How to Change Burners – Switching Burners
If the fireplace is being operated on one burner, and it is desired
to change and operate the other burner, first turn the other burner
"ON" before turning the original burner "OFF".
Example: If the front burner is operating and you would like to op-
erate the rear burner instead, first turn the rear burner switch "ON",
wait a second, then turn the front burner switch "OFF". Following
this sequence will speed the change from one burner to the other
and prevent the fireplace from locking out and requiring a reset.
The table below outlines the input rate of both front and rear burn-
ers.
