Millivolt appliances may be fitted at time of
manufacture with either a Honeywell millivolt
gas control valve or as SIT millivolt gas control
valve. Both valves have been tested with and
approved for use with these appliances and
are listed accordingly.
Test gage connections are provided on the
front of the millivolt gas control valve (iden-
tified IN for the inlet and OUT for the mani-
fold side). A
" NPT test gage connection is
provided at the inlet and outlet side of
the electronic gas control valve.
Minimum inlet gas pressure to the appliance is
5.0 inches water column (1.24 kPa) for natural
gas and 11 inches water column (2.74 kPa) for
propane for the purpose of input adjustment.
Maximum inlet gas supply pressure to the
appliance is 10.5 inches water column (2.61
kPa) for natural gas and 13.0 inches water
column (3.23 kPa) for propane.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system (by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve) during any pressure test-
ing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at pressures in excess of
(3.5 kPa).
These appliances must not be connected to a
chimney or flue serving a separate solid fuel
burning appliance.

OPERATION AND CARE OF YOUR
APPLIANCE
1. Appliance operation may be controlled
through a remotely located optional wall switch.
Separate switches may provide independent
control for the remote controlled fireplace op-
eration (optional equipment). In lieu of remote
or remote wall switch operation, the appliance
must be operated directly through the controls
located on the front of the valve located within
the control compartment under the removable
access panel, Figure 1 .

Operation of millivolt and electronic gas control
systems are different. Before lighting and op-
erating your appliance determine if you have a
millivolt or electronic appliance. Refer to Figure
1 to access the gas control compartment. Mil-
livolt appliances will be fitted with one of the
two gas control valves shown in Figure 2 .
Appliances with electronic systems will be fit-
ted with the electronic valve shown in Figure 3 .
Familiarize yourself with the differing controls
for the valve your appliance uses.
To light millivolt appliances refer to the detailed
lighting instructions found in both English and
French on pages 10 and 11 of these instruc-
tions respectively. Millivolt and electronic
appliance lighting instructions may also be
found on the pull out labels attached to the
gas control valve located within the gas con-
trol compartment. See Figure 2 to locate the
appropriate location for the spark ignitor used
with your appliance.
If your appliance is equipped with an optional
remote wall switch or remote control kit the
appliance main burner may be turned on and off
with the wall switch or remote control. If the
appliance is not equipped with a wall or remote
control, the main burner must be turned off and
on with the gas control knob. Turn the knob
counter-clockwise from the PILOT position to
ON to light the main burner, and clockwise from
ON to PILOT to turn off the main burner.
To light electronic appliances refer to the de-
tailed lighting instructions found in both En-
glish and French on pages 12 and 13 of these
instructions respectively. Millivolt and elec-
tronic appliance lighting instructions may also
be found on the pull out labels attached to the
gas valve located within the gas control com-
partment. If your appliance is equipped with an
optional remote wall switch or remote control
kit the appliance main burner may be turner on
and off with the wall switch or remote control.
