Page 35: Replace The Glass
Finalizing the Installation We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas to be detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up. Replace the glass (and arch covers when using arched faces - see page 29). Turn on the gas to the fireplace.
Page 36: Explain Operation To Home-Owner
Finalizing the Installation configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off gas to the fireplace and contact the dealer for information on remedying the problem. This fireplace has been tested at altitudes up to 8,000 feet. In this testing we have found that the fireplace, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.
Page 37: Operation
Before You Begin Warning: 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. Warning: Do not operate appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
Page 38: 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 39: Starting The Fireplace For The First Time
Starting the Fireplace 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.
Page 40: Adjusting The Blower Speed
Adjusting the Blower Speed The internal blower helps transfer the heat from the fireplace into the room. It will not turn on until the fireplace is up to temperature (approximately 10 minutes after starting). See the illustration below for instructions on adjusting the blower speed.
Page 41: Maintenance
Maintenance Maintaining Your Fireplace's Appearance Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional plated surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior to turning the heater on.
