In normal operation, at full rate, after 15 min- utes the following flame appearance should be observed:

Rear Burner Flame Characteristics – The rear flames should be yellow. The flames should extend about 3 – 4" above the center log (front of the unitized log group) for natu- ral gas and 2 – 3" above for propane (L.P.G.) gas (Figure 20 ).

Main Burner – The flames at the front burner holes will be blue becoming yellowish as they hit the bark-like texture of the base and front face of the center log (front of the unitized group) (Figure 20 ).

Appliance Operation

WARNING: THE LOWER CONTROL COM- PARTMENT AREA AND LOWER CONTROL COMPARTMENT ACCESS DOOR ARE EX- TREMELY HOT WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS INOPERATION. EXERCISEEXTREMECARE WHEN ACCESSING THIS AREA. TOUCH ONLY THE FAR ENDS OF THE LOWER CONTROL COMPARTMENT DOOR WHEN OPENING WHILE THE APPLIANCE IS HOT.

Step 14. Checking the System – With gas line installed run initial system checkout before closing up the front of the unit. Follow the pilot lighting instructions on page 16.

Note: Instructions are also found on the pull out panel located on the bottom surface of the appliance.

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 instruc- tion manual. Subsequent lightings of the appli- ance 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) should be engulfed in the pilot flame (NG only).

Replace logs if removed for pilot inspection.

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

Step 15. Installing the Optional Screen As- sembly – Retrieve the screen door frame. Po- sition the door frame in front of the firebox opening in the brackets at the base of the fireplace front opening. Lean the door frame back towards the fireplace ensuring that the frame seats evenly as it draws shut.

Installing the Optional Glass Door

Position the door frame in front of the firebox opening, with the joint in the gasket down. Locate the three (3) tabs at the bottom edge of the door frame into the three (3) brackets at the base of the fireplace front opening. Lean the door frame back towards the fireplace ensuring that the frame seats evenly as it draws shut.

Install the three (3) 1/4"-20 x 1" Phillips pan head screws removed previously and tighten to secure. Ensure that the tab on the bottom of the door frame engages the door switch.

Make sure the screws are tightened equally to avoid torquing the door (Figure 21 ).
