Quadra-Fire QV32-A Lighting the Appliance, After the Installation, To Turn Off Gas Appliance

Step 12. Lighting the Appliance

You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the appliance for gas leaks, you know the vent system is

unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components. Now you’re ready to light the appliance.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE.

STANDING PILOT IGNITION

A. This appliance (standing pilot version) has a pilot that must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appli- ance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle to the floor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

•Do not try to light any appliance.

•Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.

•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neigh- bor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instruc- tions.

•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or attempt- ed repair may result in a fire or explosion.

D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas con- trol which has been under water.

When you light your fireplace, you may notice:

This gas appliance produces heat which does have an associ- ated odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial 3-4 hour continuous burn on high followed by a second burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Addi- tionally, for the first few minutes after each lighting, vapor may condense and fog the glass and flames may be blue. After a few minutes this moisture will disappear and within 15-30 min- utes the flames should become yellow.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

STANDING PILOT CONTROLS

1.To access controls, open the lower grille.

2.Turn the gas control valve knob to the OFF position. To do this, you

must turn the knob clockwise	to the PILOT position, and then
press in and continue turning clockwise	to the OFF position.

NOTE: Knob cannot be turned from “PILOT” to “OFF” unless knob is pushed in slightly. Do not force.

3.WAIT AT LEAST FIVE (5) MINUTES TO CLEAR OUT ANY GAS. If you have unsuccessfully tried to light the fireplace, wait longer, espe- cially if you are using LP gas. Then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you then smell gas, STOP! Follow "B" in the safety informa- tion on previous page. If you don't smell gas, go to the next step.

4. The pilot should not require accessing for lighting purposes. The pilot is located inside the combustion chamber. If it is necessary to access the pilot, remove the trim door and glass door.

If the pilot does not light after 10 seconds, go back to step 2. The control knob should be held down for a MINUTE after pilot ignition.

•If the control knob does not pop out when released, STOP! Shut off the gas supply to the fireplace control valve, and IMMEDIATELY call your service technician or gas supplier.
