5.0 OpErATION

If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh air. If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep burner and
control compartment clean.
When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the curing
of the logs and the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again. After extended
periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may emit a slight odour for a few hours.
This is caused by dust particles burning off. In both cases, open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
● This fireplace is equipped with a pilot which must be lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.
● Before operating smell all around the fireplace area for gas and next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
● Use only your hand to push in and turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in and turn by hand, do not try
to repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
● Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the fireplace and
replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
● Do not try to light any appliance.
● Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.
● Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
● If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
When lighting and re-lighting, the gas knob cannot be turned from pilot to off unless the knob is depressed.
A. STOP! Read the above safety information on this label.
B. Set the thermostat to lowest setting.
C. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.
D. Open the control door. Turn the gas knob clockwise to off.
E. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell gas including near the floor, STOP! Follow "B" in the above safety information
on this label. If you don't smell gas go to the next step.
F. Find pilot located in front of the back log.
G. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.
H. Depress and hold gas knob while lighting the pilot with the push button ignitor. Keep knob fully depressed for one minute, then
release. If pilot does not continue to burn repeat steps 3 through 7.
I. With pilot lit, turn gas knob counter-clockwise to on. When the pilot has been turned off,
ignition of the main burner may be delayed from 1-2 minutes. When the pilot has been left
burning, ignition of the main burner should occur almost immediatley.
J. If equipped with remote on-off switch, main burner may not come on when you turn the valve to on. Remote switch must be in
the on position to ignite burner.
K. Turn on all electric power to the fireplace.
A. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace if service is to be performed.
B. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise to off. Do not force.

6.0 mAINTENANCE

TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE FIREPLACE.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify
proper operation after servicing. This heater should be inspected and serviced before use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids. The flow of combus-
tion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
● In order to properly clean the burner and oxygen depletion sensor system, remove the logs to expose both assemblies.
● Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.
● Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which may not be burning or are not burning properly.
● Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and promptly ignites the main burner.
● Replace the cleaned logs as instructed. Failure to properly position the logs may cause carboning which can be distributed in the
surrounding living area.
● Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all openings when the gas knob for the burner is turned on. A 5 to 10 second total
light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your Authorized dealer / distributor.
