Using Your Fireplace or Firepit
Note: The knob cannot be turned unless pushed in
slightly. Do not force the knob to turn.If you do not smell
gas, proceed to the next step.
3.
Locate the pilot burner on the right hand side
between the base logs.
4.
Push the knob IN slightly and turn it
counterclockwise to the PILOT position.
5.
Push the control knob all the way in and hold it in.
Immediately press the ignitor (piezo) button to light
the pilot.
6.
Continue to hold the control knob in for about one
minute after the pilot is lit.
7.
After one minute, release the knob. It will pop back
out and the pilot should remain lit. If the pilot goes
out, repeat steps 2 through 6.
If the knob does not pop out when released, stop and
immediately call your service technical or gas supplier.
If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the
gas control to the OFF position and call your service
technician or gas suppliler.
8.
Push in the gas control knob and turn
counterclockwise to the ON position.
9.
To light the burners, turn the gas control that
regulates gas flow to the burners. Turn it from LOW
to HIGH to increase the gas flow.
10.
Close the fireplace screens.
When the appliance is being operated for the first
time, allow for a supervised burn of 30 minutes. Then
shut the appliance off and let it cool completely before
relighting. This allows proper curing time for the logs.
(After several hours of operation the logs will discolor
slightly. This is normal.)
Manual Thermostat
Operation of the thermostat is based on the position
of the control lever. While turning the lever to the ON
position, note the position the main burner ignites.
Leaving the lever at this position would cause the
burner to operate until the room temperature warms up
slightly, then start a gradual flame reduction until the
temperature stabilizes.
Millivolt Control
The millivolt control lever allows for flame height
and heat output adjustment. Turn the lever counter-
clockwise from the LOW position to increase flame to
the HIGH position and clockwise to decrease flame.

Lighting Your Wood Burning
Fireplace
Your wood burning fireplace is designed to use a grate
to hold the wood to be burned approximately 2"-3"
off the base. This allows air to get to the bottom of
the wood and gives room for ash to accumulate. Do
not attempt to burn wood in your appliance without a
proper grate installed.
WARNING: Never use liquids such as gasoline or
lighter fluid in a wood burning fireplace. Serious injury
can occur.
Have several sizes of wood available. Small pieces
will be needed to start the fire, some medium sizes and
finally larger logs that will burn for a longer period of
time. Make sure all logs are small enough to fit entirely
into the fireplace or firepit. If the wood is too large, cut
or split it until it will fit into the enclosure.
1.
Wad up some dry newspaper and put it under the
grate but be carefull of ash that may be under
grate from a previous fire.
2.
Put small pieces of wood over the newspaper, on
the grate. Small wood should not be more than
1/2" thick and 1" wide. Smaller wood will burn
easier and make the fire easier to start. Make sure
to leave room for air to circulate around the small
pieces of wood.
3.
On top of the small pieces of wood put a few
medium sized pieces of wood. These pieces can
be from 1" to 2" thick but should not block airflow
around the small pieces.
4.
Light the newspaper under the grate in several
places. As wood begins to burn, add more
medium sized pieces one at a time until a good
coal base is formed. At this time you can add
larger pieces of wood. Always make sure there is
sufficeint room for air to flow around the wood that
is added or you may smother your fire.
Warning! Never leave a burning fireplace or firepit
unattended!
