Burn-in Period
The first few times this fireplace is operated, there will be an odor from the curing of paint and the burning off of the
lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Depending on usage, the burn-in period may take a few hours or a
few days.
NOTE: Ventilate the site during the burn-in period. The resulting odor and haze may set off a smoke detector. Do not
operate the blower during the burn-in period.
A white film may develop on the glass front during the first few fires as part of the burn-in period. The glass
should be kept clean during the burn-in period to prevent the film from baking on—making it very difficult to
remove (Cleaning the glass door and firebox on Page 59).

Gas Controls
Shutoff Valves
As part of your fireplace installation, the installer may have provided a readily accessible gas shutoff valve near
your fireplace. Make sure this valve is fully open before operating the fireplace. If gas is not flowing to the pilot and
burner, the service shutoff valve located in the fireplace control compartment may need to be opened. Contact your
dealer or distributor for more information.
To access the service shutoff valve, remove the bezel (if applicable), glass door, burner, floor panels, and control
compartment access panel in the fireplace floor.
Remote Control System
The remote control system provides remote operation of the following fireplace functions:
• Primary burner ON/OFF
• Flame height and heat output adjustment (six levels)
• Blower fan speed (six levels)
• Lighting ON/OFF (for optional Panel Backlight Kit)
The wall switch receiver accepts commands via radio frequency from the remote control transmitter and does not
require line-of-sight operation. The slider switch on the receiver can be set to one of three positions:
• ON (manual override)
• OFF (manual override)
• REMOTE (remote control)
Detailed lighting instructions are found on Page 64. Also, electronic fireplace lighting instructions are found on the
pull-out lighting instructions tied to the bracket under the door.
