Carefully cut the black tie wraps which hold
the line set to the bottom of the fireplace then
carefully unwrap the line set. Lay the line set
out towards the location of the Access Door.
Do not kink the lineset and do not bend to a
radius of less than 2”/50

TEST FIRE
Prior to being placed into operation, the fireplace should be test-fired in stages to ensure that all components are in good working
order. This fireplace has a 2
nd
thermocouple which senses the burner flame.
The system will turn itself off if the system does not
sense the 2
nd
thermocouple output within 29 seconds after the valve opens.
If 2
nd
thermocouple is still hot enough to produce electricity at the receiver thus preventing the fireplace from starting, the remote
will flash “OFF” to signal this safety lock out. Allow time for the 2
nd
thermocouple to cool down before attempting a start. The
system is ready to start when the flashing “OFF” becomes solid on the remote and pressing the ON/OFF button produces a response
from the valve.
1. Start the fireplace with the hearth panel out and with the front glass off. Ensure that the pilot flame both heats the primary
thermocouple and lights the burner. For safety, a post-purge delay is built into the system. Subsequent start attempts
MUST NOT take place for at least thirty (30) seconds.
2. Start the fireplace with the hearth panel in place and with all of the glass panels fixed correctly in place. Ensure that the
main burner flames engulf the 2
nd
thermocouple and the fireplace stays lit for at least 1 full minute. If the system turns itself
off after 29 seconds install the required media (next section) and return here. Installing the fire media will help with the
flame around the 2
nd
thermocouple. Subsequent start attempts MUST NOT take place for at least five (5) minutes.
3. Start the fireplace with the media installed. If the system turns itself off after 29 seconds, rearrange the media to produce
a good flame at the 2
nd
thermocouple. This step may have to be repeated several times before the media is in the best
place for consistent operation. A single, long beep indicates that the 2
nd
thermocouple is still too hot to start the ignition
sequence. Allow time for the 2
nd
thermocouple to cool down. Once the system stays lit for at least one full minute, turn
the fireplace off, fix the glass panels in place and operate the fireplace for at least 45 minutes to ensure the system works
properly when heated.
