Step 12. Before Lighting the Fireplace

Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:

Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace. Review safety warnings and cautions

•Read the Safety and Warning Information section at the beginning of this Installers Guide.

Double-check for gas leaks

•Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for possible gas leaks.

Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for obstructions.

•Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter- minations or the front grilles.

Double-check for faulty components

•Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re- placed with an approved component. Tampering with the fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all war- ranties.

A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.

Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which case the air would have to be purged.

NOTE: The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 hours on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the products used in the paint and logs.

During this break-in period it is recommended that some windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate any odors associated with the fireplace’s initial burning.

Air Shutter Setting

This fireplace has an adjustable air shutter (which controls the primary air) factory set for the minimum vertical vent run (see Figure 36). If your installation has more than the minimum required vertical vent length, adjustment of the air shutter may be necessary to obtain optimal flame appearance. This should be adjusted by a qualified installer at the time of installation.

The air shutter handle has a gap maintainer clip factory installed which needs to be removed to make any adjustments. By pushing the air shutter handle in, you will be closing the air shutter. Care should be taken when adjusting the air shutter so as not to cause the fireplace to soot. If sooting occurs the air shutter will need to be opened by pulling the handle out.

Step 13. Lighting the Fireplace

You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components. Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.

!WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE USER’S MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND

WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.

After the Installation

!LEAVE THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL WITH THE APPLIANCE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
