Gas Plumbed on Left Hand Side of Fireplace

NOTE: Your gas log set is assembled at the factory to be installed in a fireplace plumbed with the gas

on the right side (facing). If your fireplace is plumbed with the gas on the left side, you may remove the

u-burner tube from the burner pan by removing the 3/4” knockout at the left back of the burner pan and

reinstalling the u-burner tube 180 degrees from its original position. You may also run a flexible connec-

tor (or as per local codes) along the back wall of the fireplace to bring your gas line to the right hand

side. You can then place the set in front of the flexible connector.

Damper Stop Installation:

For Use with BR, BC, SR, SC, TF and TL Series CFM Specialty Home Products Fireplaces

This Damper Stop is designed to work on all CFM

Specialty Home Products BR, BC, SR, SC, TF and

TL series fireplaces. For all other fireplaces, refer

to Page 6.

When installing a decorative gas appliance in a

fireplace, some local codes require this Damper

Stop to be used so the Damper will not close

completely. To install the Damper Stop:

The Damper Locking Bracket is already installed

on all BR, BC, SR, SC, TF and TL fireplaces.

Locate the Damper Locking Bracket on the left

side of the fireplace’s Combustion Dome. (Fig. 1)

With the Damper open, align the two slots on

either side of the cut-out on the Damper Stop with

the two small holes on the angled portion of the

Damper Locking Bracket. Attach the Damper Stop

with the Screws provided, as shown in Figure 2.

NOTE: Some of the early fireplace units may not

have the holes in the end of the Damper Locking

Bracket. If this is the case, use the Damper Stop

as a template to drill two (2) 1/8” holes in the

Damper Locking Bracket to mount the Damper

Stop.

Damper Stop Installation:

For Use With All Other Fireplaces

The Damper Stop provided keeps your damper

from accidentally closing during operation of your

set. This Damper Stop must be installed onto

your Damper at all times. NOTE: The damper

clamp is designed to hold the damper plate

open 3 inches. However, the damper must be

fully open when the log set is in operation.

Install the Damper Stop onto the edge of the

damper plate. Attach by securing the bolt pro-

vided to the damper plate with an adjustable

wrench. (Fig. 3)

If the Damper Stop does not fit, drill a 1/4” hole

into the damper plate and install an

anchor bolt with nut, at a 90 degree angle, so that

the damper plate will remain fully open.

The proper finished installation of the Damper

Stop is shown in Figure 4. If the bolt fails to block

the damper in an open position, the damper

should be removed from the chimney.

To check your vent for proper drafting: Light a

tightly rolled newspaper on one end and place it at

the inside front edge of the fireplace. Observe the

smoke and be sure the vent is properly drawing it

up the chimney. If the smoke is drawn

Connection to Gas Supply

1. Place the burner pan in the fireplace. The

burner pan should be located several inches

form the back wall, centered from left to right.

NOTE: This is for burner connection purposes

only. Exact burner placement will be covered on

page 8, after all connections have been made.

2. Attach the gas supply fitting onto your

fireplace’s gas supply pipe. (Fig. 5)

3. Attach one end of the flexible gas connector to

the brass burner inlet fitting which has been

factory installed into the burner.

4. Attach the other end of the gas connector to the

flared side of the gas supply fitting.

Remember to use pipe thread sealant or teflon tape only on the straight pipe threads. Do not use

any on flared ends.

Leak Test Procedures

Create a mixture of equal parts soap and water. Apply to all the joints of the pipe fittings from the gas

supply pipe to the burner. Turn on the gas supply valve for no longer than 3-5 seconds. If bubbles appear in

the soap solution applied to the joints, there is a leak. Turn off gas supply valve and tighten those fittings.

Repeat the above procedure until no bubbles appear in the soap solution. Remember to test all joints.

WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAMETO TEST FOR LEAKS!

NOTE: Always perform a leak test any time the appliance has been moved or disconnected from the gas

supply line.

Adding Pan Material

1. Open the bag of silica sand and spread it

evenly across the burner pan, to the top, as

shown in Figure 6. You may overflow the front

and sides of the pan to cover the entire pan and

connecting hardware. NOTE: Sand is for use

with Natural Gas ONLY! Vermiculite or lava

rock must be used in place of sand for propane

gas. See propane Conversion Kit manual for

details.

2. Next, open the bag of glowing embers and

place them on top of the silica sand evenly

across the burner pan. Be sure to separate

the glowing embers into very small pieces

before placing them onto the silica sand.

