  • Page 31: Leak Test

    Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes. Adjust the air shutters, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame (see the illustration below). • The air shutter adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas before it exits the burner holes. ADJUSTING THE AIR SHUTTERS Pushing the control to the left gives the flame less air (making it more orange).

  • Page 32: Check Flame

    Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 10" tall. Check the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does not work correctly, contact your dealer for a remedy.

  • Page 33: Operation

    Before You Begin Read this entire manual before you use your new fireplace (especially the section "Safety Precautions" on pages 4 & 5). Failure to follow the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. Location of Controls - See explanation below The pilot flame is located below the rear log.

  • Page 34: Starting The Pilot

    Starting The Pilot Flame The pilot flame is required to ignite the main burners (it also plays a safety role). It should be left on once lit. It will stay lit unless the gas control valve is turned to "OFF". However, the pilot will go out if the gas is shut off, the propane tank runs out (or low) or if the stove malfunctions.

  • Page 35: Starting The Fireplace For The First Time

    Turning the Fireplace On and Off After the pilot has been started... Use this switch to turn the main burner on and off manually.
