Installer: Please leave these instructions with the owner for future
reference.
This unit complies with ANSI Z21.60and CGA 2.26 Decorative Gas
Appliances For Installation In Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces. Do not
burn wood or solid fuels in a replace where a decorative gas log
set is installed. This appliance is for installation only in a solid fuel
burning replace, masonry replace or manufactured replace.
WARNING: Any modication to this gas log set or to controls
can be dangerous. Improper installation or use of the gas log set
can cause serious injury or death from re, burns, explosion or
carbon monoxide poisoning.
1. Please follow all local codes regarding installation, combus-
tion and ventilation air or in the absence of local codes follow
the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1(U.S. installation),
or CAN/CGA-B149, Installation Code (Canada installation).
2. Proper installation, burner pan location and log placement is
important to achieve optimum look and performance of your
gas log set. The logs have been designed for easy location
and placement on the grate and must be followed for proper
operation.
3. Do not operate this log set with glass doors in the closed
position. A replace screen must be in place when the log
set is burning. Adequate combustion air must be provided for
proper venting. All ames should go up and out the top of the
rebox into the ue vent. If any ames oat or curl forward into
the room Check for an open ue
and adequate combustion air into the room. A damper clamp
must be installed on the rebox damper to maintain an open
ue vent condition.
4. Young children must be carefully supervised when they are
in the same room as the gas log while in operation. Do not
place stockings, clothing or any ammable material above or
near the replace.
5. Do not substitute or use materials other than those supplied
for use with the log set.

 Smoking can decrease your
ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your
sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors in
the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor
or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a
gas odor can make it easier to smell.

 For example, if there is an underground leak, the
movement of the gas through soil can lter the odorant. Odorants
in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can occur if
there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into walls,
masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take
some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.
LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could
vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be
more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas
odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately
go into action as instructed earlier.

Dealer can give you a "Scratch and Sniff" pamphlet. Use it to
nd out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect that
your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your LP-Gas
Dealer.
If you are not qualied, do not light pilot lights, perform service,
or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas system. If
you are qualied, consciously think about the odor of LP-Gas
prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service or
making adjustments.
Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty
smell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light
pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an area
where the conditions are such that you may not detect the
odor if there has been a leak of LP-Gas.
Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of
new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people should
be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders
are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new tanks, or
reinstalled old tanks, if they are lled and allowed to set too
long before relling. Cylinders and tanks which have been
out of service for a time may develop internal rust which will
cause odor fade. If such conditions are suspected to exist,
a periodic sniff test of the gas is advisable. 

If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you
think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the
same immediate action recommended above for the occasion
when you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.
If you experience a complete "gas out," (the container is un-
der no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately.
If the container valve is left on, the container may draw in
some air through openings such as pilot light orices. If this
occurs, some new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is
left open, then treat the container as a new tank. Always be
sure your container is under vapor pressure by turning it off
at the container before it goes completely empty or having it
relled before it is completely empty.
Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your
phone. Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do
that IMMEDIATELY.
Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such
as basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak,
keep out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until
reghters declare them to be safe.
Use your neighbor's phone and call a trained LP-Gas service
person and the re department. Even though you may not
continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not
re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
Finally, let the service man and reghters check for escaped
gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly
trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then
check and relight the gas appliance for you.

High Altitude Installation
When installing this unit at an elevation above 2000 feet (in the
United States) it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by
changing the existing burner orice to a smaller size. Generally,
input should be reduced 4 percent for each 1000 feet above sea
level. However, if the heating value of the gas has been reduced,
this general rule may not apply. Check with local gas utility for proper
orice size identication.
For Canadian high altitude applications, this appliance is suitable for
installation at elevations between 0 feet (0m) and 4,500 (1,370m)
without change.
When installing this unit at an elevation above 4500 feet (1,370m)
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper
orice for location.
Turn off gas supply to replace or rebox.
Have the replace oor and chimney professionally cleaned to
remove ashes, soot, creosote or other obstructions.
Have this cleaning performed annually after installation.
Seal any fresh air vents or ash clean-out doors located on oor
or wall of replace. If not, drafting may cause pilot
outage or sooting. Use a heat-resistant sealant. Do not seal
chimney ue damper.

Placement of the glowing embers (rock wool) is very individual and
light coverage of the areas indicated will provide your best effects.
We recommend separation of the rock wool by hand and make your
coverage as light and uffy as possible.
Place just enough embers on the burner to obtain the glow and a
gold, yellow ame.
Do not place embers (rock wool) over large ports in rear portion
of burner.
Rock wool should not be placed in the area of the pilot assembly.