Grate and Log Placement

1. Place the grate over the burner pan so the front legs

of the grate are parallel to the front edge of the pan.

(Fig. 7)

2. Place the larger bottom logs onto the grate, leaving

as much space between them as possible. When

burning, the flames should come up directly between

the logs.

3. Place the smaller top logs diagonally onto the

bottom logs. The top logs can be arranged to

achieve your desired flame pattern. Be sure you

leave as much open space between the logs as

possible to minimize flame impingement and

sooting.

4. Open the bag of lava rock and spread the rocks onto

the fireplace floor around the burner pan for decora-

tive purposes.

Attach fettle to front of grate as shown in Figure 8.

FORYOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING: If you do not follow these directions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing

property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

WHAT TO DO IFYOU SMELL GAS

•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

Lighting Instructions

1. Turn the gas shut-off valve to OFF.

2. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you

then smell gas STOP! Follow the safety information

on above. If you do not smell gas, go on to the next

step.

3. Light a match and lay it on top of the pan material,

about 2” from the end of the supply side of the pan.

(Fig. 8)

4. Slowly turn the gas shut-off valve ON until the

burner ignites. If the burner does not ignite within

ten (10) seconds with the match burning, turn the

shut-off valve OFF and repeat steps 1 through 4

again.

WARNING: Flame may flare up when ignited. Keep hands and face away from firebox.

Operation and Maintenance

To Adjust the Flame:

Adjust the flame to the desired level by rotating the gas

valve counterclockwise to open or clockwise

to close.

To Turn the Appliance OFF:

Rotate the gas shut-off valve clockwise to OFF.

Proper Maintenance:

Keep the area around the log set clean and clear of

debris.

Occasionally, you may use a soft bristle brush to clean

logs.

Once every year, a qualified agency or certified chim-

ney sweep should examine and clean the venting

system of the fireplace in which the log set is installed.

Appliance Break-In

During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in period, you may

detect an odor from the appliance as the various water-

based paints used in the manufacture of this log set

cure. This is a normal and temporary situation that is

not a cause for alarm. However, you may want to

provide extra ventilation to the room during this time.

To ensure proper curing of the logs:

1. Ignite a 2” flame and maintain it for 1/2 hour.

2. Burn the logs in consecutive 1/2 hour periods,

raising the flame an additional 2” to full flame height

for a total of three hours.

Troubleshooting

Log Set is Smoking / Sooting Excessively

It is natural and unavoidable for vented gas log sets to produce moderate levels of carbon (soot) where

flame contacts the logs. The logs can be cleaned using a soft-bristle brush. However, if soot is pro-

duced where there is no flame impingement, one of the following may be the cause:

Fireplace venting system not drafting properly: Make sure the damper is wide open at all times.

Preheat the flue in very cold weather by burning the log set at a very low level, then slowly increasing

the flame height over a matter of hours. Have the fireplace and the venting system professionally

cleaned.

Excessive flame impingement or blockage: Make sure there is proper spacing between the logs so

they are not smothering the flame. Rearrange the logs so they are touched less by the flames.

Excessive gas supply/pressure: Make sure the gas pressure coming into the fireplace does not

exceed the maximum pressure allowed with this gas set (refer to Tables on page 4). If you are using the

gas logs with a safety pilot kit, make sure you installed the correct orifice into the set.

Burner is Excessively Noisy

Please Note: The movement and combustion of gas will create low, unavoidable levels of noise.

Excessive gas pressure: Make sure the gas pressure coming into the fireplace does not exceed the

maximum pressure allowed with this gas log set (refer to Table on Page 3). If you are using the gas

logs with a safety pilot kit, make sure you installed the correct orifice into the set.

Passage of air/gas across irregular surfaces: There may be burrs, paint or other blockages on the

burner bar ports. Check these ports and remove any blockage.

Gas Connector: Relieve any tight bends or kinks in the flexible gas connector. Switch to a smooth

aluminum gas connect, which can be purchased at any hardware or home improvement store.

Burner Flame is Too High (8-12” AboveTop Logs) or Too Low (BelowTop Logs)

Incorrect gas supply, pressure or burner orifice used: Make sure the gas pressure coming into the

fireplace falls between the minimum and maximum pressures allowed with this gas set (refer to Table

on Page 3). If you are using the gas logs with a safety pilot kit, make sure you installed the correct

orifice into the set.

Blocked ports (low flame only): Free the main burner orifice and burner bar ports of any burrs, paint

or other blockage.
