The OWNER should carefully read and follow these operating
instructions at all times. Remove the barrier to view the gas
controls for the fireplace insert.
1. Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for
standing pilot controls found in this manual and on labels
found in control compartment behind the door assembly.
WARNING
During the initial purging and subsequent lightings, never
allow the gas valve control knob to remain depressed in the
“
pilot
”
position without pushing the piezo ignitor button at
least once every second.
2. During the operating season, leave the control valve knob in
the
“
ON
”
position. This will allow the pilot flame to remain lit.
Turn the burner flame on or off with the fireplace REMOTE/
OFF/ON switch, wall switch or remote controls.
NOTICE:
The gas control valve allows you to increase or
decrease the height of the main burner flame. The control valve
has a pressure regulator with a knob as shown in
Figure E
.
Rotate the knob clockwise to
“
HI
”
to increase the flame height
and counterclockwise to
“
LO
”
to decrease the flame height.
3. When the operating season is over, turn the REMOTE/OFF/
ON switch to
“
OFF
”
and the control valve to
“
OFF
”
. The
system, including the pilot light, will be shut down.
Figure E
Initial Lighting
Upon turning the gas valve on after it has been in the
“
OFF
”
position, a small amount of air will be in the lines. When first
lighting the fireplace insert, it will take a few minutes for the lines
to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete, the
fireplace will light and operate satisfactorily.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require such
purging if the gas valve is not turned to
“
OFF.
”
Pilot Flame
The thermopile/thermocouple (standing pilot) tips should be
surrounded with flame.
