HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
In Canada, this unit is approved from 0 to 4500 feet above
sea level. Installation of this stove at altitudes above 4500
feet is subject to field test of the individual installation and
approval by the local authority having jurisdiction.
In the United States, input ratings of this unit are based
on sea level operation, and shall not be changed for operation
at elevations up to 2000 feet. For operation at elevations
above 2000 feet, this stove shall be reduced at the rate of
4% for each 1000 feet above sea level.
Exception: As permitted by the authority having jurisdiction.
To adjust stove for operation above 2000 feet the burner
orifices may need to be changed. The orifices are located
beneath the log set so it is necessary to first remove the logs.
To do so please refer to the following detailed instructions to
achieve optimum performance of your stove.

undertaken by a qualified and certified gas appliance
installer.

Read this entire manual prior to using the fireplace. Pay
particular attention to the "Safety Precautions" section on
pages 6-9. Failure to follow the instructions may result in
property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
MAIN BURNER .................. This control is used to turn the
fireplace on and off.
PILOT IGNITOR ................ The pilot ignitor is used only to
start the pilot. When pressed, it sends an electrical charge to
the pilot assembly. This creates a blue spark directly next to
the pilot, igniting the pilot flame.
VALVE CONTROL ............. This knob is used to control gas
to the fireplace and for starting the pilot. There are three
positions, ON, OFF, & PILOT. The pointer on the panel
indicates the position of the knob.
COMFORT CONTROL....... This knob controls the flame height
from low ("LO") to high ("HI").
FAN SPEED ....................... This knob controls the speed of
the internal convection blower that pushes the heated air
into the room.
NOTE: If using a remote control or thermostat, the On/Off
Switch must be left "OFF". Turning the On/Off Switch "ON"
will keep the fireplace on continually.
