STOVE INSTALLATION (CONT.) - For qualified installers only! PAGE 7
Heater Placement Requirements
¥Heater must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the heater and vent
¥Due to the high temperature of the heater, it should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies. Heater
must be placed so no combustibles are within, or can swing within 36" of the front of the heater (e.g. drapes, doors)
?When placed in a location where the floor to ceiling height is under 7 feet , the installation is considered an alcove and
must meet the following requirements:
¥The alcove floor to ceiling height must be at least 58" tall
¥The alcove must not be more than 48" deep (before the ceiling returns to 7 feet)
¥The alcove must be at least 44" wide
¥The stove must not be placed so the vents below or above the door, along the sides of stove, or along the back of the
heater can become blocked.
Floor Protection
¥When the stove is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl or other combustible material other than wood flooring or a high
pressure laminate wood floor, the stove must be installed on a metal or wood protection panel extending the full width
and depth of the heater (Minimum 24Ó wide by 18-3/4Ó deep).
Gas Line Installation
!The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI Z223.1 and the requirements
listed below.
!The heater and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures under 1/2 psig, isolate the gas supply piping by closing the
manual shutoff valve.
¥This heater is designed for natural gas but can be converted to propane. Check the sticker on the top of the gas control
valve to make sure the correct fuel is used.
¥Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the heater.
¥The gas inlet accepts a 3/8" F.P.T. Fitting
¥The location of the gas inlet is shown below

Vent Requirements
!Always maintain the required 1" clearance (air space) to combustible materials to prevent a fire
hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
!The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use it's own separate vent system.
!If the stove is installed at
an altitude over 3,000
feet the flame quality
will need to be carefully
evaluated. See
Addendum #1, "Altitude
Considerations", on page
39.
¥When the vent passes
through a wall, a wall
thimble is required.
When the vent passes
through a ceiling, a
support box or firestop is
required. When the vent
passes through the roof,
a roof flashing and storm
collar are required.
Follow the instructions
and requirements
provided with the vent
when installing.
Use a firestop spacer whenever
passing through a ceiling

Acceptable Vent Configurations
Restrictor Position
¥A vent restrictor is built
into the appliance to
adjust the flow rate of
exhaust gases. This
ensures proper flames for
the wide variety of vent
configurations. The
restrictor consists of a
butterfly valve below the
starter section of pipe
and an adjustment plate
with index holes used to
hold the valve in a fixed
position. Depending
upon the vent
configuration, you may
be required to adjust the
restrictor position. The
charts for acceptable
vent configurations
describe which position
the vent restrictor must
be in.

On/Off Switch This control is used to turn the heater on and off.
Pilot Igniter The pilot igniter is used only to start the pilot. When pressed, it sends an
electrical charge to the pilot assembly. This creates a blue spark directly next
to the pilot, igniting the pilot flame.
Gas Control Knob This knob is used to control gas to the heater and for starting the pilot. There
are three positions, ON, OFF, & PILOT. The pointer directly below the knob
indicates the position this knob is in.
Flame Adjust Knob This knob controls the flame height from low ("LO") to high ("HI"). The
pointer to the upper right of the knob points to the position this knob is in.
?If using a remote control or thermostat, the On/Off Switch must be left "ON". Turning the On/Off
Switch "OFF" will keep the heater off always.

OPERATING YOUR HEATER (CONTINUED)PAGE 19
Starting The Pilot Flame
The pilot flame is required to ignite the main
burners (it also plays a safety role). It
should be left on once lit. It will stay lit
unless the gas control valve is turned to
"OFF". However, the pilot will go out if the
gas is shut off, the propane tank runs out
(or low) or if the stove malfunctions. If the
pilot turns off frequently, call your dealer for
information. To start the pilot follow the
directions below:
WARNING:
When lighting or re-lighting the pilot, the
glass must be removed (see page 13).
aRemove the glass (see page 13 for
details).
bPush the gas control knob in slightly
and turn it to the "OFF" position. The
knob will not turn from "ON" to "OFF"
unless the knob is depressed slightly.
Wait five minutes to let any gas that
may have accumulated inside the
firebox escape. If you smell leaking
gas, follow the directions on the cover
"IF YOU SMELL GAS".
cTurn the gas control knob to the
"PILOT" position and press the knob in,
this will allow gas to flow to the pilot
light. Press the red button on the pilot
igniter repeatedly until you see the pilot
light.
WARNING:
If the pilot does not light after 15
seconds, release the knob and call
your dealer for service. Do not
attempt to light pilot until service
has been performed.
NOTE:
You may wish to remove the log set
to gain a better view of the pilot.
dKeep the gas control knob depressed
for 30 seconds once it is lit.
eRelease the gas control knob. If the
pilot goes out, repeat step C. If the
pilot refuses to stay lit, call your dealer
for service. With the pilot lit, proceed to
step ÒfÓ.
fReplace the glass.
gTurn the gas control knob counter-
clockwise to "ON". The pilot is now lit
and the heater can be turned on and
off.

Starting the Heater for the First Time
¥ Paint Curing insures a durable finish. Start the heater and burn on low for 20 minutes. Turn off
and let cool. Repeat twice to fully cure the paint.
+ Fumes and smoke from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel may occur the first time you
start your heater. This is normal. We recommend you open windows to vent the room.
+ Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the heater - this is normal.
+ Blue Flames will occur on the heater when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will
turn a more realistic yellow and orange color.
