INITIAL START UP GAS LINE PURGE

NOTE: UNIT MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED FOR ELECTRONIC IGNITION TO FUNCTION.

On initial installation, or after extended periods where the fireplace has not been used, gas lines may require purging.

The installer or qualified service person may use the following purge procedures to prevent the delays that would be caused by waiting for the lockout periods between tries for ignition.

PURGE PROCEDURE

1.Remove glass door and place away from the fireplace.

2.Turn on gas shut off valve. Follow ignition procedure.

3.If burner does not light after spark sequence has ended, use an insulated jumper wire (see page 43) between terminal locations 12 and 13 for fast reset function.

4.Interrupt power for 5 seconds. The green indicator light will blink 4 times repetitively. Then retry for ignition.

5.Allow time for any raw gas to dissipate and repeat steps 3 and 4 until ignition is achieved.

6.Turn burner off and install glass door frame assembly.

7.Test ignition of burner with glass door in place.
