Leak Testing Procedure
Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the gas supply cylinder
has been disconnected or not. In addition, whenever the gas cylinder
is connected to the regulator or whenever any part of the gas system
is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your replace
or repit outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never smoke or permit
sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use a
ame, such as a lighted match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy
water.
Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray 1.
bottle one part liquid soap to one part water.
Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position.2.
Turn on the gas.3.
On natural gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the burn-
er.
On LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise
one turn to open.
Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas 4.
delivery system. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates
that a leak is present.
Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing the faulty 5.
part with a replacement part recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged. The
cylinder must be replaced.
Turn the control knob back to the full OFF position.6.
If you are unable to stop a leak:
Turn the control knob back to the full OFF position.1.
Shut off the gas supply to the replace or repit and release pres-2.
sure in the hose and manifold by turning the control valve one
quarter turn counter-clockwise.
On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the replace or repit.3.

structed and marked in accordance with the specications for LP-gas
cylinders as required by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
or the CAN/CSA B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transpor-
tation of Dangerous Goods.
Manifold Pressure: For plumbed-in LP installation, use a regulator.
Supply Pressure: Maximum line pressure for plumbed-in propane is
14” W.C psi (3.5 kPa). Minimum line pressure for propane is 11” W.C.
Pressure Regulator: The unit must be used with the gas pressure
regulator. The regulator will control and maintain a uniform gas pres-
sure in the manifold. The burner orice has been sized for the gas
pressure delivered by the regulator.
Cylinder Specication: Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this
repit or replace must be approximately 12 inches in diameter and
18 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or
5 gallons. Full cylinder weight should be approximately 38 lbs. (43.7
lbs. nominal water capacity.) Always use the cylinder dust cap on the
cylinder valve outlet during transport and when the cylinder is not
connected to the repit or replace.
Transporting Gas Cylinder: Only one cylinder should be transport-
ed at a time. Transport cylinder in an upright and secure manner with
control valve turned off and the dust cap in place.
Enclosures: Ensure cylinder valves are always readily accessible. A
door on the enclosure to gain access to the cylinder valve is accept-
able, provided it is non-locking and can be opened without the use of
tools.
If you build an enclosure for an LP gas cylinder, follow these recom-
mended specications and follow local codes.

High Elevation Installation
Your replace or re pit is approved for elevations up to 4500 feet in
the US and Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet in the
US, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the
existing burner orice to a smaller size. Reduce the input by 4% for
each 1,000 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas
has been reduced, in which case this general rule will not apply. To
identify the proper orice size, check with your local gas utility.
When installing this unit at an elevation above 4,500 feet in Canada
check with your local authorities. Consult the local gas utility for assis-
tance in determining the proper orice for your location.

Lighting Your Wood Burning Fireplace
Your wood burning replace is designed to use a grate to hold the
wood to be burned approximately 2”-3” off the base. This allows air to
get to the bottom of the wood and gives room for ash to accumulate.
Do not attempt to burn wood in your appliance without a proper grate
installed.
WARNING: Never use liquids such as gasoline or lighter uid in a
wood burning replace. Serious injury can occur.
Have several sizes of wood available. Small pieces will be needed to
start the re, some medium sizes and nally larger logs that will burn
for a longer period of time. Make sure all logs are small enough to t
entirely into the replace or repit. If the wood is too large, cut or split
it until it will t into the enclosure.
Wad up some dry newspaper and put it under the grate but be 1.
carefull of ash that may be under grate from a previous re.
Put small pieces of wood over the newspaper, on the grate. Small 2.
wood should not be more than 1/2” thick and 1” wide. Smaller
wood will burn easier and make the re easier to start. Make sure
to leave room for air to circulate around the small pieces of wood.
On top of the small pieces of wood put a few medium sized pieces 3.
of wood. These pieces can be from 1” to 2” thick but should not
block airow around the small pieces.
Light the newspaper under the grate in several places. As wood 4.
begins to burn, add more medium sized pieces one at a time until
a good coal base is formed. At this time you can add larger pieces
of wood. Always make sure there is sufceint room for air to ow
around the wood that is added or you may smother your re.
Warning! Never leave a burning replace or repit unattended!

Cleaning and Maintenance

Inspect the appliance before initial use. Clean the appliance at least
annually and have it inspected by a qualied eld service person.
Periodically remove the logs and examine the burner. If the burner is
dirty, clean it with a soft wire brush. Also examine the area around
the burner air shutter. Remove any dirt or debris in this area. This will
ensure long life and trouble-free operation.
Periodically check the hose connecting the LP gas cylinder to ensure it
is not damaged in any way.
Carbon (soot) may build up on the surfaces of the logs with heavy use.
This is more likely to occur with LP gas. Clean soot off the surface of
the logs periodically to prevent excessive buildup.
To clean the logs, be sure the re is out, the gas supply is turned off
and the logs are cool to the touch. The soot can then be brushed of
with a dry bristle brush or cloth. Take care while cleaning the logs as
they can become damaged if mishandled.
Periodically check the hose connecting the LP gas cylinder to ensure it
is not cracked or damaged in any way. All natural gas hook-ups should
be serviced and inspected only by qualied installers only.
The easiest way to clean the repit or replace is to let the repit/
replace cool completely off.
With a wood burning replace, remove the steel grate and sweep •
out the ashes and leftover kindling.
With a gas repit or replace, spray the enclosure off with water. •
Note: Do NOT spray water directly onto the burner and pilot light
of the gas replace.
When not in use and after cooling, cover your repit with our full
length, zippered side canvas cover. The cover will help protect your
repit/replace from detrimental effects of weather and environmental
pollutants (see your local Cal Flame dealer for details).
Before installing the cover make sure the unit is shut off, that the gas
lines are disconnected and that the unit has had sufcient time to cool.
Install the cover and use the tie-down straps to secure it tightly to the
unit to prevent the wind from blowing it off.
