BEFORE FULLY INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
• Turn off the gas supply to the fireplace or firebox.
• Seal any fresh air vents and/or ash clean-out doors located on
the floor or wall of the fireplace. If left unsealed, drafting may
cause pilot outage or sooting. Use a heat resistant sealant. Do
not seal the chimney flue damper.
Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the chimney flue
and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose
paint by a qualified chimney cleaner.
You must secure the gas log heater to the fireplace floor. If not,
the entire unit may move when you adjust the controls. Movement
of unit may cause shifting of the gas logs which leads to sooting
and improper burning. Grate movement could cause a gas leak.
Special care is required if you are installing the unit into a sunken
fireplace. You must raise the fireplace floor to allow access to gas
log controls. This will insure adequate air flow and guard against
sooting. Raise the fireplace floor using non-combustible materials.

Assembly Procedure
(Figure 10)
1. Center the gas log unit in the fireplace or firebox. Make certain
the front feet of the grate sit inside the front edge of the
fireplace or firebox.
2. An anchor hole is provided in the two bottom side members of
the grate frame. After centering the grate correctly, mark the
hole positions on the fireplace/firebox floor. Drill two (2) 3/16"
diameter holes approximately 1-1/2" deep for masonry screws
or 1/8" holes for sheet metal screws.
3. Anchor the grate to the fireplace/firebox floor using the screws
provided. Refer to Figure 10.
Proper installation of the grate is essential to prevent any move-
ment of the gas logs and controls during operation.
