Installation practices vary from region to region and it is important
to know the specifi cs that apply to your area, for example: in Mas-
sachusetts State:
• The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
• The fl exible connector must not be longer than 36“.
• The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom
or bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent sealed combustion
product.
• WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed
plumber or gas fi tter when installed within the commonwealth
of Massachusetts.
• Un-vented room heater shall be installed in accordance with
527 CMR 30.00 and 248 CMR 3.00 through 7.00.
• Sellers of un-vented propane or natural gas-fi red space/room
heaters shall provide to each purchaser a copy of 527 CMR

The installation must conform with Local codes or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/INFPA
54 in the United States or CSA B149.1, Natural and Propane Instal-
lation code in Canada.
The fi replace and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The
fi replace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by clos-
ing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
When the fi replace is installed directly on combustible material other
than wood fl ooring, the fi replace shall be installed on a metal or wood
panel extending the full width and depth.
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN TEST-
FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY! Maximum
input is 40,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and propane. When the fi re-
place is installed at elevations above 2,000ft, and in the absence of
specifi c recommendations from the local authority having jurisdiction,
the certifi ed high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of
4% for each additional 1,000ft.
It is highly recommended to protect the logs from moisture (rain,
snow). Cover the fi rebox when not in use.
This fi replace is only for use with the type of gas indicated on
the rating plate. This fi replace is not convertible for use with
other gases, unless a certifi ed kit is used.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5“ water column for natural
gas and 11“ water column for propane. Maximum inlet gas pressure
is 7“ water column for natural gas and 13“ water column for propane.
Manifold pressure under fl ow conditions is 3.5“ water column for
natural gas and 10“ water column for propane.
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is required for the
gas system operation.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down
cycles are normal and are to be expected.
Use only accessories designed for and listed with
your specifi c fi replace.
