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.

Operate the actuator through several cycles including the closed position. Ensuring proper operation and freedom of movement. Return the actuator arm to the closed position.

Step 7. INSTALLINGLOGS,VERMICULITE, DECORATIVE VOLCANIC STONE AND GLOWING EMBERS

The log set is located within the firebox. One plastic bag of glowing embers, one plastic bag of decorative volcanic stone and one bag of vermiculate, is located in the bottom compart- ment. Refer to the Log Placement Guide for detailed placement instructions for the log set and glowing embers. See the Homeowners Manual for placement instructions of vermicu- late, decorative volcanic stone and rockwool.

Step 8. CHECKING APPLIANCE OPERATION

With gas line installed run initial system checkout before closing up the front of the unit. Follow the pilot lighting instructions provided in the Homeowner's Care and Operation In- structions. For piezo ignitor location see Figure 20 on page 12 (millivolt appliances only).

Note: Lighting instructions may also be found on the pull out lighting instruction labels attached to the gas control valve.

To access the label, see the procedure on the previous page described for accessing the gas control valve.

When first lighting the appliance, it will take a few minutes for the line to purge itself of air. Once purging is complete, the pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated in the instruction manual. Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require such purg- ing. Inspect the pilot flame (remove logs, if necessary, handling carefully).

Millivolt Appliance Checkout

The pilot flame should be steady and, not lifting or floating. Flame should be blue in color with traces of orange at the outer edge.

The top ³⁄₈" (10 mm) at the pilot generator (thermopile) and the top ¹⁄₈" min (tip) of the quick drop out thermocouple should be engulfed in the pilot flame. The flame should project 1" (25 mm) beyond the hood at all three ports (Figure 22).

Replace logs after pilot inspection.

To light the burner; turn “ON” the modesty panel mounted ON/OFF switch and rotate the gas valve control knob counterclockwise to the “ON” position.

Step 9. INSTALLING GLASS ENCLOSURE PANELS

1.Visually inspect the gasket on the backside of the panels. The gasket surface must be clean, free of irregularities and seated firmly.

2.Position the glass enclosure panel in front of the firebox opening at a 45 degree angle and engage the top flange over the lip at the top of the firebox opening. See Figure 24.

3.Swing the glass enclosure panel down and back. Ensure the gasket seats evenly as the panel draws shut. Engage the Vee-flanges at the bottom of the panel with the latches; then close the latches to secure the panel.

4.After installing the front glass enclosure panel, reinstall the bottom control compart- ment access panel by inserting the right side locating pin into the right side cabinet panel and then the left side spring-loaded pin into the left side cabinet panel.
