or other reproductive harm.
IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s
manual carefully and completely
before trying to assemble,
operate or service this heater.
Improper use of this heater can
cause serious injury or death
from burns, fire, explosion,
electrical shock and carbon
monoxide poisoning.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead to death!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with
headaches, dizziness or nausea. If you have these
signs, the heater may not be working properly. Get
fresh air at once! Have heater serviced. Some
people are more affected by carbon monoxide than
others. These include pregnant women, people with
heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the
influence of alcohol and those at high altitudes.
Natural and Propane/LP Gas: Natural and pro-
pane/LP gases are odorless. An odor-making agent
is added to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas
leak. However, the odor added to the gas can fade.
Gas may be present even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warnings.
Keep this manual for reference. It is your guide to
safe and proper operation of this heater.
WARNING: Any change to
this heater or its controls can
be dangerous.
WARNING: Do not use a
blower insert, heat exchanger
insert or other accessory not ap-
proved for use with this heater.
WARNING: Do not allow fans

Installation Items Needed
Before installing fireplace, make sure you have
the items listed below.
• external regulator for propane/LP unit only
(supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap (optional)
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved flexible gas line with gas connector
(if allowed by local codes) (not provided)
For propane/LP units, the installer must supply
an external regulator. The external regulator will
reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce
incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches
of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pres-
sure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down
as shown in Figure 5. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
* Purchase the optional CSA design-certified
equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Inter-
nally-tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas. Check
your local codes. Use pipe of
1/2" diameter or greater to allow
proper gas volume to fireplace.
If pipe is too small, undue loss
of volume will occur.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff
valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate
NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up.
NPT tap must be upstream from fireplace.
IMPORTANT:
Install equipment shutoffvalv
e
in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff
valve is for turning on or shutting offthe gas to
the appliance.
Check your building codesfor any special re-
quirements for locating equipment shutoffvalve

INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pat-
terns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with the
heater running.
Some burner flame holes may become blocked
by debris or rust, with no flame present. If so, turn
off heater and let cool. Remove blockage. Blocked
burner flame holes may create soot.
FRONT BURNER FLAME PATTERN
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance).
The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the
flame sensor. This will cause the flame sen-
sor to cool. When the flame sensor cools, the
fireplace will shut down.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Note: The correct pilot flame on natural gas units
will have a slight curve, but flame should be blue
and have no yellow or orange color.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect.
