LTR20081006, Rev. A
Operation
WARNING: DO NOT use solid fuel, such as
wood or charcoal, in gas fueled fireplaces
or fire pits.
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small
amount of air will be in the lines. When the first lighting
the burner, it will take a few seconds for the lines to
purge themselves of this air.
Once the purging is complete, the burner will light
and operate as indicated in the instruction manual.
Subsequent lighting of the appliance will not require
purging unless the gas supply has been disconnected.
Always keep the appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and any other flammable
vapors and liquids.
For fireplaces with a waterfall, make sure that there
is no debris in the filler pan. The pump will recirculate
water up through the fireplace and then filter down the
sides and front. It is also important that you maintain a
consistent water level. Running the pump dry will burn
out the pump motor.
Inspect the burner before each use of the appliance. If
there is any evidence that the burner is damaged, it must
replaced before operating. Upon completing the gas line
connection, a small amount of air will be in the lines.
When first lighting the burner, it will take a few minutes
for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Subsequent
lighting of the appliance will not require such purging.
Never allow the ON/OFF valve to remain in the open
position without placing a burning match on top of the
burner FIRST!
You must have clear and easy access to the ON / OFF
valve AFTER the appliance is installed and connected to
the gas supply in order to safely turn of the burner.
Make sure the burner is in place prior to using the
appliance. If the burner is damaged, install a replacement
burner as specified by the manufacturer.
For your safety, read before lighting.
Before operating smell all around the appliance area
for gas odors and next to the floor because some
gases are heavier then air and will settle on the
floor.
Use only your hand to turn the manual gas control
valve. Never use tools. If the valve will not turn by
hand, do not try to repair it. Call a qualified service
technician. Force or attempted repair may result in
a fire or explosion,
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the appliance and replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
Make sure the ignitor battery has been installed
properly. Ignitor will not operate properly without a
battery installed.
