Lighting Instructions

General

• Have the fireplace and installation inspected yearly. The
inspection must include, but is not limited to, the following:
• A visual check of the entire vent system and termination.
• An inspection of the explosion relief flappers and the door
gaskets to ensure a proper seal.
• An inspection of the burner, vent run, and primary air
openings.
• An inspection of the gas valve, gas components, and pilot
flame. For your convenience a 1/8" manifold pressure tap is
supplied on the gas valve for a test gauge connection.
• Ensure proper log placement as per this manual.
• Inspection of all optional equipment; fans, thermostats, etc.
• For Natural Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet
pressure of 5.5" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C.
• For Propane Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet
pressure of 11" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.
• Always keep the fireplace area clear and free of combustible
materials, as well as gasoline and other flammable vapours
and liquids.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.

Burner Adjustment

The H*38VO-ST* is equipped with an adjustable burner, allowing
you to raise or lower the flames. To adjust the flames, locate the
black knob marked 'Hi-Lo', in the centre of the gas control valve.
The front burners are not adjustable.
• To raise the flame height, turn the black knob (located behind
the lower trim) counterclockwise.
• To lower the flame height, turn clockwise.

Cleaning

When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking
and a visible film may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition,
and is the result of burning of protective coatings on new metal.
• Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which
is a normal by-product of combustion) which may be visible.
Film can easily be removed by removing the door, as shown
on Page 10. Handle the door carefully, and clean it with non-
abrasive glass cleaners. One of the most effective products is
Kel Kem.
• Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas",
leaving a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion
chamber walls. This can easily be removed using normal
household products.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control
compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
• Logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove
soot or other contaminates.
NOTICE
Do not use ammonia or abrasive cleaners on the glass, they will
permanently etch the surface. Use an approved gas fireplace cleaner
such as Kel-Kem or White off.
