Continuous Pilot / GreenSmart™ Pilot Switch
This fireplace may run with the pilot continuously running or in GreenSmart (intermittent) mode. For most
homeowners, the GreenSmart mode is preferred (this saves fuel, doesn't give off un-needed heat).
However, in some situations the homeowner may prefer to switch the fireplace to continuous pilot. The
most typical reasons for switching to continuous pilot are:
Very Cold Conditions – in very cold conditions you may notice that the burner does not light quickly,
and the flames lift off the burner. If this is situation, we recommend you switch to continuous pilot.
This will create a slight draft in the vent, allowing for the burner to light quickly and draft correctly.
Excessive Condensation on Glass after Startup – certain installations may encounter excessive
fogging on the window after startup (not just the first time the fireplace was started). This is an
aesthetic condition that may be remedied by switching the fireplace to continuous pilot.
Cold Glass or Fireplace Front – in very cold conditions you may notice that the fireplace front and
glass become very cold. To remedy this, switch the fireplace to continuous pilot.
Frequent On / Off Operation – if you are frequently turning the fireplace on and off, you may wish to
leave it in continuous pilot. This allows the burner to turn on more quickly, without pilot ignition delay.
Starting the Heater for the First Time
Burn the heater at a high setting with the blower off for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will
cure the painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This
is normal. We recommend opening a window to vent the room.
Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the heater - this is normal.
Blue Flames will occur on the heater when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will turn
a more realistic yellow and orange color.
Verify the batteries are installed.
Adjusting the Blower Speed
The blower helps transfer heat from the heater into the room. It will not turn on until the heater is up to
temperature (approximately 10 minutes after starting). See page 8 for details on adjusting the blower
speed.
Normal Operating Odors
This appliance has several areas that reach high temperatures. Dust or other particles on these areas
may burn and create an odor. This is normal during start-up. You may notice the smell is more acute if
the appliance was left idle for a long period.
Power Outages
Four AA batteries are used as a power backup for the fireplace in case the household (AC) power goes out. These
batteries must be inserted into battery holder (or remove receiver is using the optional GS thermostatic remote). The
fireplace controller will beep once these batteries start to go dead. Replace batteries before each heating season to
insure proper operation.
