Many of the components within this fireplace are designed
specifically for safety purposes. It is therefore imperative
that only certified gas service technicians install and
service this fireplace.
Main Burner Operation:
A millivolt system controls the operation of this
fireplace. The thermopile and thermocouple generate
electricity when heated by the pilot flame. This electricity is
used to operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the
gas valve will not turn on. That is why when starting the pilot
the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for the
thermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The
thermopile provides power for the ON/OFF switch, remote
control, or thermostat. Because the thermopile generates
the electricity needed to turn the fireplace on and off, this
fireplace can be operated when the power is out (although
the blower will not run).
Gas Buildup Prevention Feature:
This appliance's utilization of a high-technology gas
valve in conjunction with a pilot flame ensures that no gas
builds up inside the firebox.
The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the
pilot flame is lit. If the pilot flames goes out, this thermocouple
no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to
automatically shut off all gas to the heater, preventing the
pilot from spilling gas into the firebox.
