Contacts Options/Operation Ignition: Close contacts 0 (orange) and 2 (brown) simultaneously for 1 second. Fireplace automatically goes to high after ignition. Up Flame: Close contacts 0 (orange) and 1 (red) simultaneously. The contact needs to be closed for 12 seconds to turn the motor from end-stop to end-stop.
Interior Design Media Media Placement Guidelines When installing media, adhere to the following general guidelines: Keep the media back from the pilot hood so at least one burner port is open. Crowding around the pilot hood may hinder lighting and could result in potential damage to the fireplace and surrounding area or personal injury. Do not use the hood to support media.
Page 50
Log Media Placement Place the logs carefully to block as few ports as possible. If a log is placed over a port, block the port with a “coin” to keep the flame from creating soot on the media or to manipulate the look of the flame. COINS Block as few ports as possible, and no more than 30% of total ports.
