IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (Cont.)
CAUTION: Installation and repair must be done by an NFI Certifi ed or other qualifi ed professional installer. Installer:
Carefully read these instructions before installing this gas appliance. Be sure you understand all safety
precautions and warnings contained in this manual.
A. This appliance is designed as an attended appliance. Adults must be present when this gas appliance is operating.
Do not leave this unit burning when unattended or while anyone is sleeping.
B. This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is NOT CONVERTIBLE
for use with other gasses.
C. BE CAREFUL: If not installed, serviced, and used correctly per these instructions, this product can cause
serious personal injury, property damage, or loss of life.
PRE-INSTALLATION AND FIREPLACE PREPARATION SAFETY GUIDELINES
D. WARNING:
E. CHECK GAS TYPE (natural or propane): The gas supply must be the same as stated on the burner system rating
plate. If gas supply is different, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact the dealer for immediate assistance.
F. Any outside air ducts and/or ash dumps located on the fl oor or walls of the fi replace must be permanently sealed shut
before the installation. Use a heat-resistant sealant. Do not seal the chimney fl ue damper.
G. The minimum inlet gas-supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment is 5" water column (w.c.) on natural gas and
10" water column on propane gas. Insuffi cient gas pressure will affect proper operation of the pilot. Do not install this
gas appliance if minimum pressure is not available. The maximum inlet gas-supply pressure is 10.5" w.c. on natural
gas and 13" w.c. on propane gas. The propane source must be regulated. (Do not connect this appliance directly to
an unregulated propane gas tank - this can cause an explosion.)
H. The gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure at the maximum fl ow rate (BTU/hr). Undue
pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small, or the run is too long.
I. The minimum clearance from the fi replace opening to combustible materials on side walls and ceiling must be maintained
as outlined in MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES - WALLS AND CEILING.
J. At least 10"-12" of noncombustible or heat-resistant material is required above the fi replace. A fi replace hood will
be required to act as a heat defl ector in protecting combustible fi replace surrounds (facing and/or mantel) if certain
minimum clearances cannot be met.
K. Be certain that combustible fl ooring material (i.e., carpet, tile, etc.) is not too close to this gas appliance. If this appliance
is at fl oor level or less than 6" above the fl oor, there must be at least 12" of noncombustible material between the base
of the fi replace and any combustible fl ooring.
L. Input ratings shown in BTU per hour are for elevations up to 2,000 ft. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, or contact
the Robert H. Peterson Company before installing this product at elevations above 2,000 ft.
M. The gas appliance and its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas-supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system, as required by NFPA 54.
Before installing in a solid-fuel-burning fi replace, the chimney fl ue, damper, and fi rebox must be thoroughly
CLEANED of soot, creosote, ashes, and loose paint and inspected by a qualifi ed chimney cleaner. Some
older fi replaces may need repair prior to installing this appliance.
