System Check

1.PURGING THE GAS LINE: When lighting the appli- ance for the first time, it will take a few moments to clear the gas line of air. Once this purge is complete, the appliance will operate as described in the lighting instructions. See the inside back cover of this manual or the stove Rating Plate attached the bottom of the stove. Subsequent burner starts will not require purging the gas line unless the supply line is shut off.

2.PILOT FLAME: You can monitor the pilot flame through the view port located at the rear of the Right Log. See fig. 37. The pilot flame should be steady - not lifting or floating. The flame should be blue in color around the pilot hood, with traces of yellow toward the outer edges.

The pilot flame should engulf the top 3/8” of the thermopile (to generate millivolt current) and the top 1/8” of the thermocouple. The pilot flame should project out of the pilot hood 1” at all three ports. See fig. 37.

3.BURNER ADJUSTMENT: This stove is equipped with a variable gas control valve that allows easy adjust- ment of the flame height appearance and heat output. To adjust the flame between the HI and LOW setting, rotate the HI/LOW knob, located in the center of the valve face. Flame height will adjust approximately 1” to 2” between the LOW and HIGH settings. See fig. 38.

NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE PRESENT. CHECK LOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS PRESENT. IF SOOT OR SMOKE PERSISTS, THE AIR SHUTTER MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.

See Air Shutter/Flame Appearance section of this manual for proper air shutter settings and adjust- ments. Note: the more offsets there are in the vent system, the greater the need for an air shutter adjustment. See page 20.

WARNING:

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
