Owner's Information

Checking Pilot and Burner Flames

A periodic check of the pilot and burner fl ames should
be made. Check after the fi re has been on for at least
30 minutes. The pilot fl ame must cover the tip of the
thermocouple probe. The main burner fl ame pattern will
vary from appliance to appliance depending on the type
of installation and climatic conditions.
Pilot Flame can be seen
between left front and top logs
Rock fuel bed
A black discoloration may form over time at the front
bottom of the 6-rock original fuel bed; this deposit
can be burned off by running the fi replace on a low
to medium setting fi re for 30 to 45 minutes. This
discoloration is unavoidable and will re-form again.
The appliance area must always be kept clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
fl ammable vapors and liquids.
Inspect the vent terminal outdoors regularly to make
sure that snow, trees, bushes, leaves, or other objects
do not obstruct it.
Examine the vent system and terminal regularly. We
recommend annually.
