Installation

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use only natural gas. If your gas supply is not natural gas, the On/O Safety Pilot Valve Kit (see ACCESSORIES,

page 16) must be installed. A gas supply shuto valve must be installed if the replace does not have one.

VENTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR INSTALLATION

Ensure the replace chimney ue and vent are drafting properly by doing the following:

1. Ignite a rolled newspaper or other paper on one end and place it at the inside front edge of the replace.

2. Watch the smoke and check that the vent is drawing it up the chimney.

3. If the smoke is not drawn up the chimney, extinguish the ame and remove obstructions in the chimney

until it vents properly.

The chimney ue must remain open a minimum of 3" at all times during the operation of this appliance.

Chimney dampers must be xed so that they maintain the minimum permanent vent opening at all times.

Installing a damper clamp to prevent the damper from accidentally closing is recommended (see page 8).

The minimum permanent opening (in square inches) is what must be provided by either the replace chim-

ney or chimney damper to vent the ue gases. The minimum vent opening for dierent chimney heights can

be found on page 6 (Per 1.15.7.; ANSI 1.14.1B).

If the area in which the appliance will be operated does not meet the required volume

for indoor combustion air, combustion and ventilation air must be provided by one

of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas

Code, or applicable local codes.

WARNING

This appliance requires a reliable source of fresh air for adequate combustion and

ventilation. This is essential for the appliance to operate properly and for your own safety.

WARNING

Before installing this appliance in a solid-fuel burning replace, a qualied chimney

cleaner must clean the chimney ue and rebox of ashes, loose paint, soot, and creosote.

Creosote ignites if heated to a high temperature. A dirty chimney ue may distribute soot

within the house. Make sure that the qualied chimney cleaner inspects the chimney ue for damage.

WARNING

Installation (cont.)

PREPARE DAMPER

The chimney damper must be xed open such that it always

maintains the minimum permanent vent opening. To achieve

this, a.) install a screw or bolt in the edge of the damper to

prevent the damper from closing, b.) drill a hole or holes in

the damper blade, or c.) install the provided damper clamp on

the edge of the damper blade (see Figure 2).

NOTE: In the State of Massachusetts, the chimney damper

must be removed or welded in the fully open position.

Installation (cont.)

BEFORE INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

• Turn o the gas supply to the replace or rebox.

• Clean the replace oor and chimney, seal any ash, and

clean out the doors to protect from any down drafts.

INSTALLATION AND GAS CONNECTION* (See Fig. 6 & 7)

1. Place the burner pan assembly in the center of the replace

oor. The front of the pan must face forward.

2. Install the 3/8" orice tting onto the burner inlet tting using

thread sealant on male threads of the burner inlet tting.

3. If the gas supply has an equipment shuto valve within

reach of lighting the log set, then thread the 1/2" connector

to the shuto valve. Use thread sealant.

4. If the gas supply does not have an equipment shuto valve

within reach, a manual gas valve is provided. Connect the

manual gas valve to gas supply pipe. Use thread sealant.

5. Attach the gas ex tube to the gas supply. Shape the tube

to attach to the orice tting.

CONNECTION TO GAS SUPPLY

Installation Items Needed:

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to natural gas)

• equipment shuto valve

• test gauge connection

Installation must include an equipment shuto valve, union,

and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate the NPT tap within reach

for test gauge hook up. The NPT tap must be upstream from

the appliance (see Figure 7).

* In compliance with ANS Z21.60•CSA2.26 and National Fuel Gas Code, Section 6.

Before installing the appliance, have the

fireplace and chimney professionally cleaned

to remove any soot, creosote, ashes, or other

obstructions. Perform this cleaning annually after installation.

WARNING

A qualified service person must connect the

appliance to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

WARNING

Only use a new black iron or steel pipe.

Internally-tinned copper tubing may be

used in certain areas. Check local codes. To allow proper gas

volume to the appliance, use a pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater.

Loss of pressure occurs if the pipe is too small.

