GAS KNOB

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE

When lit for the fi rst 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 suffi ciently ventilate the room.

After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the fi replace 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 a continuous gas flow is at the burner before re-install- ing the door.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:

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

B. Before operating smell all around the fi replace area for gas and next to the fl oor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the fl oor.

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 qualifi ed service technician. Force or at- tempted repair may result in a fi re or explosion.

D. Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the fi replace 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 fi replace.

•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 sup- plier's instructions.

•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fi re depart- ment.

TO TURN OFF GAS

1.Turn off all electric power to the fi replace if service is to be performed.

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 qualifi ed service person. The fi replace area must be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline or other fl ammable vapours and liquids. The fl ow of combustion 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 opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacuum- ing 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 properly.

4.Check to see that the pilot fl ame 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 completely on all openings when the gas knob for the burn- ers is turned on. A 5 to 10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your Authorized dealer / distributor.

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