OPERATION / MAINTENANCE

Purge all gas lines with the glass door open. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before closing the door. Allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabi- lize after ignition.

TURBO BURNER OPERATION

AND MAINTENANCE

The purpose of the turbo burner is to increase heat output or BTUs of the unit and will only operate when the main burner is functioning. To turn the turbo burner on, simply depress the burner control knob (located in the valve com- partment at the left hand side below the piezo ignitor) and rotate the knob counter-clockwise to 'high'.

The turbo burner flame can be observed on the reflective surface in the back right corner of the firebox.

The burner flame height may now adjusted to achieve the heat output required. Because the flame is very efficient it will burn a very blue, almost transparent colour.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To turn off the burner, rotate the control knob clockwise to 'high'; depress the knob and turn to 'off'.

The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top left corner on models CDVS500 and CS500.

When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condi- tion caused by the curing of the logs and the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufac- turing process and will not occur again. Simply open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room. After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a win- dow to sufficiently ventilate the room.

SPILL SWITCH

This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back of the chimney adapter, which senses the change in temperature and shuts down the gas valve in the event of a severe downdraft of air or a blocked or disconnected

vent. It acts as a safety shut-off to prevent a build up of carbon monoxide or an explosion of unburnt gases during start up. If the flue is

blocked or has no "draw", the spill switch will automatically shut off the supply of gas within about 5-10 minutes.

TAMPERING WITH THE SWITCH CAN RESULT IN CAR- BON MONOXIDE (CO) POISONING AND POSSIBLE DEATH.

VENTING ACTION CHECK: A CHECK FOR CORRECT VENTING ACTION MUST BE MADE BEFORE THE IN- STALLED STOVE IS LEFT WITH THE CUSTOMER. Test in the following manner:

1.Close all doors and windows in

the room / start exhaust fans in the

home / turn fireplace blower off (if

equipped).FIGURE 43

2.Set controls to "high" and light the unit.

3.Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and extend it 1" into the hole located above the spill switch bracket on the adapter.

4.Venting action is satisfactory if the flame stays lit. Vent- ing action is unsatisfactory if the flame extinguishes.

5.If venting action is unsatisfactory, turn the unit off, wait 10 minutes and try again. If the match does not stay lit, turn the unit off and check for vent blockage or restriction. If necessary, consult with a qualified inspector.
