MATERIALS AWAY
• Make sure your stove is in good condition. Verify that the door close perfectly and that all controls work as
per specifications. Vent must be in perfect condition and sealed.
• Make sure your stove has been fabricated in respect with the type of gas you are using. Refer to the rating
plate installed on the back of your stove.
• The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa); The appliance
must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less that ½ psi.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control, which has been
under water. Make sure that there are no obstructions in the air intake or venting system.
• Clear the immediate area of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and vapors.
• Make sure that the logs are in the right position.

Lighting Instructions

During the first few hours of operation, the appliance will release an odor. This is caused by the burning off of
residual oils used in the manufacturing process and by the curing of the high heat paint. Open a window to get
fresh air inside the house. The ceramic glass window may require cleaning after this initial fire. Please read
the instructions on cleaning in the MAINTENANCE section before doing so.
First Lighting
WARNING : If you do not follow these lighting instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury, or death.
• Make sure the gas control knob is turned to the "OFF" position. If it is not, press the knob slightly and turn it
clockwise to the "OFF" position. Do not force the gas control knob. If the gas control was in the "ON"
position, you should wait 5 minutes before trying to re-light the stove.
• If you smell gas, STOP and follow instructions on the COVER page.
• Locate the pilot on the right side under log #1.
• Push in and turn gas control knob counterclockwise
• Press gas control knob in and hold. Immediately push the red igniter button repeatedly until pilot flame
ignites. Continue holding in the control knob for 5 to 10 seconds, and then release it. If the pilot flame goes
out, repeat this step.
Note: you might have to push the igniter (red button) a couple of times before getting a pilot flame.
• Push and turn gas control knob counterclockwise
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The gas valve is equipped with a thermopile (thermo generator) and a thermocouple. The thermopile while
warm up by the pilot flame supplies the necessary energy to the operation of the gas control valve. As
long as there's no flame failure, the valve let the gas flowing to the stove.
Let your stove cool down between two lightings: If you attempt to relight your appliance while the
thermocouple is still warm, the control valve will not let the gas flow to the burner. Wait a few minutes to
cool the thermocouple down.
