This insert has been painted with Stovebright high tem-
perature metallic stove paint. It leaves the factory dry to
the touch, but finishes curing as the insert is used. Fire the
insert four successive times for ten minutes each time with
a five minute cool down between each firing. Ventilate the
house during these first firings as the paint gives off car-
bon dioxide and unpleasant odors. It is recommended that
persons sensitive to an imbalance in the indoor air quality
avoid the insert during the curing process.
Quiet Operation
GAS NOISE: The sound of gas flowing through the insert
may be detectable while the unit is in operation. This is a
normal operating sound, however if it is objectionable, it
can be reduced by turning down the flame. Turning down
the flame will reduce heat output.
BLOWER NOISE: As the insert heats up, the blower will come
on to move hot air through the heat exchanger and into the
room. Adjust the fan speed with the fan control knob to the
sound level and air flow desired.

Your Designer gas insert comes equipped with a 150 CFM
blower with a variable speed control and an automatic
temperature activated On / Off snap switch.
Operation:
1. Plug the blower power cord into a grounded (three
prong) outlet. This appliance is equipped with a three
prong (grounding) plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three - prong receptacle. Do not cut
or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
2. After the insert warms up, the fan will come on if the
speed control (located at the far right below the firebox)
is left in the on position. The fan will not operate until
the insert is warm.
3. Once the fan comes on, turn the knob to the desired
speed. No further adjustment is necessary, the fan will
come on automatically whenever the insert is warm.
4. If you do not wish to have the fan on, turn the knob until
it clicks into the OFF position.

"On-Off" Switch And Thermostat
Your gas insert comes with an "ON/OFF" rocker switch
used to turn the burner on and off while the pilot is on. The
rocker switch can be installed in the hole in the right side
of the top surround panel or in the hole in the panel to the
left of the igniter button. The hole in the panel is covered by
a label which must be carefully cut out before installing the
rocker switch. The switch must be disconnected from the
coil of wire to which it is attached, the plastic nut unscrewed
from the back side of the switch, and then the switch can
be inserted into the hole at either location. If the switch is
to be located in the surround, route the wire behind the
igniter bracket and through the hole in the lower right side
of the insert. Attach the three plastic adhesive wire restraints
(found in the bag in the firebox) to the side surround panel.
Feed the wire through these restraints and up to the switch.
Care should be taken to ensure the wire does not come in
contact with the hot surfaces of the firebox. Reconnect the
wires to the switch.
A wall thermostat or remote thermostat can be used to
supplement the rocker switch. The thermostat and rocker
switch will turn the burner on and off independently. Be
sure to set the rocker switch to the "Off" position when
using the thermostat and set the thermostat to the lowest
temperature when you wish to use the rocker switch only,
otherwise one may override the other. If a remote thermo-
stat is to be used with the insert, do not place the receiver
under the firebox.

All pilots are burned and checked at the factory prior to
shipment. (NOTE: If upon initial insert installation the pilot
flame flickers or will not remain lit, most likely the pilot is
fine but there is air in the gas line or the gas pressure is too
low). Pilot adjustment is not normally required, but should
it be necessary, it should be done only by a qualified service
technician. The pilot adjustment screw is located below the
ON/OFF/PILOT control knob. With a flat bladed screw driver,
remove the pilot adjusting cover to access the pilot adjust-
ing screw. Adjust pilot screw to the properly sized flame.
The flames should completely surround the thermopile and
extend across the main burner tube ports. Be careful not
to back the adjusting screw out of its threads. Replace the
cover and check for gas leaks.
