The minimum opening that must be provided by the fireplace chimney to vent the unit properly is shown above

in the sizing chart.

It is necessary to provide adequate combustion and ventilation air. Air for combustion and ventilation must not

be obstructed. Provide adequate clearance around air opening in the combustion chamber and adequate

accessibility clearance for servicing and proper operation.

NEVER obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.

WARNING: Any safety guard removed for servicing an appliance must be replaced before operating the appliance

INSTALLATION

Unpacking

Unpack the appliance carefully and inspect for missing parts or damages that may have occurred during

shipping. If any part of the appliance is missing or damaged, please notify Sure Heat Manufacturing at

(770) 422-8008.

Fireplace Preparation

The fireplace needs to be properly prepared before installing this fireplace unit.

1. Turn off gas supply to the fireplace.

2. Clean chimney and fireplace floor of any combustible material to limit the smell from the system.

Gas Piping and Gas Pressure Requirements

PREPARATION

Check the type of gas that is supplied to your fireplace. Only install the unit that is equipped to operate on the gas

that is supplied to your fireplace. All gas piping must be installed to comply with local and national fuel gas codes.

Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to the action of L.P. gas. Before installing the

Installation to Existing Gas Line in Fireplace

A manual on/off valve should be present within easy reach of the gas log set. If a manual valve is not present, one must

be installed prior to the gas log installation.

Installation in a Masonry Fireplace

A1/2” gas supply line must be provided to the fireplace. Most installations require drilling and access hole through the

masonry wall. The supply line should be secured and sealed by mortar within the access hole. The supply line should

also have an on/off valve in the wall or inside the fireplace. (See Figure 10.)

Damper Clamp Installation

This appliance is only to be installed and burned in a fully vented fireplace with a fully functional damper and chimney

that is free of any obstructions. Adamper clamp is provided to allow any pilot combustion products to vent. The unit must

be operated with the damper in the fully opened position. (See Figure 11.)

11. Connect pilot and thermocouple to pilot bracket using the screws and nuts provided. Be sure that the pilot and the

thermocouple is just hanging over the burner pan. (See Figure 9.)

NOTE: Carefully bend the pilot tubing when attaching the pilot burner to the burner pan. Care should be

taken not to kink the tubing which would restrict the gas flow to the pilot burner.

9. Using pipe dope connect the 3” Nipple to the Street Elbow attached to the valve assembly and to the 3/8” Female

Elbow. Then connect the 3/8” Female Elbow, which is connected to the entire valve assembly, to the Burner Orifice

using pipe dope. (See Figure 7.)

10. The valve assembly could be rotated to better conceal the controls. Simply rotate the entire valve assembly by

turning the top 3/8” Street Elbow with a wrench (See Figure 8.)

Connecting Gas Supply to Burner Pan

1. Place burner system in proper location.

2. Attach brass 3/8” to 1/2” gas inlet fitting to the 1/2” gas supply stub.

3. Carefully bend the flared tubing as needed to make the connection between the burner assembly and the

gas inlet fitting. Next attach the flared tubing to the burner assembly first, then to the gas inlet fitting.

Avoid kinking the flared tubing while bending. If tubing must be cut, use a tube cutter. Flare the cut end of

the tube with a flaring tube.

Burner System Location

1. The Burner system should be located towards the back and centered in the combustion chamber of the

vented fireplace. The burner system should be centered from left to right, with about an inch of space on

either side.

4. Be certain all connections are tight and use compound on all male threads to seal joints.

The pipe compound must be resistant to the action of L.P. gas. Test all connections with a soapy water

solution with gas supply turned on. If bubbles appear on any connection, retighten and reset. Once it is

determined there are no leaks whatsoever, turn off gas supply and move to next assembly step.

Granule, Ember, and Log Grate Placement

1A. Natural Gas Installation: Spread granules or sand over each installed burner pan. Granules should be

sloped to the same angle as the burner pan filling the entire pan (See Figure 13.)

1B. L.P. Gas Installation: Spread vermiculite (white) over each installed burner pan. Vermiculite should be

sloped to the same angle as the burner pan filling the entire pan (See Figure 13.)

2. Spread glowing embers over the top of the granules or vermiculite covering the entire surface area,

concentrating on the front and sides of each burner pan for the most realistic burning effect.

3. Place log grate over the burner pan. (See Figure 14.)

4. Place the (2) back log supports on the back of the grate. (See Figure 14.)

Log Placement

1. Place the longest log in the front section of each grate as far foward as possible.

2. Place the next longest log on the back log support brackets as far back as possible, or on RW1000 log

sets on the grate as far back as possible.

3. Arrange top logs according to the illustration for your specific set size.

Page 7

It may be necessary to squeeze the

back log support with pliers after

attaching the grate.

2. Before lighting smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas

is heavier than air and will settle on floor.

PILOT FLAME ADJUSTMENT

The Pilot Thermocouple should be engulfed by the Pilot Flame by approximately 1/2”. (See Figure 18.)

Should Pilot Flame become inadequate to heat the thermocouple properly, you will need to adjust the pilot

(See Figure 19.) Adjust the height of the Pilot Burner Flame by rotating the Pilot Adjust Screw to the desired

1/2” flame height.

Remember: Be sure to turn the pilot adjust screw (2) full turns in a counter-clockwise direction to

enable pilot operation.