Spread lava rocks on replace oor in front of the burner pan. The
lava rocks are for decorative effect and are not required for replace
operation.
ATTENTION: DO NOT PLACE LAVA ROCKS ON BURNER,
LOGS OR ROCK WOOL. THE LAVA ROCKS SHOULD ONLY
BE PLACED ON THE FIREPLACE FLOOR.
Figure 5
Flames from the pilot (right back side of the pan burner) as well
as the main ame should be visually checked as the log set is
installed.
In normal operation at full rate after 10 to 15 minutes, the ame
appearance should be sets of yellow ames.
NOTICE: all ames will be random by design, ame height will go
up and down.
Avoid any drafts that alter burner ame patterns. Do not allow fans to
blow directly into replace. Do not place a blower inside the burner
area of the rebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter ame
patterns. Sooting and improper burning will result.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components
of this appliance are treated with certain oils, lms or bonding agents.
These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke
and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the
appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This
is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with the burner
at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening
windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining
after this initial break-in will be slight and will disappear with
continued use.

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE
26284-3-0813 Page 11
1. STOP! Read the safety information
above.
2. Set the ON/OFF switch to "OFF."
3. Turn off all electric power to the appli-
ance (if applicable).
4. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn
clockwise
to "OFF."
5. Wait ten (10) minutes to clear out any
gas. Then smell for gas, including near
the oor. If you smell gas, STOP! follow
"B" in the safety information above. If you
do not smell gas, go to the next step.
NOTE: Knob cannot be turned from "PI-
LOT" to "OFF" unless knob is pushed in
slightly. Do not force.
6. Find pilot - follow metal tube from gas
control. The pilot is in front of the middle
log on the right side.
7. Turn gas control knob counterclockwise
to "PILOT."
8. Push in control knob all the way and hold in. Immediately
light the pilot with a match and lighter rod that is provided
with the burner. Continue to hold the control knob in for about
one (1) minute after the pilot is lit. Release knob, and it will
pop back up. Pilot should remain lit. If it goes out, repeat
steps 4 through 8.
If knob does not pop up when released, stop and immediately
call a qualied service technician or gas supplier.
If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas con-
trol knob to "OFF" and call your service technician or gas
supplier.
9. Turn gas control knob counter clockwise
to
"ON."
10. Set the ON/OFF switch to "ON."

Figure 8 shows a correct pilot ame pattern. The correct ame will be blue and will extend beyond the thermocouple/thermopile. The
ame will surround the thermocouple/thermopile just below the tip. A slight yellow ame may occur where the pilot ame and main burner
ame meet.
After use, cleaning of the pilot burner may be required for the proper ame. The pilot orice can be cleaned with high pressure air or by
placing under running water. Pilot orice must be dry before replacement. Use a pipe cleaner to clean inside the pilot after the pilot orice
has been removed.

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring
errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
VSR gas valve does not require 24 or 110 volts. See Figure 10 to

When you ignite the pilot, the thermocouple produces millivolts
(electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve.
After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas
control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow your pilot ame to
operate an additional one (1) to two (2) minutes before you turn the
gas control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This
time period allows the millivolts (electrical current) to buildup to a
sufcient level allowing the gas control to operate properly.

The valve regulator controls the burner pressure which should be
checked at the pressure test point. Turn captured screw counter

A vented replace venting system is designed and constructed
to develop a positive ow adequate to remove ue gases to the
outside atmosphere.
Any foreign objects in the venting system, may cause spillage of
the ue gases into the room.
Periodic examination and/or cleaning of the venting system of the
solid-fuel burning replace must be done by a qualied service
person. Visually inspect the damper and ue area for excessive
soot build-up. This soot (carbon) may be removed by brushing with
a soft bristle brush.

a. Defective pilot generator (thermopile), remote wall switch.
Check pilot ame. Must impinge on thermopile. Clean

thermopile.
Be sure wire connections from thermopile at gas valve
terminals are tight and thermopile is fully inserted into
pilot bracket.
One of the wall switch wires may be grounded. Remove
wall switch wires from valve terminals if pilot now stays
lit, trace wall switch wiring for ground. May be grounded
to appliance or gas supply.
Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading at
thermopile terminals of gas valve. Should read 325 mil-
livolts minimum while holding valve knob depressed in pilot
position and wall switch "Off." Replace faulty thermopile
if reading is below specied minimum.
b. Defective automatic valve operator — Turn valve knob to
"On." Place wall switch to "On" millivolt meter should read
greater than 100 M.V. If the reading is okay and the burner
does not come on, replace the gas valve.
c. Defective thermopile.
Check all connections and try.
If still not operating, disconnect lead between thermo-
couple switch and valve operator. Then disconnect lead
to pilot magnet and connect to valve operator terminal
(TP, TH). If pilot remains lit fault lies with thermocouple.
Check that bulb is in proper location. If still not working
replace thermocouple (see drawing in manual for ad-
ditional information).
