(Fig. # 3b) Ensure the connections are
gas tight. Conceal the spark and
sensor wires below the supply tubes.
A panel set must now be installed. See

Note:
Ember material placement
and amount will affect
ame appearance.
More ember material
results in lower ame
height.
Add or remove as needed
until desired ame affect.
Reduce the amount used
on Propane models, as too
much will create soot

Ember Material
Fig. #6
A large bag of ember material is shipped with the replace and needs to be installed on
the burner to ensure optimum performance and ame appearance. A bag of coal chunks
and lava rock is also supplied this must only be used around the burner pan to cover up
the gas lines and brackets.
1. Pull apart the material into ember size pieces (approximately 1” squares) and
gently place them into the burner pan. Do not compress, leave them loose for best
performance.
2. Fill the burner pan with embers until level with the top of the pan at rear, and gradually
slope forward to the rebox oor at the front, covering both burner tubes.
3. Place remaining ember material, coal chunks and lava rock outside of the burner pan
as desired to cover-up gas lines and brackets. Do not put coal chunks or lava rock
inside burner pan as this will cause sooting and the burner to malfunction.
Embers only in this area.

Gas plumbing and vent connections should
be completed before proceeding.
The logs are fragile, and should be handled
with care. Unpack and inspect log set. There
should be a total of seven logs.
Position the logs as indicated by the following
pictures.The seven main logs have holes and /
or pins.Engage each pin in the corresponding
holes. The remaining two logs do not have
holes or pins. They rest in position. Locate as
per the diagrams (g. # 7-15)
Note:Improper placement of logs will cause
sooting on internal parts and glass. The
logs may need to be repositioned slightly
to avoid excessive ame impingement.

Propane Conversion
If the unit is to be used on propane,
convert as follows using the
components supplied with this
replace:
CAUTION
The gas supply and electrical power
must be shut off before proceeding
with the conversion.
Fig. # 17
Fig. # 18
Fig. # 16
WARNING
This conversion kit shall be
installed by a qualied
service agency in
accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions
and all applicable codes
and requirements of the
authority having
jurisdiction.
If the information in these
instructions is not followed
exactly, a re, explosion or
production of carbon
monoxide may result
causing property damage,
personal injury or loss of
life.
The qualied service
agency is responsible for
the proper installation of
this kit.
The installation is not
proper and complete un-
til the operation of the
converted appliance is
checked as specied in the
manufacturer's instructions
supplied with the kit.
Note: Factory supplied components must
be used to ensure correct input.
After conversion conrm proper manifold
pressure.
1. Ensure the burner, pilot and gas
supply are turned off, and the
appliance has cooled.
2. Remove the two screws securing the
manifold assembly to the burner.
(Fig. #16)
3. Remove the manifold assembly from the
burner. (Fig. #17)
4. With a ½”wrench remove the natural gas
orice (#30) and replace with propane
orice (#45) (our part # 5021.34)
(Fig. #18)
5. Fully open the primary air shutter.
6. Reinstall the manifold assembly and
air deector.

7. With a 7/16”wrench loosen the pilot head
on the pilot assembly by a half-turn
(Fig. #19)
8. Slide the pilot adjustment band over and
ensure that the hole in the orice band is
showing. (Fig. #20 shows NG position,
Fig. # 21 shows LP position)
9. Remove the minimum rate screw located
in the valve.

kit supplied with this replace. Ensure
that the screw is fully installed.
(Fig. #23)
11. Remove the aluminum cap from the top
of the pressure regulator. (Fig. #24)
12. Press down on the center post and
rotate 90°. The center post should
stay down. (Fig. #25). Replace the
aluminum cap.
13. Fill in the date and the name of the
person who performed the conversion
in the white area on the conversion
label. Peel off the protective backing
and apply the conversion label directly
over the gas specications on the rating
label.
14. Attach the access panel to the side of
the rebox with the previously removed
screws. (Fig. #26)
Note:
Gasket must be installed with
access panel.

1. Remove the plug from the manifold test
port. The plug is located between the
right side lintel and rebox side (bottom
port). (Fig. # 27)
2. Thread the extension test tting into the
open test port. (Fig. #28)
3. Attach a pressure gauge onto the
tting.
4. When testing is complete remove the
extension test tting and replace the
plug. Thread sealant will be required to
ensure a gas-tight connection.
Correct gas pressure requirement:
Supply Pressure Natural Gas Propane
(For purpose of input adjustment)
Minimum 5.0" WC 12.5" WC
Maximum 13.9" WC 13.9" WC
Manifold Pressure
Maximum 3.8" WC 11.0w" WC
Minimum 2.1" WC 5.5" WC
Note:To test the gas pressure, turn off the gas supply before removing the plug from
the supply pressure test port or manifold pressure test port.
Verify gas pressures with the replace lit and on the highest setting.

Fig. # 29
The air shutter on the burner tube controls the primary combustion air to the gas burner
and is preset at the factory for natural gas fuel. Some adjustment may be necessary to
obtain desired ame and to eliminate carbon deposits. Evaluate ame appearance after
the replace has reached operating temperature. See Fig. #29 for proper ame pattern.
Open primary air shutter if the logs, glass, and rebox have carbon accumulation and /
or the ames are long, dark and stringy. The shutter may also be opened to enhance the
Ember Material glow and lessen the ame height.
Caution: Burner area may be hot!
Turn off the replace and allow the unit to cool before proceeding.
Caution: Proper air shutter setting is a
must.
The ame should be just orange and “lazy”.
It should NEVER be set to create sooting on
internal parts and glass.
Flame Adjustment
To Adjust:
1. Open and remove window frame and set
aside.See "Window Frame Removal" sec-
tion found in the Installation and Operating
Instructions manual.
2. Remove the log set and set aside.
3. Loosen the screw in the Primary Air Shut-
ter.
4. Rotate the shutter to increase or decrease
the amount of primary air.
5. Reassemble in reverse order.
