Burn-in Period
During the first few times of operation of this appliance there will be some
odor due to the curing of the paint and burning off of lubricants used
in the manufacturing process. We recommend that you open windows
and ventilate the house during the initial burns. the paint emits non-toxic
odors during this process.
additionally, these units are design certified by omNi-test laboratories
to aNsi 21.60 / csa 2.26 Decorative appliance. For installation in solid-
fuel burning fireplaces.
as such, these units may be used as a vented gas log set in any wood-
burning fireplace that has been properly constructed to code, and in the
case of factory built fireplaces, installed in compliance with manufacturers
listing and installation instruction.
Depending on your use, the burn-in period may take a few hours or a few
days. also if you have a sensitive sense of smell you may notice slight
odors during operating after the burn-in period is over.
use of the log sets covered by this manual in a properly vented wood-
burning fireplace which has had the damper blocked open as detailed
below, preclude consideration of the combustion and ventilation air and
clearance to combustible restrictions discussed herein.

and are prohibited in New York city.
this heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight
construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion
and ventilation air. the heater may be located in unusually tight construc-
tion provided the space is unconfined, or if confined, is provided with two
permanent openings communicating directly with an additional room(s)
of sufficient volume so that the combined volume of all connected spaces
meets the criteria for an unconfined space, (National Fuel gas code
NFPa 54 / aNsi Z223.1 (latest edition), section on air for combustion
and Ventilation. generally 50 ft3 per 1,000 Btu input of all operating
appliances in the space.
MASSACHUSETTS REQUIREMENTS
these fireplaces are approved for installation in the us state of massa-
chusetts if the following additional requirements are met:
• unvented room Heaters shall be installed in accordance with 527
cmr 30.00 and 248 cmr 3.00 through 7.00:
the National Fuel gas code, aNsi Z223.1/NFPa 54-latest edition defines
a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per
1000 Btu per hour (4.8 m³ per kW) of the aggregate input rating of all
appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as a space
whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu per hour (4.8
m³ per kW) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in
that space.
• installation and repair must be done by a plumber or gas fitter licensed
in the commonwealth of massachusetts
• the flexible gas line connector used shall not exceed 36 inches (92
centimeters) in length.
rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances
are installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered
a part of the unconfined space.
• the individual manual shut-off must be a t-handle type valve.
• Vent-Free appliances may Not be installed in bedrooms or bath-
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:
rooms.
a. Wall and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continu-
ous water vapor retarder with a rating or one perm (6 x 10-11 kg per
pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed;
b. Weather stripping has been added on operable windows and doors;

• a working smoke detector must be installed in the area where vent-
free appliances are installed.
seller of unvented propane or natural gas-fired supplemental room
heaters shall provide to each purchaser a copy of 527 cmr 30 upon
sale of the unit.
Use the following equations to determine if you have a confined or
unconfined space.
1. Determine the volume of space — ft3.
length x Width x Height = _____ ft3
(include adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills
between rooms).
Example: 24' (l) x 16' (W) x 8' (H) = 3072 ft3
2. Divide the volume of space by 50 ft3 to determine the maximum Btu/Hr
the space can support.
(volume of space – ft3) / 50 ft3 = (maximum Btu/Hr the space can
support)
Example: 3072 ft3 / 50 ft3 = 61.44
or 61,440 Btu/Hr the space can support.
3. add the Btu/Hr of all the fuel burning appliances in the space.

