Starting the Fireplace for the First Time


Burn the heater at a high setting with the blower off for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will
cure the painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This
is normal. We recommend opening a window to vent the room.

Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the fireplace - this is normal.

Blue Flames will occur on the fireplace when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will
turn a more realistic yellow and orange color.

Verify the power backup batteries are installed (see page 17).

Intermittent/Continuous Pilot

This heater may run with the pilot continuously running or in intermittent mode. For most homeowners,
the intermittent mode is preferred (this saves fuel, doesn't give off un-needed heat). However, in some
situations, the homeowner may prefer to switch the heater to continuous pilot. The most typical reasons
for switching to continuous pilot are:

Very Cold Conditions – in very cold conditions you may notice that the burner does not light quickly,
and the flames lift off the burner. If this is the situation, we recommend you switch to continuous pilot.
This will create a slight draft in the vent, allowing for the burner to light quickly and draft correctly.

Excessive Condensation on Glass After Startup – certain installations may encounter excessive
fogging on the window after startup (not just the first time the heater was started). This is an aesthetic
condition that may be remedied by switching the heater to continuous pilot.

Cold Glass or Heater Front – in very cold conditions you may notice that the heater front and glass
become very cold. To remedy this, switch the heater to continuous pilot.

Frequent On / Off Operation – if you are frequently turning the heater on and off, you may wish to
leave it in continuous pilot. This allows the burner to turn on more quickly, without pilot ignition delay.

Switching from Intermittent (IPI) to Continuous Pilot (CPI)

The pilot mode on this appliance is adjusted using the remote. With the remote in the off position
(thermostat off, manual off), follow the directions below to adjust the pilot mode.
