Lighting Instructions Before Operating

PILOT LIGHT:

1.Turn off the gas to the fireplace. If not recently done, remove the glass and let the unit air out for at least five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all joints with soapy water. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME FOR LEAK TESTING.

2.Start the pilot by pressing the gas control knob and turning it to PILOT. While holding the gas control knob in, press the piezo ignitor several times until the pilot light starts. Hold the gas control knob in for thirty (30) seconds. Check that the pilot has fully engulfed the thermocouple assembly (see Figure 3).

3.Start the main burner by turning the gas control knob to ON and then turn the rocker switch to ON. Check that all burner ports have flame.

REMOTE CONTROLS (OPTIONAL):

This fireplace can use an optional remote control or an optional cordless wall thermostat. If either of these are to be used to control the fireplace for the majority of the time, leave the ON/OFF switch (on the control panel) in the remote/thermostat position. Consult the instructions included with the remote/wall thermostat for operation guidelines.

BLOWER SPEED (OPTIONAL):

The blower will come on only when the fireplace is up to temperature (approximately 20 minutes). The speed of the fan can be changed by turning the fan control knob. To turn the blower off, turn the knob COUNTER CLOCKWISE until it “clicks” off.

It is advisable not to operate the blower below 1/3 speed as it puts a strain on the windings of the blower and running the blower at lower speeds could also cause premature fan failure.
