Variable Flame Height Adjustment ( Millivolt Appliances only)

1.All Millivolt appliances are equipped with a variable gas control valve. Flame height for these models may be adjusted through a range between fixed low and high settings while the appliance is in operation.

Adjust the flame height as desired after lighting the appliance by rotating the variable adjustment control knob located on the front of the valve (refer to Figure 2). (An extension is provided to this knob so that the adjustment may be made at the modesty panel.)

2.When lit for the first time, this appliance will emit a slight odor for 14 hours. This is due to the “burn-in” of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process.

3.Keep lower control compartment clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materi- als, etc. It is important that control compart- ments, burners and circulating air passage- ways of the appliance be kept clean.

4.Always turn off gas to the pilot (millivolt appliances) and let the unit cool down before cleaning. Before re-lighting, refer to the light- ing instructions in this manual. Lighting in- structions may also be found on the pull out lighting instruction labels attached to the gas control valve.

5.Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.

6.Remember, Millivolt appliances have a con- tinuous burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when using products with combustible vapors.

7.Clean the front glass enclosure only when necessary and when the unit is cool. Wipe surface with clean, dampened, soft cloth. Fol- low with dry, soft towel as desired. Take care not to scratch the glass surface.

WARNING: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS. NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS WHEN IT IS HOT.

CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE FRONT ENCLOSURE GLASS WITH YOUR HANDS WHILE THE FIREPLACE IS IN USE.

Outside Combustion Air Controls

Many appliances are equipped, when installed, with an outside (make-up air) vent system that is designed to provide the appliance with outside make-up air for combustion when in operation. The outside air control lever for the outside air system is standard on all appliances but should not be operated if the complete system is not installed. Refer to Figure 4. When the complete outside air vent system is installed, the installer will remove the securing screw from the combustion air control lever located on the right side (EBVST, EBVPF and EBVCL), or left side (EBVCR) of the fireplace opening.

If the securing screw has not been removed and you have reason to believe that you have a complete outside air system, contact your distributor to have your appliance inspected for the presence of the complete system. DO NOT assume that you have this system in place.

To open the outside air shutter, open the botttom control access panel, reach into the gap between the firebox bottom and the modesty panel, and pull the outside air control lever all the way out. The outside air shutter should be fully open when the fireplace is in use and completely closed when the fireplace is not being used. Closing it when not in use will prevent outside cold air from entering the dwelling.

Venting Action and Safety Limit Operation

If you suspect that the appliance is not venting properly, or you notice windows fogging or sweating, you may want to conduct the following spillage test:

1- Place unit in its normally-operated con- dition, that is, with the glass enclosure pan- els in place.

2 - Close all doors and windows in the room. Turn on all exhaust fans in the house. 3 - Light the appliance.

4 - Wait 15 minutes.

5 - To check for venting action, start by holding a smoke producing device within an inch of one edge (side edge, not top or bottom edge) of one glass enclosure panel. The smoke should be drawn toward the edge of the glass enclosure panel. Continue the test by moving the smoke producing device along the entire length of both side-edges of the glass door. Repeat the test for all glass enclosure panels.

6 - If the smoke is not drawn towards the edges of the glass door turn off the appli- ance and call a qualified service technican.
