How to start the pilot light

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
February 10, 2025

To start the pilot light on a Firegear AF-1100 Valve Series, follow these steps:

1. Read Warnings: Carefully read all safety warnings and instructions in the manual.

2. Smell for Gas: Smell around the appliance area for gas, especially near the floor since LP gas is heavier than air.

3. Turn Off Gas Control Knob: Push the gas control knob slightly and turn it clockwise to the "OFF" position. Do not force it.

4. Turn On Manual Shut-Off Valve: Slowly turn on the gas at the manual shut-off valve next to the fireplace.

5. Wait Five Minutes: Stop and wait for five minutes to ensure there is no gas buildup.

6. Check for Gas Smell: If you smell gas, stop. Turn off the gas at the manual shut-off valve, check all connections for leaks, and correct them before proceeding.

7. Locate the Pilot: The pilot is located at the rear, left-center of the burner.

8. Light the Pilot: Use a long hearth match, hand fire starter, or another approved method to light the pilot. Always light the unit using the Safety Pilot.

9. Follow Safety Instructions: Ensure all steps are followed exactly to avoid hazards.

Do not use tools to turn the gas control knob. If the knob does not turn by hand, contact a qualified service technician or installer.
