IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
13. Correct installation of t e fire media, proper location of t e eater, and annual cleaning are
necessary to avoid potential problems wit sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper
installation or operation, can settle on surfaces outside t e fireplace. See media placement
instructions for proper installation.
14. WARNING: Avoid any drafts t at alter burner flame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly
into fireplace. Do not place a blower inside burn area of firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts
t at alter burner flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will occur.
15. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce combustion by-products including soot. Vent
Free eaters will not filter or clean soot produced by t ese types of products. In addition, t e
smoke and/or aromatics (scents) may be reburned in t e vent free eater w ic can produce
odors. It is recommended to minimize t e use of candles, incense, etc. w ile t e vent free eater
is in operation.
16. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and ot er flammable
vapors and liquids.
17. T is appliance is intended for supplemental eating.
18. Unvented gas eaters emit moisture into t e living area. In most omes of average
construction, t is does not pose a problem. In ouses of extremely tig t construction,
additional mec anical ventilation is recommended.
19. During manufacturing, fabricating and s ipping, various components of t is eater are treated
wit certain oils, films or bonding agents. T ese c emicals are not armful but may produce
annoying smoke and smells as t ey are burned off during t e initial operation of t e eater;
possibly causing eadac es or eye or lung irritation. T is is a normal and temporary
occurrence. T e initial break-in operation s ould last four to six ours wit t e burner at t e
ig est setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors to
dissipate. T e amount of time required for t e initial break-in is dependent on a number of
variables determined by your specific installation including but not limited to surfaces and
surface finis es adjacent to t e fireplace w ic may off gas for some period of time. Any odors
remaining after t is initial break-in period will be slig t and will disappear wit continued use.
20. Input ratings are s own in BTU per our and are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. If your
installation is at an elevation greater t an t ese, consult wit t e local aut ority aving
jurisdiction for gas product installations to determine t eir specific requirements for ig
altitude installations.
21. T e eater must be isolated from t e gas supply piping system by closing its equipment s utoff
valve during any pressure testing of t e gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less t an 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
22. Do not use t is room eater if any part as been under water. Immediately call a qualified
service tec nician to inspect t e eater and to replace any part of t e control system and any
gas control w ic as been under water.
23. Never burn solid fuels in a fireplace w ere an unvented eater is installed.
24. WARNING: Any c ange to t is eater or its controls can be dangerous.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
Before you begin t e fireplace mounting process t ere are several important installation requirements
t at must be met. Careful planning will make t e installation easier to accomplis and will reduce t e
c ances of encountering problems during installation.
1. T e fireplace is designed to be wall-mounted using four lag bolts to secure t e fireplace
mounting plate to t e wall structure. T e mounts are located 16” on center and 24” on center to
correspond wit standard building construction. If your ome as non-standard construction or
t e location you ave c osen for t e fireplace does not ave wall studs t at correspond to
location of t e fireplace mounts, modifications to t e wall structure will be needed. It is critical
t at t e four lag bolts t at are provided for mounting t e fireplace are firmly imbedded into t e
wall structure at all four locations.
2. All required minimum clearances to adjacent combustible materials (including side walls, ceiling
and floor) must be ac ieved wit t e location you ave c osen. See t e clearance information on
page 8. T e listed clearances are measured from t e outermost front edges of t e fireplace
surround and not from t e fireplace body or mounting plate. Again, plan t e installation in
advance to avoid problems.
3. T e gas supply line must be located wit in a specific area be ind t e fireplace. Use t e provided
wall template as a guide w en locating t e gas supply line pass-t roug .
Once you are certain t at t e location you ave c osen meets all t e necessary mounting and safety
requirements, you can begin t e installation.
1. Tape or pin t e installation template to
t e wall in t e position w ere t e fireplace
is to be mounted. Note: It is important
t at t e fire-place is mounted in a level
position. Use a spirit level placed on t e
cross- airs in t e upper mounting oles
on t e template and adjust t e template
position until t e mounting oles are
level. Refer to t e adjacent illustration.
2. Next, carefully transfer t e location of t e
two upper and two lower mounting oles
t at you will use for your installation. Use
a s arp nail, awl or pin to pierce t e
template on t e mounting ole cross-
airs to insure an accurate transfer to your
wall.
3. Finally, transfer t e location of t e gas supply line.
4. Remove t e template and circle t e transferred locations wit a pencil or marker.

4. Using t e lag bolts and was ers provided wit t e fireplace, install t e top lag bolts (wit
was ers) first, followed by t e lower ones. Use a 7/16” socket wrenc to tig ten t e lag bolts.
Note: It may be elpful to put a lig t coating of dis or and soap on t e lag bolts to reduce
resistance w en tig tening.
5. At t is point, c eck to be sure t at t ere is an air gap between t e entire flat back surface of t e
mounting plate and t e wall surface (see clearance c art on page 9 for t e air gap required for
your model). T is gap is critical to a safe installation and if t e gap is obstructed in any way,
remove t e obstruction before proceeding.
6. Next c eck t at t e brackets on t e mounting plate t at actually old t e fireplace are level,
again using a spirit level. If t e brackets are not perfectly level, you can adjust t e rig t bracket
by loosening t e bracket fasteners and moving t e bracket until it is level wit t e left bracket.
Remember to tig ten t e bracket fasteners once you ave ac ieved a level position. (refer to

1. Verify t at t e gas type is correct for t e fireplace by looking at t e rating plate t at is attac ed
to t e rig t side of t e fire-place, adjacent to t e control battery pack. Note: T e fireplace is
s ipped from t e factory equipped to burn t e fuel listed on t e rating plate. Fuel conversion in
t e field is not allowed.
2. T e gas connection s ould now be made from t e gas supply line to t e 3/8 OD Tube fitting on t e
fireplace. Only a qualified gas installer is to make t e connection.
3. T e gas supply piping s ould ave a separate
gas s ut-off valve and a 1/8” NPT plugged
tapping upstream of t e valve. We recommend
installing a s ut-off valve between t e gas
supply line w ere it penetrates t e wall /
fireplace mounting plate and t e inlet on t e
fireplace. T is will allow gas to be s ut-off to
t e fireplace by simply removing t e fireplace
surround to gain access to t e s ut-off valve.
4. T e fireplace and its main burner valve must be
disconnected from t e gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of t at
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi
(3.5kPa).
5. T e fireplace must be isolated from t e gas supply piping system by closing t e gas s ut-off
