Note: You may be running this fireplace for the first time after hooking up to gas supply. If so, the control knob may need to be pressed in for 30 seconds or more. This will allow air to bleed from the gas system.
•If control knob does not pop up when re- leased, contact a qualified service person or gas supplier for repairs.

7.Keep control knob pressed in for 30 sec- onds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release control knob.
Note: If pilot goes out, repeat steps 3 through 7. This fireplace has a safety inter- lock system. Wait one (1) minute before lighting pilot again.

THERMOSTAT
CONTROL OPERATION
The thermostatic control used on this fireplace dif- fers from standard thermostats. Standard thermo- stats simply turn on and off the burner. The ther- mostat used on this fireplace senses the room tem- perature. The thermostat adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner. This increases or decreases the burner flame height. At times the room may exceed the set temperature. If so, the burner will shut off. The burner will cycle back on when room temperature drops below the set temperature.
The control knob can be set to any heat level between HI and LO.
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the temperature of air near the fireplace cabi- net. This may not always agree with room tem- perature (depending on housing construction, installation location, room size, open air tem- peratures, etc.). Frequent use of your fireplace will let you determine your own comfort levels.
