OPERATING GUIDELINES

Before operating this heater, please review the safety warnings pages at the beginning of this manual and those precautions and warnings listed below.

1.Know what type of ignition system this model has (standing pilot) and follow the applicable SAFETY and LIGHTING instructions.

2.Check to ensure there are no gas leaks. If you are unsure,

turn gas off to the heater and call a service person or your gas utility.

CAUTION: Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance.

WARNING: Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of high surface temperature 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.

3.Tampering is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties. Any component that is found to be faulty, must be replaced with an approved component.

Initial Lighting (Figure 14)

Upon completing the gas line or turning the gas valve "ON" after it has been in the "OFF" position, a small amount of air will be in the lines. When first lighting the appliance, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete, the appliance will light and operate satisfactorily.

Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require such purging if the gas valve is not turned to "OFF."

Standing Pilot Operation

1.Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for standing pilot controls found in this manual and on labels found attached to the appliance.

CAUTION: During the initial purging and subsequent lightings, never allow the gas valve control knob to remain depressed in the "pilot" position without pushing the piezo ignitor button at least once every second.

2.During the heating season, leave the control valve knob in the "ON" position. This will allow the pilot flame to remain lit. Turn the burner flame on or off with the appliance ON/OFF rocker switch, wall switch, remote control kits or 750 millivolt wall thermostat.

NOTE:The gas control valve allows you to increase or decrease the height of the main burner flame. The control valve has a pressure regulator with a knob as shown in Figure 14. Rotate the knob clockwise to "HI" to increase the flame height and counterclockwise to "LO" to decrease the flame height.

3.When the heating season is over, turn the on/off switch to "OFF" and the control valve to "OFF". The system, including the pilot light, will be shut down.

Maximum and Minimum Input

The gas valve on the appliance allows the input to adjust between a maximum input of 30,000 to a minimum input of 21,000 Btuh. Please be advised, the maximum input provides the greatest amount of yellow flame and ember glow on the log set. The minimum input substantially decreases the yellow flame and ember glow on the log set.

VENT SAFETY SHUTOFF SYSTEM

This heater must be properly connected to a venting system. This heater is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system.

Warning:

Operation of this heater, when not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system or tampering with the vent safety shutoff system, can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.

This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air.

This fireplace heater is equipped with a vent safety switch. The vent safety switch will cause gas flow to the pilot to "shut off" due to improper venting or a blocked flue.

If the vent safety switch continues to "shut off" the gas flow to the pilot a qualified service person must be contacted to inspect for improper venting, blockage in the vent pipe or the vent safety switch for being defective.

Reversible Vertical or Horizontal Draft Diverter

This fireplace heater has a reversible draft diverter. The draft diverter is installed in the vertical position at the factory. Please use the following steps to change the draft diverter from the vertical position to the horizontal position.

1.Remove (8) hex-head screws located adjacent to the flue collar on the draft diverter.

2.Rotate flue collar to the horizontal position on the draft diverter.

3.Attach flue collar to draft diverter with (8) hex-head screws from Step 1.
