INSTALLATION
WARNING: Before installing in a solid fuel burn-
ing fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must be
cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint by
a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote will ignite if
highly heated. A dirty chimney flue may create and
distribute soot within the house. Inspect chimney
flue for damage.
NOTICE: Installation, service, and repair of this appli-
ance must be performed by a qualified installer,
service agency, company or gas supplier experi-
enced with this type of gas appliance. Only factory
authorized components listed in these instructions
may be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and all codes and requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction. Any modifications to
this kit, or use of unauthorized components or acces-
sory items will void the manufacturer’s warranty, and
may result in a hazardous condition.

install ON/OFF Safety Valve/Pilot Kit (see Accessories, page 22).
Call dealer where you bought log set.
If the fireplace does not have a gas supply shutoff valve, one must

VENTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR INSTALLATION
The fireplace chimney flue and vent must be drafting properly. To
check the vent for proper drafting: Light a tightly rolled newspaper
on one end and place it at the inside front edge of the fireplace.
Observe the smoke and be sure the vent is properly drawing it up the
chimney. If the smoke spills out into the room, extinguish the flame
and remove any obstruction until proper venting is achieved.
The chimney flue must remain open a minimum of 3" at all times
during the operation of this log set.
