6.1

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The on-off switch is located on the back of the appliance at the top left corner on models GDS50 and GS50.
6.2

TURBO BURNER OPERATION

The purpose of the turbo burner is to increase heat output of BTUs of the appliance and will only operate when
the main burner is functioning. To turn the turbo burner on, simply depress the burner control knob (located in
the valve compartment at the left hand side below the piezo ignitor) and rotate the knob counter-clockwise to
'high'.
The turbo burner fl ame can be observed on the refl ective surface in the back right corner of the fi rebox.
The burner fl ame height may now be adjusted to achieve the heat output required. Because the fl ame is very
effi cient it will burn a very blue, almost transparent colour.
To turn off the burner, rotate the control knob clockwise to 'high'; depress the knob and turn it to off.
6.3

SPILL SWITCH - GS50 ONLY

This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back of the chimney adapter, which senses the change
in temperature and shuts down the gas valve in the event of a severe downdraft of air or a blocked or
disconnected vent. It acts as a safety shut-off to prevent a build up of carbon monoxide or an explosion of
unburnt gases during start up. If the fl ue is blocked or has no 'draw', the spill switch will automatically shut off
the supply of gas within about 5-10 minutes.
TAMPERING WITH THE SWITCH CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) POISONING AND
POSSIBLE DEATH.
VENTING ACTION CHECK: A check for correct venting action must be made before
the installed appliance is left with the customer. Test in the following manner.
• Close all doors and windows in the room / start exhaust fans in the home / turn
appliance blower off (if equipped).
• Set controls to 'high' and light the appliance.
• Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and extend it 1" into the hole located above the
spill switch bracket on the adapter.
• Venting action is satisfactory if the fl ame stays lit. Venting action is
unsatisfactory if the fl ame extinguishes.
• If venting action is unsatisfactory, turn the appliance off, wait 10 minutes and try
again. If the match does not stay lit, turn the appliance off and check for vent
blockage or restriction. If necessary, consult with a qualifi ed inspector.
