VENTING INSTALLATION

Continued

CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING

After completing and checking the electrical, gas and vent connections, follow the lighting instructions and allow the main burner to run for approximately 5 minutes. Hold a lighted match or cigarette near the top edge of the fireplace opening and play it along the entire length of the opening (see Figure 12). Proper venting should tend to draw the flame or smoke into the appliance. Improper venting or escaping of spillage of burned gas, is indicated when the match flickers or goes out. Smoke from a cigarette will also tend to disperse away from the appliance.

If the appliance is found to be improperly venting, shut it off and notify your installer or a qualified service agency to inspect the venting system.

If the appliance shouldshutdown,contactaquali- fied installer, service agency or your gas supplier to have the vent inspected before operating.

Check this area along the entire top edge of the fireplace opening.

Smoke or flame should be drawn into the appliance opening.

WALL SWITCH INSTALLATION

The installation of a wall switch allows you to activate the gas control valve and turn the fireplace on and off. The wall switch is to be connected to the incoming 120 volt regular household wiring that supplies the electricity to the fireplace. Refer to wiring diagram in this manual on page 18.

OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL INSTALLATION (Model WRC)

Note: If using optional wireless hand-held remote control, the wall switch must be in the ON position to be operational. The remote control then becomes the switching mechanism for fireplace operation.

1.Remove the front refractory access panel by lifting up and angling out of the firebox open- ing (see Figure 13).

2.The WRC model receiver does not require a battery. The receiver can be installed by first plugging the short extension cord into the fireplace receptacle. Then plug the receiver unit into the extension cord. Finally plug the ignition module plug into the receiver unit (see Figure 14).
