Operating Instructions
WARNING:
This gas appliance is automated; it runs off an electric ignition system and may not be lit
with a lighter or matches.
How your appliance works
Ignition
When you switch the appliance on, electrical power is supplied to the control module, starting the ignition
sequence. During ignition, the igniter will heat up. Gas is then turned on to the appliance. The appliance will
ignite, and the thermopile will signal the control module that the appliance is lit, and the igniter will then turn off.
NOTE: In rare cases, the appliance will fail to light. In these cases, the appliance will wait 30 seconds, then re-
start the 30-second ignition sequence. The control module will try to restart the appliance a total of 3 times. If it
fails to light after three tries, the appliance will then shut off. To re-start, turn the switch off, wait 5 minutes, then
turn the switch on.
Appliance in Operation
The appliance, once lit, will stay lit until the switch is turned off. If the gas flow is interrupted, or if wind blows out
the flame, the fireplace will start the 1-1/2 minutes (90 seconds) ignition sequence.
Safety Circuit
Each appliance has a built-in safety circuit that only allows gas to flow during the ignition sequence and when the
appliance is lit. This prevents gas buildup. The safety circuit relies upon a thermopile to keep the gas valve open.
If the flame goes out the control module will shut the gas off, then try to relight the appliance. Your appliance can
not be operated manually if a problem persists consult the troubleshooting guide (pg. 38) and call a qualified
service technician if needed.
