K. After Appliance is Lit
Initial Break-in Procedure
• The appliance should be run three to four hours
continuously on high.
• Turn the appliance off and allow it to completely cool.
• Remove and clean fi xed glass assembly. See Section 3.
• Replace the fi xed glass assembly and run continuously
on high an additional 12 hours.
This cures the materials used to manufacture the fi re-
place.
NOTICE! Open windows for air circulation during ap-
pliance break-in.
• Some people may be sensitive to smoke and odors.
• Smoke detectors may activate.
L. Flame Adjustment Control
Some appliances come equipped with a high/low fl ame
adjustment control.
• Open control access panel
• Compare your valve to Figures 2.4 & 2.5.
• Adjust the fl ame by turning knob as indicated in the photo
matching your valve.
M. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE
Condensation on the glass
Blue fl ames
Odor from appliance
Film on the glass
Metallic noise
Is it normal to see the pilot
fl ame burn continually?
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this
condensation will disappear.
This is a result of normal operation and the fl ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
When fi rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the fi rst several hours. This is
caused by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from fi nishing
materials and adhesives used near the appliance. These circumstances may require additional
curing related to the installation environment.
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within
3 to 4 hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass cleaner may
be necessary. See your dealer.
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of the appliance.
In an IntelliFire ignition system (IPI), the pilot fl ame should turn off when appliance is turned off.
Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot fl ame to remain lit. In a
standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.
