Well Head Gas Installations
Some natural gas utilities use “well head” gas. This may affect
the Btu output of the unit and promote sooting. Units shall not be
converted to use well head gas.
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the
rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases.
WARNING
Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.
Improper installation or use of the heater can cause serious
injury or death from fire, burns, explosion or carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Operation
This unvented fireplace requires no outside venting. State and local
codes in some areas prohibit the use of unvented fireplace.
Millivolt Controls
The valve regulator controls the burner pressure which should be
checked at the pressure test point. Turn captured screw counter
clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then place tubing to pressure gauge over
test point (Use test point “A” closest to control knob). After taking
pressure reading, be sure and turn captured screw clockwise firmly
to re-seal. Do not over torque. Check for gas leaks.
Millivolt System
When you ignite the pilot, the thermocouple produces millivolts
(electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve. After
30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas control
knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow your pilot flame to operate
an additional one to two minutes before you turn the gas control
knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This time period
allows the millivolts (electrical current) to build-up to a sufficient
level allowing the gas control to operate properly.
WARNING
This appliance is equipped for (Natural Gas or Propane) Gas.
Field conversion is not permitted.
