CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING 

After  completing  and  checking  electrical, 
gas and vent connections, follow the lighting 
instructions and allow the main burner to run 
for approximately 5 minutes. Hold a lighted 
match or cigarette near the top edge of fire

-

place opening and play it along entire length 

of  opening  (see  Figure  12).  Proper  venting 
should tend to draw the flame or smoke into 
the appliance. Improper venting or escaping 
of spillage of burned gas, is indicated when 
the match flickers or goes out. Smoke from a 
cigarette will also tend to disperse away from 

the appliance.

If  the  appliance  is  found  to  be  improperly 
venting,  shut  it  off  and  notify  your  installer 
or a qualified service agency to inspect the 
venting system.

NOTICE:  This  appliance  is 

equipped  with  a  vent  safety 

shutoff  switch  which  will  shut 

down the appliance in the case of 

a venting problem. Do not bypass 

the vent safety switch. If the appli

-

ance should shut down, contact a 

qualified installer, service agency 

or your gas supplier to have the 

vent inspected before operating.

WALL SWITCH INSTALLATION

The  installation  of  a  wall  switch  allows  you 
to activate the gas control valve and turn the 
fireplace on and off. The wall switch is to be 

connected  to  the  incoming  120  volt  regular 

household  wiring  that  supplies  electricity  to 
the fireplace. Refer to wiring diagram in this 

manual on page 18.

OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL 

INSTALLATION (M

odel

 WRC)

Note:  If  using  optional  wireless  hand-held 

remote control, wall switch must be in the ON 
position to be operational. The remote control 
then becomes the switching mechanism for 

fireplace operation.

ing (see Figure 13).

2.  The WRC model receiver does not require 

a  battery.  Receiver  can  be  installed  by 
plugging  the  short  extension  cord  into 
fireplace  receptacle.  Plug  receiver  unit 
into extension cord. Plug ignition module 
plug into receiver unit (see Figure 14).
