Installation manual

29
If it is determined that a restrictor is needed or restrictor modification is required after termination is installed, access can be reached
through the fireplace baffle. Please remove logs and optional refractory (if installed) to avoid damaging these components.
1. Remove (4) screws securing baffle. Remove baffle to expose venting.
2. Depending on your specific needs, determined by chart above along with other factors, make necessary modifications.
3. If installation of a restrictor (included in fireplace components packet) is necessary, bend tabs on restrictor to approx. 80 degree angles
to create tension when inserted into exhaust pipe on fireplace. Insert restrictor into 5” exhaust pipe with tabs pointing towards you.
4. If modification is necessary, remove restrictor by pulling it down and out of 5” exhaust pipe.
5. Reinstall baffle, securing with (4) screws previously removed.
6. Reinstall log set and optional refractory kit (if installed).
7. Attach glass frame assembly and light fireplace. Wait 15 minutes before determining if any further modifications are necessary.

FINALIZING THE INSTALLATION
RESTRICTOR USAGE:
Turn fireplace on and allow to burn for 15 minutes.
If flames indicate there is excessive draft (flickering, short flames), a restrictor may be necessary.
If flames indicate insufficient draft (lifting or ghosting flames), a previously installed restrictor may need to be modified or removed.
RESTRICTOR INSTALLATION / MODIFICATION (after termination completion):
RESTRICTOR TROUBLESHOOTING
FLAME APPEARANCE DRAFT PROBLEM RESTRICTOR SOLUTION
Short, flickering Excessive draft - not enough restriction Add restrictor
Lifting or ghosting* Insufficient draft - too much restriction Remove inner ring (s) on restrictor or
remove restrictor
* Improper venting installation may cause flames to lift or “ghost” - a dangerous situation. Inspect flames after installation to ensure proper
performance. If determined that venting is correct, and the restrictor has been removed, yet flames are still lifting or ghosting, shut off gas
supply to fireplace and call a qualified service technician.
