OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Read and understand these instructions before
operating this appliance.
2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and
enclosed to prevent possible shock.
3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
4) Make sure the glass in the door frame is properly
positioned. Never operate the appliance with the
glass removed.
5) Verify that the venting and cap are unobstructed.
6) Ensure that the brick panels are installed.
7) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be
seen when lighting the unit, the logs have been
incorrectly positioned.

LIGHTING PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot,
you must fi rst release the
tension springs below the
door.
Only when the pilot holds, without pressure being
applied to the control knob, reapply the tension
springs to the door. The unit must not be operated
with the tension springs unattached.
NOTE: For all propane units and units
equipped with electric spark boxes, see
"Copy of Lighting Plate Instructions"
section for more details.
IMPORTANT: Gas on/off knob cannot be turned
from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is partially
depressed.
1) Turn burner OFF using "ON/OFF" switch.
2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points to
"OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for any gas
in the combustion chamber to escape.
3) Turn gas control knob counterclockwise so in-
dicator points to the "PILOT" position. Depress
the gas control knob fully. Depress the igniter
button several times until the pilot lights. After ap-
proximately one minute, release the gas control
knob. The pilot fl ame should continue to burn.
If the pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation
allowing a longer period before releasing gas

2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the
"OFF" position to turn off the pilot.
3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if service
is to be performed.

FIRST FIRE

The fi rst fi re in your fi replace is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is properly
cured, it is recommended that you burn your
fi replace for at least four (4) hours the fi rst time
you use it with the fan on.
When fi rst operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint, the burning off
of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke
detectors in the house may go off at this time.
Open a few windows to ventilate the room for a
couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning after the
unit has cooled down. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
Note: When the glass is cold and the appliance
is lit, it may cause condensation and fog
the glass. This condensation is normal
and will disappear in a few minutes as
the glass heats up.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.
During the fi rst few fi res, a white fi lm
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the fi lm will bake on and
become very diffi cult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.
AERATION
ADJUSTMENT
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the
adjusting wire up or down. The wire is accessed
through the bottom louver opening. Open the air
shutter for a blue fl ame or close for a yellower
fl ame. The burner aeration is factory set but may
need adjusting due to either the local gas supply
or altitude.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
3/16" Natural Gas - Orifi ce # 44
1/8" NG (w/faceplate) -Orifi ce #47
3/8" Propane - Orifi ce # 55

is closed too much.