• turn off gas supply to the fireplace or firebox.
• Position appliance in fireplace or firebox.
• connect gas line.
• secure appliance.
• operate the appliance and check operation.
• maintain adequate clearances for accessibility for purposes of servicing
and proper operation.
• minimum clearances include any projections such as shelves, window
sills, mantels, spacers/standoffs or surfaces to combustible construc-
tion etc. above the appliance. Paint or lacquer used to finish the mantel
must be heat resistant in order to avoid discoloration.
(actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
the space in the above example is a confined space because the actual
Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
You must provide additional fresh air.
Your options are:
a. rework equations adding the space of adjoining room(s). if the extra
volume provides an unconfined space, then remove door or add ventila-
tion grills between rooms. refer to National Fuel gas code, aNsi Z223.1
- latest edition, section on air for combustion and Ventilation.
b. Vent room directly to the outdoors. refer to National Fuel gas code,
aNsi Z223.1 - latest edition, section on air for combustion and Ven-
tilation.
Check Gas Type
This appliance can only be connected to the gas type specified on the
appliance rating plate. This appliance can not be modified in the field
for a different gas type. If the gas supply differs, DO NOT INSTALL the
appliance. Contact your dealer to obtain the correct appliance.
c. install a lower Btu/Hr appliance, such as a 24,000 Btu/Hr, to make
the area an unconfined space.
if the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space
can support, then the space is an unconfined space. You will need no
additional fresh air ventilation for an unconfined space.

Burner And Flame Characteristics
WARNING
the shadowdance™ gas log set features a new concept in integrated
burner and log design. the flames from the burner travel horizontally
through the log set and emerge at the knot holes.
Failure to position the parts in accordance with Figure
21 or failure to use only parts specifically approved
with this appliance may result in property damage or
personal injury.
the flames are slightly blue off the burner and as they progress through
the log set, they change to a light yellow color. Yellow decorative flames
are visible as the flames exit the log set.
Periodically check the positioning of all logs.
When the log set is first lit, the flame may be entirely blue. light yellow
flame will form at the top of the logs after several minutes of operation.
Flame Appearance
the base of the log set and the underside of the top log glows a brilliant
red. For an example of the log set, see Figure 21.
REFER TO THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LOCATED AT THE BACK
OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE TO OBSERVE
THE FLAMES.
Flames from the pilot burner should be visually checked as soon as the
appliance is installed. in addition a periodic visual check of the flames
should be made. the pilot flame should always be present when the
appliance is in operation (Figure 19).
WARNING
No adjustments are to be made to the ODS
pilot system. Tampering with this system can
be extremely hazardous.

Top Burner Air Shutter Adjustment Procedure
1. if you have blue flame or the top burner is not carrying over and burning
on all ports, the air shutter may need to be adjusted to 1/8" gap for
both Natural and Propane gas.
2. check to see if the air shutter is set to 1/8" opening (see Figure 22).
the air shutter is located on the rear left side of the appliance.
3. if the air shutter opening is more than 1/8" please loosen the air shutter
screw and close completely which will set it to the 1/8" opening.
Note: in some instances, propane appliances may need to be adjusted
from the standard factory setting. Do Not open the air shutter greater
than 1/4".
Figure 19 - Correct Pilot Flame
an incorrect pilot flame pattern is shown in Figure 20. this pilot flame
will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the
log set will shut off. if pilot flame pattern is incorrect, or if log set shuts
off, contact your service technician.

only limited cleaning will be required under the normal use of the appli-
ance. Dust the front grate, the top of the piezo cover and the control knob
occasionally. Do not use cleaning fluids to clean the logs or any other
part of the appliance.
OPERATION AND CARE OF YOUR APPLIANCE
1. Appliance operation may be controlled through the ON/OFF unit
rockerswitch,locatedinthebottomfrontoftheapplianceorthrough
an optional remote control.
2. When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit an odor for an hour
or two. this is due to the “burn-in” of the internal paints and lubricants
usedinthemanufacturingprocess. Forthefirstfewhours, operatethe
appliance with doors and windows open to encourage the dissipation
of odor.
remove the log set, gently handling at each end. use a vacuum cleaner to
remove loose particles from the base and from around the burners. gloves
are recommended to prevent the fibers from pricking your skin. if the skin
is pricked, wash gently with soap and water. replace the log set.
if, after a period of use, the flames start to exhibit unusual shapes and
behavior, if there is any evidence of soot formation, blue tipping of the
flames, or any strong odors, or the burners fail to ignite smoothly, then
the burner holes may require some cleaning. if this happens, it is pref-
erable to contact your nearest authorized service technician to get the
appliance serviced.
CLEANING AND SERVICING
