bracket using the supplied 10-32 nuts and bolts (Figure 7C).

SUGGESTED FIREBOX LAYOUT AND REQUIRED PARTS
The “EASY” Safety Valve can be adversely affected by heat and must be placed as far forward and to the side of the
burner pan as possible (Figure 8B). It may also be placed open face side down with heat shield up as shown in
Figure 8C. The example below shows an FX style burner. For other styles of burners see next page.

C) KNOB POSITION INDICATOR
FIGURE 9 “EASY” SAFETY VALVE
1. Turn VALVE KNOB (Figure 9A) to “PILOT” position.
2. Depress and hold until air is bled and gas flows to Pilot
(Figure 10A).
3. Light Pilot with a Match or Lighter.
4. Once Pilot is lit, continue to depress and hold until the
Pilot flame remains lit (approximately 30 to 60 seconds).
5. If Pilot does not remain lit, depress and turn Valve Knob
clockwise to “OFF” position and wait at least 5 minutes to
allow gas to dissipate. Repeat steps 1 thru 4.
STEP ONE: PILOT LIGHTING
1. The Pilot flame should be steady, surrounding the
THERMOCOUPLE TIP (Figure 10B).
2. If pilot flame adjustment is necessary, use a narrow long stem flathead
screwdriver to turn PILOT ADJUSTMENT SCREW (Figure 9B) above.
3. Turn clockwise for less flame, counterclockwise for more.
4. If after pilot adjustment the burner begins to shutdown,
re-adjust for a longer pilot flame.
STEP TWO: PILOT ADJUSTMENT

B) THERMOCOUPLE TIP
STEP THREE: BURNER OPERATION
1. Turn VALVE KNOB counter clockwise to “ON” position (Figure 11A).
2. Adjust the burner flame height by turning the valve knob clockwise to
lower and counter-clockwise to raise up to full on.
NOTE: The VALVE KNOB has complete control of gas to the pilot and
burner. It cannot be turned to “OFF” without first depressing dial to the
“PILOT “ position and then rotating clockwise to “OFF” (see figure 9A).
During the heating season leave valve knob in “PILOT” position for
convenience. Otherwise, turn to “OFF” position for any prolonged non-use.

IMPORTANT! READ THESE WARNINGS PRIOR TO OPERATION IMPORTANT!
• CHIMNEY DAMPER MUST BE WIDE OPEN! The flue must vent all products of combustion. Damper and glass
doors MUST be fully open before lighting or burning for proper ventilation and to prevent heat damage to valve.
• Your gas log set should be operated for the first 2-3 hours at a low flame setting to allow tempering of the
refractory logs.
• DO NOT REMOVE HEAT SHIELD (Figure 8A). It is intended to prevent premature valve failure and voiding
of warranty. Replace immediately if removed for any reason.
• The “EASY Safety Control Valve must be protected to a maximum ambient temperature of 225° F. Excessive heat
to the valve is indicated by melted plastic or wiring on the valve body and is not warrantable.
• Allow an adequate period of cooling after use before closing glass doors.
• NEVER operate your gas log set with glass doors closed.
