"OFF". NOTE: Dial cannot be turned from "PILOT" to
"OFF" unless dial is pushed slightly.

Depress Gas Cock Dial and push in red Piezo igniter button. Once pilot ignites, continue depressing dial for about 1/2 minute.
If pilot does not remain ignited, repeat operation allowing a longer period before releasing Gas Dial.
IMPORTANT: After pilot is lit, system millivolt readings and gas pressure should be taken by qualified installer.
Pilot flame must register a minimum of 325 millivolt.

After pilot is lit and before installing logs, turn Gas Dial to "ON" and "cycle" the burner on/off to make certain it ignites
promptly and that the flame runs smoothly around burner curve and promptly lights entire burner.

With pilot operating, install log module and coals (see pg. 34-38). With logs/coals in place, "cycle" the burner again to make
sure of prompt ignition of burner and that the flame runs smoothly around entire burner and does not "lift off" burner.
NOTE: Logs will produce a strong, acrid odor on initial contact with flames (about 2 hrs.).

Turn Gas Dial counterclockwise to "ON" then set Thermostat to turn on burner.
Main burner should now light IMMEDIATELY and flame should not "lift" off burner. If there is any delay in
ignition or if flame is "lifting off" burner, turn off burner and carefully check for proper installation of
logs/coals, vent system and proper pilot flame impingement on burner and thermopile. Logs or coals must
not block pilot flame or main burner flame. Vent system must be leak proof.
