K. Inspect the Venting System
The replace venting system is designed and constructed to
develop a positive ow adequate to remove ue gases to the
outside atmosphere. See replace installation instructions.
Note: The state of Massachusetts requires that the
chimney ue damper, when used with gas logs, be welded
open or completely removed. In the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts this appliance must be installed by a
licensed plumber or gastter.
L. Damper Stop Installation Instructions
Included in the burner assembly box is a damper stop clamp
which attaches to the damper as shown (Figure 8). Install
the clamp to the damper ensuring that the minimum require-
ments (Tables 1 and 2) are achieved. Use a 7/16 in. wrench
to secure the clamp to the damper. If the damper clamp pro-
vided does not t your application, other means of securing
the proper opening must be provided by the installer.
Possible cures if spilling occurs:
• The damper needs to be opened further.
• The replace opening needs to be reduced by adding a
drop panel across the top under the lintel.
• The air supply from outdoors needs to be increased. Open
the outside air kit if the appliance is so equipped, or crack
open a door or window.
• If necessary, seek expert advice. Do not operate this
appliance.
A spillage test must be made before the installed
appliance is left with the consumer.
• Close all doors and windows in the home.
• Light the log set (see Lighting Instructions).
• After three minutes, test with a smoke match, smoke
candle, stick incense or cigarette 1 in. below the top of
the opening (lintel) moving across the full width. If spillage
(smoke down into the room) occurs, it will most likely be
near the top, outside corners.
• Logs can get very hot. Handle only when they are
cool.
