Operating Your Fire
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flame
supervision device which will shut-off the gas supply
if, for any reason, the pilot flame goes out. This device
incorporates a fixed probe, which senses the heat
from the pilot flame. If the probe is cool, the device will
prevent any gas flow unless the burner control knob is
kept pushed in at the PILOT position. See full lighting
instructions on page 23 of this manual.
Cleaning
WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT!
Let the fireplace cool first before cleaning it.
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically.
During startup, condensation, which is normal, forms
on the inside of the glass and causes dust, lint etc. to
cling to the glass surface. Initially paint, while curing,
may deposit a slight film on the glass. We therefore
recommend that, during the first few weeks of use,
the glass be cleaned two or three times with non-
abrasive common household cleaners and warm
water. Ammonia based cleaners should not be used.
Subsequently, the glass should be cleaned two or
three times a season depending on the circumstances.
Do not clean the glass while it is hot. Always securely
replace the window before lighting. If broken, the
glass pane may only be replaced as a complete
window unit as supplied by the manufacturer.
It is necessary to remove the cast iron fret and
brackets before removing the window—see section
Cast Iron Fret Installation).

Checks
A periodic check of the pilot and burner flames should
be made. Check after the fire has been on for at least
30 minutes. The pilot flame must cover the tip of the
thermocouple probe. The main burner flame pattern
will vary from appliance to appliance depending on the
type of installation and climatic conditions—see images
below.
Correct Flame Picture
The appliance area must always be kept clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
Inspect the vent terminal outdoors regularly to make
sure that, snow, leaves, bushes, trees, etc, do not
obstruct it.
Examine the vent system and terminal regularly. We
recommend annually.
