System Check

1. PURGING THE GAS LINE: When lighting the appliance
for the first time, it will take a few moments to clear
the gas line of air. Once this purge is complete, the
appliance will operate as described in the lighting
instructions. From a cold start, it may be helpful to
let the pilot light burn for 10 - 15 minutes to establish
positive draft, before turning the burner on. See the
inside back cover of this manual or the stove Rating
Plate attached to the rear shroud. Subsequent burner
starts will not require purging the gas line unless the
supply line is shut off.
2. PILOT FLAME: You can monitor the pilot flame
through the view port located at the rear of the Right
Log. See fig. 37. The pilot flame should be steady - not
lifting or floating. The flame should be blue in color
around the pilot hood, with traces of yellow toward
the outer edges.
The pilot flame should engulf the top 3/8" of the
thermopile (to generate millivolt current) and the
top 1/8" of the thermocouple. The pilot flame should
project out of all three pilot hood ports 1" and over to
the burner plate carry-over ports. See figs. 37 and 37a.
3. BURNER ADJUSTMENT: This stove is equipped with
a variable gas control valve that allows easy adjust-
ment of the flame height and heat output. To adjust
the flame intensity, rotate the HI/LOW knob.
Flame height will adjust approximately 50% between
the LOW and HIGH settings. See fig. 38.
NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE PRESENT. CHECK
LOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS PRESENT.
IF SOOT OR SMOKE PERSISTS, THE AIR SHUTTER MAY
NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.
See Air Shutter/Flame Appearance section of this
manual for proper air shutter settings and adjust-
ments. Note: the more offsets there are in the vent
system, the greater the need for an air shutter adjust-
ment. See page 20.
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY BE PER-
FORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
