Thermostat Operation

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS/FLAME APPEARANCE

Flames from the pilot (rear right back side of the pan burner) as well as the main ﬂame should be visually checked as the log set is installed.

In normal operation at full rate after 10 to 15 minutes, the ﬂame appearance should be sets of yellow ﬂames.

NOTE: All ﬂames will be random by design, ﬂame height will go up and down.

Glowing embers (rock wool) can cover the pan burner in between the front and middle logs, but very little is necessary to cover this area. Excess ember material causes the yellow ﬂame to become orange and stringy. Apply just enough to obtain slow glow and a gold yellow ﬂame.

Avoid any drafts that alter burner ﬂame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into ﬁreplace. Do not place a blower inside the burner area of the ﬁrebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter ﬂame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will result.

During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, ﬁlms or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.

The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in will be slight and will disappear with continued use.
