Operation / Maintenance

Purge all gas lines with the glass door removed. Assure 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top right corner on model GDS20.

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 cur- ing 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 follow- ing a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles burning off. Open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING

WARNING: if you do not follow these instructions exactly, 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.

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 wa- ter.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

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