Step 7. CHECKING APPLIANCE OPERA-
TION
With the gas line installed, run initial system
checkout before closing up the front of the
appliance. Follow the pilot lighting instructions
provided in the Care and Operation Instructions.
For piezo igniter location see Figure 49 (millivolt
appliances only).
Note: The (pull-out) Lighting instructions label
can be found in the control compartment
(see Figure 49).
When first lighting the appliance, it will take
a few minutes for the line to purge itself of
air. Once purging is complete, the pilot and
burner will light and operate as indicated in
the instruction manual. Subsequent lightings
of the appliance will not require such purging.
Inspect the pilot flame.
Millivolt Appliance Checkout
The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting
or floating. Flame should be blue in color with
traces of orange at the outer edge.
The top 3/8" (10 mm) at the pilot generator
(thermopile) and the top 1/8" min (tip) of the
quick drop out thermocouple should be engulfed
in the pilot flame. The flame should project 1"
(25 mm) beyond the hood at all three ports
(Figure 50).
To light the burner; rotate the gas valve control
knob counterclockwise to the "ON" position
then turn "ON" the OFF/ON switch (installed
at Step 4).
Observe the individual tongues of flame on
the burner. Make sure all ports are open and
producing flame evenly across the burner. If
any ports are blocked, or partially blocked,
clean out the ports.

To light the burner, turn 'ON' the OFF/ON switch
(located in the control compartment). Ensure the
igniter lights the pilot. The pilot flame should
engulf the flame rod as shown in Figure 51.
Observe the individual tongues of flame on
the burner. Make sure all ports are open and
producing flame evenly across the burner. If
any ports are blocked, or partially blocked,
clean out the ports.

WARNING: Logs get very hot
and will remain hot up to one
hour after gas supply is turned
off. Handle only when logs are
cool. Turn off all electricity to
the appliance before you install
grate and logs.
WARNING: This appliance is
not designed to burn wood. Any
attempt to do so could cause
irreparable damage to the appli-
ance and prove hazardous to
your safety.
