Step 11. Before Lighting the Fireplace

Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:

Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.

Review safety warnings and cautions

Read the Safety and Warning Information section at the beginning of this Installers Guide.

Double-check for gas leaks

Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for possible gas leaks.

Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for obstructions.

Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter- minations or the front grilles.

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 for 3 to 4 hours on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the chemicals used in the paint and logs.

!WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE USER’S MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND

WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.