CAUTION

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• adjustable (crescent)

wrench or pliers

IMPORTANT: Install the equipment shuto valve

in an accessible location. The equipment shuto

valve is used for turning on or shutting o the

gas to the appliance.

Lightly apply pipe joint sealant to the male

threads. This prevents excess sealant from going

into the pipe. A clogged burner injector may

result from excess sealant in the pipe.

Install the sediment trap in the supply line (see

Fig. 7). Locate the sediment trap so it can easily

be cleaned and where trapped material is unlike-

ly to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and

contaminants, keeping them from going into the

appliance controls. The appliance may not oper-

ate correctly if the sediment trap is not installed

or is installed incorrectly.

incorrect burner ame pattern results in irregular burning ames. A correctly burning ame will not be dark

or have an orange/reddish hue.

Note: When using the appliance the rst time, the ame will be orange for about one hour until the log cures.

Do the following if the burner ame is incorrect:

1. Turn o the appliance (see TO TURN OFF GAS TO THE APPLIANCE, page 13).

2. See the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE, page 17.

BURNER ORIFICE HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE

The primary air inlet holes provide the proper amount of air for mixing with the gas, which creates a clean

burning ame. These holes must be kept free of lint, dust, dirt, pet hair, and other debris. Before each heat-

ing season, clean these holes—blocked air holes create soot. The appliance should be cleaned approximate-

ly every three months during operation and inspected yearly by a qualied service person.

During operation, keep the vicinity of the appliance clear of debris, which may create a hazard.

Keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust, dirt, lint, and other debris. Use compressed

air of 30 PSI or less to clean these parts. Follow all the directions on the packaging/can when using com-

pressed air. Improperly using compressed air may damage the pilot assembly.

Care and Maintenance (cont.)

Note: Only a qualied service person should clean the venting system and the solid fuel-burning replace.

At the beginning of each season, check the system as follows:

1. Check the chimney ue/vent pipe to ensure that the ue is drawing properly. This also checks if the vent

pipe connections are tight.

2. Check that the chimney/vent termination has no blockages.

3. Check the chimney and/or vents for creosote and soot build-up. Clean if necessary.

4. If applicable, inspect the burners and pilot.

The burner system has been previously adjusted for proper operation at the factory. No adjustment is nec-

essary, other than altitude de-rating or pilot ame. De-rating for altitude should be performed by a qualied

service person.

SOOTING AND CLEANING LOGS

Some sooting of the appliance is normal, which adds to the appearance of real burned wood. If excessive

sooting occurs and accumulates, the logs can be cleaned using either of the following options:

A. Spray the logs with clean water while they are hot and burning. The soot will burn and lift o.

B. Brush the soot o with a sti brush while the logs are cool. While using a brush, do not use water or soot cleaners.

ACCESSORIES

Purchase these replace accessories from your local dealer. If they cannot supply these accessories, contact

the Pinnacle Climate Technologies customer service department at (866) 676-1636. for more information.

NOTE: Moisture may cause the granules and Glowing Embers in your burner pan to settle. To return the

ame to its original condition and improve the burn, follow these tips:

A. Settling of Vermiculite: With a screwdriver or at-blade knife, carefully stir the granules to loosen the

material. Clean any spills.

B. Embers: Break up any clumps. Inspect the control and pilot to be sure they are clear of dirt, lint, or other debris.

Safety Pilot/LP Conversion Kit (REM-LPK100A)

Required for propane/LP installation.

Vermiculite (REM-VER100A)

Helps spread gas evenly throughout

the burner pan, creating a fuller ame

pattern. Also doubles as an ash bed.

Lava Rock (REM-LAV100A)

Adds to the appliance’s realism by creat-

ing a realistic-looking rock bed for vented

or vent-free gas logs. Can be used as a

replacement or for rst-time use.

Glowing Ember Fibers (REM-GLW100A)

Imitates a glowing bed of ashes found in

a wood-burning re, which adds to the

realism of the appliance.

Troubleshooting Guide

Turn o and let the appliance cool before servicing. Only a qualied service person

should service and repair the appliance.

WARNING

Problem Possible Cause Solution
