Page 20: Finishing The Fireplace
6 FINISHING THE FIREPLACE 3‐COAT PLASTER FINISH The Adobelite fireplace can be finished with any indoor plaster system. Typically a 3‐coat gypsum plaster system is used. The first coat (base coat) should contain fiberglass and sand. This will provide a solid base for the other coats. The first coat can be mixed slightly on the dry side to help it bond to the Kiva Frame wire mesh. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the 2nd coat. The 2nd coat should contain fiberglass, and may or may not contain sand and cement. Many indoor plasters are gypsum based. Apply the 2nd coat using a trowel, and then smooth out the plaster using water and a float (or sponge). When complete the 2nd coat will be fairly smooth but will have a “grainy” of stucco finish. Allow one full week or more for the first two coats to completely dry before applying the final coat of plaster. The final coat does not generally contain fiberglass and is applied with a hard trowel to give a smooth appear‐ ance, but can be also be finished any way desired.

Page 22: Operation And Trouble Shooting
7 OPERATING AND TROUBLESHOOTING OPERATING THE FIREPLACE IMPORTANT: WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS. 1) Shut off gas to fireplace. 2) Extinguish and flame. 3) Go to a phone outside your home and call your gas supplier. If you can’t reach your gas supplier, call the Fire Department. The Adobelite Gas Fireplace uses an electronic/intermittent pilot system. When the wall switch is flipped to the on position, the control system sends a spark and ignites the pilot light. Once the heat sensing rod at the pilot heats up, the main burner turns on and ignites. When the wall switch is turned off both the main burner and pi‐ lot light will turn off. 1. Fully open the Keyed Gas Shutoff Valve located on the wall (shown on Page 9). 2. Flip the Wall Switch to the “on” position. You may hear a “clicking” sound as the igniter lights the pilot flame. If this is the first time operating the fireplace it may take several seconds for the air in the gas line to bleed out before the pilot ignites. 3. When done using the fireplace, flip the wall switch to the “off” position. It is not necessary to close the Keyed Gas Shutoff Valve when you are not using the fireplace. TROUBLE SHOOTING ... -
