Inlet and outlet pressure taps are provided on the front face
of the gas control for a test gauge connection to measure

crack open the screw in the center of the tap. Position a
rubber hose over the tap to obtain the pressure reading.
THE FIREPLACE AND ITS INDIVIDUAL SHUT-OFF
VALVE MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE GAS
SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM AND ISOLATED DURING ANY
PRESSURE TESTING OF THE SYSTEM AT TEST
PRESSURES EQUAL TO OR IN EXCESS OF ONE-HALF
(1/2) PSIG (3.5 KPA).
NOTE: Electrical wiring must be installed by a li-

Wall Switch
Position the wall switch in the desired position on the wall.
An assembly of 18 ft of 20 AWG is provided with the appli-
ance to connect the wall switch to the appliance. Instead of
the supplied assembly, wire with a length of 25 ft or less and
a gauge of 20 AWG through 14 AWG is acceptable. The
wire needs a jacket with a temperature rating of 140
o F (60 o C)
or higher. At the appliance connect the wire to the ON/OFF
switch pigtails.
CAUTION: LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNEC-
TION WHEN SERVICING CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS
CAN CAUSE IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS OPERATION.
VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING.

Step 6. Wiring the Fireplace
• This appliance REQUIRES 110-120 VAC to operate. It is
equipped with a blower.
!
WARNING: MUST USE THE CORD SUPPLIED
WITH THE J-BOX.
Use of the electrical junction box provided is required if
using a blower or remote. Plug the cord into a convenient
outlet. An electrician may install an outlet box inside the
fireplace. Place the outlet in the lower, back corner of the
fireplace. Make sure fan doesn’t touch back wall. Optional
remote controls are available and should be installed along
the side of the insert (see Step 2. Positioning, Leveling and
securing the Insert).
