Existing Gas Supply
-Before interrupting the existing gas supply it is recommended that the following be checked.
-Shut down all gas appliances and carry out a pressure test to insure there are no leaks in the system.
-Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double check that the appliance you have
purchased is designed for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are located on the certification
label and also on the appliance’s gas valve.
-Check the gas pressure immediately upstream to insure you will be able to supply the minimum inlet
pressure for the appliance. Check your pipe sizing to insure sufficient volume will be supplied to the
appliance
.
Gas Supply Installation
-Provide adequate clearance for the proper installation and checking of the gas connection.
-Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the gas fireplace. The line must be
properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. Upstream of the appliance supply connection,
the fitter shall provide an easily accessible manual shut-off valve.
-The gas supply pipe should enter the appliance case through the opening at the right side. The supply
pope should be connected to the appliance gas inlet pipe situated at the rightside of the control unit. Supply
line connection to the inlet pipe is 3/8 NPT.
-Use only new black iron or steel pipes or copper tubing if acceptable - check local codes.
Note that in the USA copper tubing must be internally tinned for protection against sulfur
compounds.
-Unions in gas should be of ground joint type. Sealant used must be resistant to the action of all gas
constituents including LP gas. Sealant should be applied lightly to male threads to ensure excess sealant
Planning
Pressure testing the supply line for leaks
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½ psig (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply pipping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa). Failure to do
so will damage the appliance’s gas valve. Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
When testing for leaks
-Make sure that the appliance is turned off.
-Open the manual shut-off valve.
-Test for leaks by applying a liquid detergent or soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate a gas leak.
-Correct any leak detected immediately.
-Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
The pressure test tapping locations are built-in, non-adjustable regulator that controls the burner manifold
pressure. The correct pressure range is shown in the table in the specification section of this manual. The
pressure check should be made with the burner lit.
See lighting instruction section for full operating details.

control covers to make sure they are attached and
fastened properly.
Caution: Do not turn the unit off and on again
without a minimum of a 60 second wait.
Important - Glass Cleaning - Mineral Deposits
One of the by-products of the combustion process in
a gas appliance is a mineral which can show up as a
white film on the ceramic glass of the viewing door.
The composition of the deposit varies widely from
various locations and also from the time in the same
location. You may have the problem for a time and
then not see it again for months when it will
reappear in your area. It seems this is associated
with the varying sulfur content of the gas. We have
this problem with ceramic glass manufacturers and
they cannot give us a definitive answer to this
problem. Dealers have tried various cleaning
products with varying results. The following
recommendations will not guarantee results in your
particular case.
Note: This is a problem beyond FDMCo’s control
and is not covered under warranty.
1. Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice
the buildup, (white film). If the film is left for a longer
period of time, build up will bake on. Once baked, it
is much harder, if not impossible, to remove.
2. Never use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic
glass. Any abrasion of the surface has the
immediate effect of lessening the strength of the
glass. An emulsion type cleaner is recommended.
3. Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry
the glass with a soft dry and preferably cotton cloth.
Most paper towels and synthetic materials are
abrasive to ceramic glass and should be avoided.
4. Our dealers have had good results from the
products listed below. We cannot however
guarantee the results of these products.

Cold Weather Operation
When using any gas appliance (LPG or NAT Gas)
water is a byproduct of the combustion process.
Under normal conditions, this is expelled through the
vent into the atmosphere and does not cause any
harm. In extremes of cold weather however, the
vapors may condense and freeze on any exposed
surface it comes into contact with. This can cause a
problem by restricting or blocking the vent,
particularly with direct vent wall terminations as the
exhaust is only a few inches away from the outside
wall surface. What happens to the moisture after it
leaves the vent cannot be controlled by the
manufacturer. To extend the vent further out from
the wall can sometimes be an advantage. Extending
the vent out from the wall can present other design
problems such as ice falling from the eaves above.
It is the home owners responsibility to ensure that
there is not an excessive build-up of ice on the
termination.
Caution: When operating your appliance during
cold weather, you must frequently check the
exhaust cap for excessive ice build-up.
Operating Your Fire
The operating instructions are also on a chained
plate inside the control access door. For your safety,
this appliance is fitted with a flame supervision
device which will shut off the gas supply if for any
reason, the pilot flame goes out. This device
incorporates a fixed probe, which senses the heat
from the pilot flame. If the probe is cool, the device
will prevent any gas flow unless the burner control
knob is kept pushed in at the “PILOT” position.
When first turned on, the decorative flames will
appear predominantly blue. After approximately 15
minutes, the flames will turn yellow.

Trouble Shooting
Please check to make sure the instructions are followed exactly before attempting trouble shooting of the
appliance.
Warning: Trouble shooting and servicing of gas and electrical devices of the appliance should only be
conducted by a qualified service technician.
Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors cause improper
and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
Problem
Pilot will not light after
pressing the sparker
many times.
Pilot will not remain
on after being lit.
Possible Cause
Air in gas line.
No gas supply.
Piezo wire loose
Defective Piezo
Piezo wire grounding
Electrode grounding
Electrode gap incorrect
Poor Pilot flame
Faulty Thermopile
Faulty Thermocouple
Loose TP-THTP wire on
gas valve
Faulty gas valve
Faulty wall or unit on/off
switch
Corrective Action
Purge air from gas line.
Check to make sure the gas supply to the appliance is
turned on and there is adequate gas supply pressure to
the appliance.
Check for sparks between the spark electrode and the
pilot head when the sparker is pressed. If there are no
sparks:
Check for broken or poor connection from the sparker to
the electrode.
Check for the spark shorting or arcing at other locations.
Check for defective piezo
Check for defective or cracked electrode. With the door
removed, try lighting the pilot with a match.
Note: If there is no gas or air coming out of the pilot and
there is gas pressure to the appliance, the pilot orifice
may be blocked or the gas valve maybe defective.
Check to see if the pilot flame is large enough to reach
and surround the thermocouple. If the flame is too small,
check for correct gas supply pressure. If pressure is
good, adjust the pilot flame size with the adjustment
screw on the valve. If the flame cannot be adjusted,
there might be some debris obstructing the pilot orifice.
Check for correct millivolts at the thermopile. The
thermopile should generate at least 250 mV.
Check for correct millivolts at the thermocouple. The
thermocouple should generate at least 30 mV.
Check for poor connection of the thermocouple and
thermopile to the valve. If readings are correct for the
thermopile and thermocouple, replace gas valve.
Note: This is very rare and faults blamed on the gas
valve are usually incorrect.
Place jumper wire across terminals TP-THTP, if burner
comes on, this will indicate you have a poor connection
or faulty appliance on/off switch, wall switch or wall
thermostat.
