Switch Operation
Spillage Test
After appliance installation, perform this spillage
test to verify that proper venting conditions exist:
1 - Place unit in its normally-operated condi-
tion, that is, with the glass enclosure panels
in place.
2 - Close all doors and windows in the room.
Turn on all exhaust fans in the house.
3 - Light the appliance.
4 - Wait 15 minutes.
5 - To check for venting action, start by holding
a smoke producing device within an inch
of one edge (side edge, not top or bottom
edge) of one glass enclosure panel. The
smoke should be drawn toward the edge
of the glass enclosure panel. Continue the
test by moving the smoke producing device
along the entire length of both side-edges of
the glass door. Repeat the test for all glass
enclosure panels.
6 - If the smoke is not drawn towards the edges
of the glass door turn off the appliance and
call a qualified service technician.
Manually-Reset Safety Limit Switch
This appliance is equipped with a manually-reset blocked flue safety limit switch. Refer to Figure
28 for its location. If, during appliance operation, the flame goes out (independently of the burner
on/off wall switch), it may be due to the operation of this safety limit switch. First allow the appli-
ance to cool, then reset the safety switch by pushing the red reset button on the back of the switch.
To access the blocked flue safety limit switch refer to Figure 28:
A - To access the blocked flue safety switch:
1 - Remove the hood by pulling directly out from the unit. Remove the front face assembly by
lifting approximately 1/2" and pulling out from the unit.
2 - Reach between the cabinet side and the firebox side wall and locate the blocked flue safety
switch.
3 - Push the red reset button on the switch.
The appliance should then relight and remain lit. If this does not occur, turn off the appliance and
call a qualified service technician.
B - To access the blocked flue safety switch:
NOTE - This procedure should only be performed by a qualified service technician.
Important - Turn electrical power off before beginning this procedure.
1 - Open the lower bottom hinged panel on the control side of the fireplace. Remove the modesty
panel and glass enclosure panel as described on Pages 10 and 21.
2 - Remove the side baffle securing screws (5) and then remove the baffle.
3 - Remove the safety switch bracket securing screws (2), and pull the switch/bracket assembly
through the side panel slot.
4 - Push the red reset button on the switch.
5 - Reinstall the switch/bracket assembly.
6 - Reinstall the side baffle.
