OPERATION / MAINTENANCE 15

Purge all gas lines with the glass door open. As- sure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before closing the door. Allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.

MODEL GS28 ONLY: SPILL SWITCH

This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back of the chimney adapter, which senses the change in temperature and shuts down the gas valve in the event of a severe downdraft of air or a blocked or disconnected vent. It acts as a safety shutoff to prevent a build up of carbon monoxide or an explosion of unburnt gases dur-

ing start up. If the flue is blocked or has no "draw", the spill switch will automatically shut off the supply of gas within about 5-10 minutes.

TAMPERING WITH THE SWITCH CAN RESULT IN CAR- BON MONOXIDE (CO) POISONING AND POSSIBLE DEATH.

MODEL GS28 ONLY: VENTING ACTION

CHECK

A check for correct venting action must be made before the installed stove is left with the customer. Test in the following manner:

1. Close all doors and windows in the room / start exhaust fans in the home / turn fire-

place blower off (if equipped).

2. Set controls to "high" and light

the unit.

 

3. Wait 5 minutes. Light a match

 

and extend it 1" into the hole located

 

above the spill switch bracket on the

 

adapter.

 

4. Venting action is satisfactory if

 

the flame stays lit. Venting action is

unsatisfactory if the flame extin-

guishes.

 

5.If venting action is unsatisfactory, turn the unit off, wait 10 minutes and try again. If the match does not stay lit, turn the unit off and check for vent blockage or restric- tion. If necessary, consult with a qualified inspector.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top left corner on models GDS28 and GS28.

When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the curing of the logs and the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again. Simply open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room. After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions ex- actly, a fire or explosion may result causing property

damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A. This fireplace is equipped with a pilot which must be lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.

B. Before operating smell all around the fireplace area for gas and next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob / manual shutoff knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a qualified service tech- nician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

D. Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the fireplace and replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

•Turn off all gas to the fireplace.

•Open windows.

•Do not try to light any appliance.

•Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.

•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de- partment.
