PRE-INSTALLATION AND FIREPLACE PREPARATION SAFETY GUIDELINES

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: 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.

E. CHECK GAS TYPE (natural or propane): The gas supply must be the same as stated on your

burner system rating plate. If gas supply is different, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your 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. INSUFFICIENT GAS PRESSURE WILL KEEP THE PILOT FROM OPERATING PROPERLY. DO

NOT USE IF GAS PRESSURE IS LOWER THAN THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT.

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 (e.g., 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. For elevations above 2,000 ft.,

refer to the National Fuel Gas Code or contact the Robert H. Peterson Company before installing

this product.

M. The gas log set and its 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

psig.

N. The gas log set must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the equipment shutoff

valve connected to the gas supply line during any pressure testing of the gas-supply piping system

at test pressures equal to or less than

psig.
