A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. 
When first lighting appliance it will take a short time for 
air to purge from lines. When purging is complete the 
appliance will light and operate normally.
Air only needs to be purged again if gas valve has been 
turned to the OFF position.
WARNING
Fire hazard. 
Do NOT change the valve settings.
•  This valve has been preset at the factory.
•  Changing valve settings may result in fire 
hazard or bodily injury.
WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard
•  Gas build-up during line purge may ignite.
•  Purge should be performed by qualified technician.
•  Ensure adequate ventilation.
•  Ensure there are no ignition sources such as 
sparks or open flame.
WARNING
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
Explosion Risk
Fire Risk
Asphyxiation Risk
•  Check all fittings and connections.
•  Do not use open flame.
•  After the gas line installation is complete, all 
connections must be tightened and checked 
for leaks with a commercially-available, 
non-corrosive leak check solution.  Be sure 
to rinse off all leak check solution following 
testing.
Fittings and connections may have loosened 
during shipping and handling.
NOTE:  A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts 
approved) 1/2 inch (13mm) T-handle manual shut-off valve and 
flexible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 inch (13mm) 
control valve inlet. 
•  If substituting for these components, please consult local 
codes for compliance.
NOTE:  The gap between the supply piping and gas access 
hole may be  plugged with non-combustible insulation to prevent 
cold air infiltration.
C. Gas Connection 
NOTE:  Have the gas supply line installed in accordance with 
local building codes, if any.  If not, follow ANSI Z223.1.  Instal-
lation should be done by a qualified installer approved and/or 
licensed as required by the locality.  (In the Commonwealth of 
Massachusetts, installation must be performed by a licensed 
plumber or gas fitter.)
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior 
to and after starting the fireplace.
Before making the gas connection, ensure that the appliance 
you are installing is designed for the type of gas being 
supplied.  This information can be found on the Ratings Label 
under the appliance.  If the appliance has been converted to 
propane (LP), the valve cover should have a label stating 
that the unit has been converted to propane.
Connect the gas line at the 3/8 in. (9.5mm) pipe connector 
on the valve at the back of appliance.   We recommend 
connecting the appliance with an approved flex gas line. 
 
If flex gas lines are not approved in your area, you must 
connect a hard pipe to the gas hookup.  
You must supply a manual shut-off valve in a visible location 
within 3 feet (914mm) of the appliance.
WARNING
Gas Leak Risk.
•  Support control when attaching pipe to 
prevent bending gas line. 
Omni-Test Laboratories listed gas appliances are tested 
and approved without requiring changes for elevations 
from 0 to 2000 feet in the U.S.A. and 0 to 4500 feet in 
Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000 
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by 
changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input 
rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a 
2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A.  If the heating value of the 
gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply. To identify 
the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet 
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
