CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING
After completing and checking the 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 the fireplace opening
and play it along the entire length of the 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 appliance
should shut down, contact a quali-
fied 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 the 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, the wall switch must be in the ON position
to be operational. The remote control then becomes
the switching mechanism for fireplace operation.
1. Remove the front refractory access panel by
lifting up and angling out of the firebox open-
ing (see Figure 13).
2. The WRC model receiver does not require a
battery. The receiver can be installed by first
plugging the short extension cord into the
fireplace receptacle. Then plug the receiver
unit into the extension cord. Finally plug the
ignition module plug into the receiver unit (see
Figure 14).
