GBI25 SERIES B-VENT GAS FIRED FIREPLACE INSERT

1.OPERATION PROCEDURE DURING REGULAR USE

Turn the switch/thermostat to the ON position. This will ignite the main burner.

2. SHUTDOWN DURING REGULAR USE

Simply turn the switch/thermotat to OFF. This will disengage the burner and the flames will extinguish.

3. SEASONAL SHUTDOWN

When the burning season comes to an end, the entire system should be shut down to prevent gas running to the appliance while it is not in use.

4. FAN OPERATION

The fan control is located behind the control access panel. Lift the panel up and rotate forward. Locate the fan control knob and turn. See Figure 18. Close the control access panel.

5. CHECKING FLAME PATTERNS

Check the flame pattern of the burner periodically, making sure the flames are steady, not lifting or floating. The flame color should be blue with yellow tips. The thermopile tip should be covered with flame. See Figures 26 and 27.

If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the vent may cause the flames inside the appliance to lift or “ghost” - a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to ensure proper performance. If the vent configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off gas to the appliance and contact the dealer for information on remedying the problem.

Note: If the air shutter is open all the way and the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the appliance and contact a qualified service technician.

WARNING!

Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance.
