Connection to Gas Supply
1. Place the burner assembly (grate and control
package) in the fireplace. Center the assembly front
to back and side to side.
2. Install the gas supply fitting to the gas supply pipe.
Use pipe thread sealing compound, or Teflon tape,
on the iron pipe threads only. Do not use on flared
threads.
3. Connect the burner assembly to the gas supply with
the aluminum gas line connector. Attach one end of
the aluminum connector to the gas supply fitting and
the other end to the flared elbow at the back of the
control valve.
Log Placement
NOTE: There has been a sheet included in this gas log
set entitled, “Proper Log Placement, Vent-Free Gas
Logs”. This shows the proper log placement for your
vent-free set, depending on your model.
Do not add extra logs to this set. The addition of extra
logs to this set will invalidate the CSA certification and
void any product warranty.
Lava Rock Placement
Sprinkle the lava rock on the floor of your fireplace
around, not on, the burner assembly. Be careful to keep
the lava rock away from the burner assembly. Lava rock
is only for a decorative purpose and is not to interact at
all with the burner.
IMPORTANT: Lava rock is for decorative purposes
only. Do not let lava rock interfere with burner
assembly. Putting lava rock onto the burner can
create carbon monoxide and a hazardous situation.
Lighting Sequence
FOR YOUR SAFETY - READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY
RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE
A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions
exactly.

some gas is heavier than air and will settle to the floor.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
D. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn
by hand, do not try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Forcing the knob or attempting repair may
result in a fire or explosion.
E. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace any part of this control system and any gas control which has been under
