Finalizing the Installation

! Turn the gas control valve to "OFF" prior to conducting any service.
1 Open the door (see page 16).
2 Install the log set and coals (see page 17).
! We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the door open). This allows gas to be
detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.
3 Close and secure the door (see page 16).
4 Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior to starting the appliance. Start the pilot. Start
the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again.
5 Check the pilot flame to make sure it looks like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if
necessary.
To adjust the pilot flame, turn this screw (NOTE: if totally
unscrewed gas will come out of this port). Clockwise
lowers the flame while counter-clockwise raises it.
6 Let the heater burn
for fifteen minutes.
Adjust the air
shutters, if
necessary, to
achieve the correct
looking flame (see
the illustration
below).
• The air shutter
adjusts the amount
of air that mixes with
the gas before it
exits the burner
holes.
