Step 7. INSTALLING LOGS AND GLOWING EMBERS

The logs are packaged in a carton which is shrink-wrapped to the front glass enclosure panel. The glowing embers are packaged sepa- rately in a plastic bag located in the control area of the fireplace.

Refer to the homeowner's care and operation instructions for detailed placement instruc- tions for the logs and glowing embers.

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 Instructions. For piezo ignitor location see Figure 49 (SIT and Honeywell millivolt appliances only).

Note: Instructions are also found on the litera- ture tag attached to the gas valve train.

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 purging. Inspect the pilot flame (remove logs, if necessary, handling carefully).

The pilot flame should be steady, 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 50

- SIT, Figure 51 - Honeywell )

Replace logs if removed for pilot inspection.

To light the burner; turn “ON” the remote wall switch and rotate the gas valve control knob counterclockwise to the “ON” position.

To light the burner, turn ‘ON’ the optional remote wall switch and turn the gas control switch to the “ON” position. Ensure the ignitor lights the pilot. The pilot flame should engulf the flame rod as shown in Figure 52.

Step 9. INSTALLING THE GLASS DOOR

Retrieve the glass door. Visually inspect the gasket on the backside of the frame. Gasket surface must be clean, free of irregularities and seated firmly.

Position the door in front of the firebox opening with the bottom of the door held away from the fireplace (Figure 53 ). Hook the top flange of the door frame over the top of the firebox frame.

Let the bottom of the door frame swing gently in towards the fireplace ensuring that the gas- ket seats evenly as the door frame draws shut. Fasten the two latches located underneath the firebox floor to the door's vee-flange. Close both the latches securely.
