OPERATION / MAINTENANCE

When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condi- tion 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.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:

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. Never use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or at- tempted 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.

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.

Purge the gas line with a glass door open. Assure that

acontinuous gas flow is at the burner before re-install- ing the door.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: The gas valve has an interlock device which will not allow the pilot burner to be lit until the thermocou- ple has cooled. Allow approximately 60 seconds for the thermocouple to cool.

When lighting and re-lighting, the gas knob cannot be turned from pilot to off unless the knob is depressed slightly.

1.Stop! Read the above safety information on this label.

2.Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.

3.Turn the gas knob clockwise to off.

4.Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell gas including near the floor. Stop! Follow "B" in the above safety information on this label. If you don't smell gas go the next step.

5. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.

6.Depress slightly and hold gas knob while lighting the pilot with the push button ignitor. Keep knob depressed for one minute, then release. If pilot does not continue to burn, repeat steps 3 through 5.

7.With pilot lit, depress and turn gas knob counter-clock- wise to on.

8.If equipped with remote on-off switch/thermostat, main burner may not come on when you turn valve to on. Remote switch must be in the on position to ignite burner.

MAINTENANCE

Turn off the gas and electrical power before servicing the

fireplace.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic- ing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This fireplace and its venting system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids. The flow of combus- tion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.

1.In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, remove the logs to expose both assemblies.

2.Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter open- ing and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.

3.Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which may not be burning or are not burning prop- erly.

4.Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and reaches toward the burner with the third jet.

5.Replace the cleaned logs.

6.Check to see that the main and runner burners ignite com- pletely on all openings when the gas knob for the burners is turned on. A 5 to 10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your Napoleon dealer / distributor.

7.Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of the door is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.
