(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
Installation and Operating Instructions
manual for details.
6. Position the slots of the grate securing
brackets over the holes in the oor shield
and secure with the two screws
(Fig. # 4).

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
Fig. #5
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” square) 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.

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 (#25) and replace with propane
orice (3/32) (our part # 5021.31)
(Fig. #18)
5. Fully open the primary air shutter.

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.

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.
Burner Flame Adjustment
To Adjust:
1. Open and remove window frame and set
aside. See "Window Frame Removal"
section found in the Installation and
Operating Instructions manual.
2. Remove the log set and set aside.
3. Loosen the screw in the Primary Air
Shutter.
4. Rotate the shutter to increase or decrease
the amount of primary air.
5. Reassemble in reverse order.
