MAKE SURE THE FLAMES
ARE STEADY—NOT
LIFTING OR FLOATING.
Installing the Trim
Combustible materials may be brought up to the
specified clearances on the side and top front edges of
the fireplace, but MUST NEVER overlap onto the front
face. The joints between the finished wall and the
fireplace top and sides can only be sealed with a 300°
F. (149° C) minimum sealant.
WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE FIRE-
PLACE, NEVER OBSTRUCT OR MODIFY
THE AIR INLET/OUTLET GRILLES IN ANY
MANNER.
Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as
desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-
combustible materials can be used to cover up the gap
between the sheet rock and the fireplace.
Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles. When
overlapping on both sides, leave enough space so that
the bottom grille can be opened and the trim door
removed.

1.7 INSTALLER TESTING
The space heater must be tested and be operating ac-
cording to manufacturer's specifications prior to the in-
staller leaving the site. Note: the tips of the flames
should never hit the top of the firebox after the unit has
warmed up. Please contact your dealer or a qualified
service person to replace injector or adjust valve.
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small
amount of air will be in the lines. When first lighting the
pilot light, it will take a few minutes for the lines to
purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is com-
plete, the pilot and burner will light and operate as indi-
cated in the Lighting Instructions.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require
such purging.
Follow the Safety Information and Lighting Instructions
pages of this manual to light the appliance.
To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the pi-
lot and main burner flame characteristics are steady,
not lifting or floating. Typically, the top 3/8-inch (10mm)
of the thermocouple should be engulfed in the pilot flame
(see Figure 34).
Burner flame patterns are shown in Figure 35.
Proper gas log positioning is shown in Section 1.8.
Follow Section 3.5 TROUBLESHOOTING for adjusting
the appliance to operate properly.
