MILLIVOLT STANDING PILOT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Millivolt System
The standing pilot burns continuously even when the main burner
is OFF.
When you ignite the pilot, the thermopile produces millivolts
(electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve.
Once lighted wait 30 seconds, release the gas control knob, and
the pilot will stay ON. Allow the pilot flame to burn an additional
one to two minutes before you turn the gas control knob from
the PILOT position to the ON position. This allows the millivolts
current to build-up to a sufficient level to operate the gas control
properly.
1. Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for
standing pilot controls found in this manual and on labels
found in control compartment behind the door assembly.
During the initial purging and subsequent lightings, never
allow the gas valve control knob to remain depressed
in the "pilot" position without pushing the piezo ignitor
button at least once every second.
2. During the operating season, leave the control valve knob in
the "ON" position. This will allow the pilot flame to remain lit.
Turn the burner flame on or off with the fireplace REMOTE/
OFF/ON switch, wall switch or remote controls.
NOTICE: The gas control valve allows you to increase or
decrease the height of the main burner flame. The control valve
has a pressure regulator with a knob as shown in Figure 72.
Rotate the knob clockwise to "HI" to increase the flame height
and counterclockwise to "LO" to decrease the flame height.
3. When the heating season ends, turn the REMOTE/OFF/ON
switch to "OFF" and the control valve to "OFF". The system,
including the pilot light, will be shut down.

The OWNER should carefully read and follow these operating
instructions.
Initial Lighting
Remove the access panel to view the gas controls for the
fireplace. Upon completing the gas line or turning the gas valve
on after it has been in the "OFF" position, a small amount of air
will be in the lines. When first lighting the fireplace, it will take a
few minutes for the lines to purge this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and operate satisfactorily.
Subsequent lightings will not require purging if the gas valve is
not turned to OFF.
Pilot Flame
The pilot flame should cover the thermopile and thermocouple.
