SECTION I SAFETY INFORMATION WARNINGS IMPORTANT: READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE TRYING TO ASSEMBLE, OPERATE, OR SERVICE THE APPLIANCE. IMPROPER USE OF THESE LOGS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM BURNS, FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater serviced.
5. If this heater is used with propane gas, do not place propane supply tank (s) inside any structure. 6. What To Do IF You Smell Gas: Shut off gas supply. - Do not try to light any appliance. - Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building. - Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions. - If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. 7.
21. All heater screens must be kept closed when operating the gas logs. 22. ”WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.” 23. Do not use this heater for burning trash or cooking. Never place matches, paper, garbage, or any other material on top of logs or into the flames. 24. Do not install or operate this heater in areas where impurities in the air exist (such as tobacco smoke or heavy cooking grease).

INSTALLATION OF MODEL 42 (WS) WITH OPTIONAL WOODEN SURROUND (KIT#PAKDM42) 1. When choosing the right location for your heater and wooden surround (mantel) keep the following in mind: NOTE: away Due to high temperatures, this heater should be located out of traffic areas and from furniture and draperies. NOTE: Kit No. (PA KDM42) Optional Wooden Surround (Mantel) for Model 42 (WS).
9. Now you are ready to position the log set. See pages 18, 19, 20. 10. To light the heater, see “Lighting Instructions”, pages 21 through 32. Make sure you have the right gas valve for Natural or LP gas.
PRODUCING ADEQUATE VENTILATION This section is for residential or manufactured (mobile) installation “This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are adequate combustion and ventilation air.” The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE A CONFINED OR UNCONFINED SPACE Use this worksheet to determine if you have confined or unconfined space. SPACE: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms. 1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height). Length x Width x Height =_________cu.ft.(volume of space) EXAMPLE: 20 ft.(Length) x 16 ft.(Width) x 8 ft.
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See “Ventilation Air From Inside Building”, figure 6. B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See “Ventilation Air From Outdoors”, page 16. C. Install a lower BTU/Hr heater, if lower BTU/Hr size makes room unconfined. If the actual BTU/Hr used is less than the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconfined space.
VENTILATION AIR FROM OUTDOORS Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor. Connect these items directly to the outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, “Air For Combustion and Ventilation” for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
WARNING: ANY CHANGE TO THIS HEATER OR ITS CONTROLS CAN BE DANGEROUS. GAS CONNECTION Check gas type. Use only the type of gas indicated on the valve rating plate. If the type of gas listed on the plate is not your type of gas supply, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your dealer for proper model. Always use an external regulator for all LP heaters to reduce the supply tank pressure to a maximum of 13" W.C. This is in addition to the regulator furnished with the heater.
GAS PRESSURE CHECK Check the inlet pressure to the burner to ensure that it is as shown in the table below. NOTE: The pressure check point is located on the right side of the valve facing burner, for ITT, and the left side for SIT. The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
NOTE: When operated for the first time, logs may emit a “paper burning” smell. This smell will gradually diminish and will be totally eliminated after the first few hours of operation. Run the gas logs with the flue damper open during this time. Do not use the blower at this time.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION 1. The thermostat control on this heater differs from standard thermostats. Standard thermostats simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater senses the room temperature and adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner. This will increase or decrease the flame height. At times, the room may exceed the set temperature, which will cause the burner to shut off. When room temperature drops below the thermostat setting, the burner will cycle itself on again.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS SIT-MILLIVOLT VALVE 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. If piezo fails, then light the pilot using matches. Refer to the match lighting instructions. B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS 1. STOP! Read the safety information on the reverse side of this label (page 29). 2. Make sure manual shutoff valve is fully closed.

If using unit without wall thermostat place Auto/Off/Manual switch into the manual position. If using wall thermostat place Auto Off Manual Switch into the auto position and place thermostat to a setting higher than the room temperature. 13. “Turn on all electrical power to the appliance.” 14.
MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE 1. If the pilot cannot be lit with the piezo, it can be manually lit with the use of a paper match and a lighter rod. 2. Open access panel door located at bottom front of the appliance. 3. Place the match in the holder and light. With the left hand, turn the control knob counterclockwise to “PILOT”position. Press in gas control knob for fifteen (15) seconds. 4. Use rod to light match and ignite pilot.
FLAME CHECK A periodic check of the flames should be made. The pilot flame should always be present when the gas logs are in operation. See Figure 16. Rear Flames: The flames at the rear or at either side of the top log should be very similar, yellow in color, and should be about 3" to 4" above the large rear log for natural gas logs and about 6" for propane (LP) gas log sets. Front Flame: The flame should be 1-1/2" to 2" high and touch the back of front log. This will produce a red glow on this log.
