NOTE: A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN 
MUST PERFORM THIS PROCEDURE! 
 
The supply line pressure is tested to ensure 
is meets minimum pressure requirements, as 
listed in the Specifications sections of this 
manual, for the type of fuel in use (NG or 
LP).  
 
The unit must be isolated from the gas 
supply piping system by closing its 
individual manual shutoff valve during any 
pressure testing of the gas supply piping 
system at test pressures equal to or less than 
½ psig. 
 
 During tests in excess of ½ psig (14” w.c.), 
the heater must be disconnected from the 
gas supply system. Test by connecting a 
manometer to the supply line. Adjust the 
incoming pressure, if necessary, to meet the 
required supply line pressure.  
 
Once connected to the gas supply, the gas 
inlet pressure and manifold gas pressure 
must be tested. The gas inlet tap (6) and 
manifold  pressure tap (7) is located on the 
control valve (see Figure 14). Connect a 
manometer to the test points on the gas  
control valve. 
 
NOTE:  For installations from 610-1370 
meters (2000-4500ft), the orifice sizes 
(DMS) for natural and propane gas are 32 
and  49 respectively.  (Cet appareil est 
equipé pour des altitudes compries entre  
2000 et 4500 pieds (610-1370m) seulement.) 
See data plate for additional information. 
For high altitude installations consult the 
local gas distributor or the authority having 
jurisdiction for proper rating methods.  If the 
unit must be adjusted, the information 
sticker (provided with the high altitude kit) 
must be filled out completely and mounted 
to the unit per the instructions provided with 
the kit. 
 
CAUTION: Fragile!   Handle log set with

LACEMENT
 
Only the decorative ceramic fiber log set 
supplied with the unit should be placed in 
the firebox. Do not place any other ceramic 
logs, wood logs, or other materials in the 
firebox.  If the log set is damaged or broken 
contact your dealer for replacement.  The 
decorative ceramic fiber log set will last a 
long time, however, they will break if 
subjected to rough or improper handling. 
Exact positioning of the log set is required in 
order to obtain a pleasing flame pattern and 
efficient combustion.  Incorrect log 
placement may cause carbon build-up; 
excess thermal stress on the log set and 
stove parts, reduced efficiency, and high 
levels of carbon monoxide. If the log set 
does not set into the firebox exactly as 
outlined, contact your dealer for assistance.
