9.0 OPERATION

!WARNING

IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT

CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSON INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

ALWAYS LIGHT THE PILOT WHETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME OR IF THE GAS SUPPLY HAS RAN OUT WITH THE

GLASS DOOR OPENED OR REMOVED.

TAMPERING WITH THE SPILL SWITCH CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) POISONING AND

POSSIBLE DEATH (GS60 ONLY).

MODEL GS60 ONLY: SPILL SWITCH

This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back of the chimney adaptor, which senses the change in temperature and shuts down the gas valve in the event of a blocked or disconnected vent. It acts as a safety shut-off to prevent a build up of carbon monoxide or an explosion of unburned gases during 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.

MODEL GS60 ONLY: VENTING ACTION CHECK

A CHECK FOR CORRECT VENTING ACTION MUST BE MADE BEFORE THE INSTALLED APPLIANCE IS LEFT WITH THE CUSTOMER. Test in the following manner:

9.0.1Close all doors and windows in the room / start exhaust fans in the home / turn appliance blower off (if equipped).

9.0.2Set controls to "high" and light the unit.

9.0.3Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and extend it 1" into the hole located above the spill switch bracket on the adaptor.

9.0.4Venting action is satisfactory if the flame stays lit. Venting action is unsatisfactory if the flame extin- guishes.

9.0.5If 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 restriction. If necessary, consult with a qualified inspector.

9.1OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top left corner on models GDS60 and GS60.

NOTE: The upper firebox baffle of your new cast appliance has intentionally been left unpainted. Its shiny appearance will quickly transform to a dull black finish during the curing process.

When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary con- dition caused by 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 appliance 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.
