CHECK SAFETY SHUTDOWN PERFORMANCE

WARNING

Perform the safety shutdown test any time work is done on a gas system to avoid the possibility of fire or explosion with property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

SAFETY SHUTDOWN SYSTEM

Continuous Ignition Systems

1.Place gas control knob in Pilot position. Main burner should go off and pilot should remain lit.

2.Extinguish pilot flame. Pilot gas flow should stop within 3 minutes. Safety shutoff of pilot gas proves complete shutdown since safety shutoff valve blocks flow of gas to main burner and pilot.

3.Wait 5 minutes, then relight pilot burner and operate system through one complete cycle to make sure all controls operate properly.

1.If the fireplace is installed, turn off gas and electric supply before making the gas conversion.

2.Identify the fireplace model to be converted, and read all instruction steps prior to converting the gas valve.

3.Remove all logs from the burner assembly.

4.Open the sliding valve access door.

5.Depress and turn the gas cock dial to the "OFF" position.

VALVE CONVERSION

6.Remove two (2) screws, regulator, and gasket from gas valve control body.

7.Install the new gasket, regulator, and gasket from gas valve control body.
