1. Attach the burner assembly to the oor of
the rebox with two screws. (Fig. # 1)
2. Connect ex lines from the manifold and
pilot assemblies to the bulkhead in the
rebox side. (Fig. # 2) Ensure that the
connection is gas tight.
3. Attach spark electrode (ORANGE) and
sensor leads to the electrical bulk head.
(Fig.# 3) (The spark electrode connection
has a red dot above it)
A panel set must now be installed. See
Installation and Operating Instructions
manual for details.
4. Position the grate in the slots of the
burner tray and attach to the oor with
two screws through holes located behind
the front legs of the grate. (Fig. # 4)
5. Attach rear deector to rear of grate using
the two screws provided. (Fig. # 5)

A large bag of ember material is shipped with the replace and needs to be installed to
ensure optimum performance and ame appearance.
Pull apart the material into ember size pieces (approximately 1” squares) and gently place
them into the burner pan. Do not compress, leave it loose for best performance.
Fill the burner pan level with the top of the pan at rear, and gradually slope forward to the
rebox oor at the front, covering both burner tubes.
Place remaining ember material outside of the burner pan as desired to cover-up gas lines
and brackets.
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
is achieved.

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.
Fig. # 6
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.
Note: The #2 left log has only one pin location at the top. The lower part of the log rests
between the grate and the “L” shaped rod on the left of the grate
Position the logs as indicated by the following pictures. The three main logs have holes and
/ or pins. Engage each pin in the corresponding holes. The four smaller logs do not have
holes or pins. They rest in position. Locate as per the diagrams (g. # 6-12).

Propane Conversion
If the unit is to be used on propane
convert as follows using the compo-
nents supplied with this replace:
CAUTION
The gas supply and electrical power
shall be shut off before proceeding
with the conversion.
Fig. # 14
Fig. # 15
Fig. # 16
Fig. # 13
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
air deector to the burner grate.
(Fig. #13)
3. Remove the two screws securing the
manifold assembly to the burner.
(Fig. #14)
4. Remove the manifold assembly from the
burner. (Fig. #15)
5. With a ½”wrench remove the natural gas
orice (#25) and replace with propane
orice (3/32”)(our part # 5021.31)
(Fig. #16)
6. Fully open the primary air shutter.
7. Reinstall the manifold and air
deector.

8. With a 7/16”wrench loosen the pilot head
on the pilot assembly by a half-turn
(Fig. #17)
9. Slide the pilot adjustment band over and
ensure that the hole in the orice band is
showing. (Fig. #18 shows NG position,
Fig. # 19 shows LP position)
10. Remove the minimum rate screw located
in the valve.

11. Replace the minimum rate screw with the
one provided in the propane conversion
kit supplied with this replace. Ensure
that the screw is fully installed.
(Fig. #21)

WARNING
The access panel including
gasket must be reinstalled
after conversion/ installation
or servicing has been
completed.
Failure to do so will overheat
and cause premature failure
of the control system.

12. Pull off the rubber cap from the top of
the pressure regulator. (Fig. #22)
13. Press down on the center post and
rotate 90°. The center post should
stay down. (Fig. #23). Replace the
rubber cap.
14. 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

1. Remove the pressure test port plug from
the manifold test port.The plug is located
between the right side lintel and
rebox side (bottom port). (Fig. #25)
2. Thread the extension test tting into the
open test port. (Fig. #26)
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" 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 pre-set closed at the factory for natural gas fuel. Propane requires fully open shutter
setting. 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. #27 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.
PRIMARY AIR SHUTTER
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: (See Fig. #28)
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 as needed
