•Before lighting the fireplace,
•Before lighting the fireplace,
Double-check for faulty components
•Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re- placed with an approved component. Tampering with the fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all war- ranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which case the air would have to be purged.
NOTE: The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 hours on the initial

Air Shutter Setting
This fireplace has an adjustable air shutter (which controls the primary air) factory set for the minimum vertical vent run (see Figure 36). If your installation has more than the minimum required vertical vent length, adjustment of the air shutter may be necessary to obtain optimal flame appearance. This should be adjusted by a qualified installer at the time of installation.
The air shutter handle has a gap maintainer clip factory installed which needs to be removed to make any adjustments. By pushing the air shutter handle in, you will be closing the air shutter. Care should be taken when adjusting the air shutter so as not to cause the fireplace to soot. If sooting occurs the air shutter will need to be opened by pulling the handle out.
Step 13. Lighting the Fireplace
You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components. Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.
