1. Turn off the gas to the fireplace.
If not recently done, remove the
glass and let the unit air out for at least five (5) minutes to
clear out any gas.
Turn on gas to the heater.
2. Start the pilot by pressing the gas control knob (Figure 5) and turning it
to PILOT. While pushing the gas control knob in, press the piezo ignitor
several times until the pilot light starts. Hold the gas control knob in for
30 seconds. Check that the pilot has fully engulfed the thermocouple
assembly (see Figure 3).

Behind the valve access door is the air shutter adjustment levers on the right hand side of the venturi
box (see Figure 4) above the control panel. The air shutters allow the amount of air coming into the
fireplace to be adjusted in order to accommodate different climates and venting arrangements. The left
shutter adjusts the rear burner and the right shutter adjusts the front burner. Start the pilot and then the
burner. Make sure the pilot flame is burning normally and none of the burner ports are plugged. Let the
fireplace burn for roughly fifteen minutes and then examine the flames, compare the flames to Figure 47
on page 35.
The ideal flame will be blue at the base and light orange above. The flames should be of medium height.
If the flames look like this, no venturi adjustment is needed. If the flames are fairly short and mostly blue,
the fireplace is getting too much air. Therefore, the air shutter should be closed (pushed in) slightly until
the correct flames are achieved. Flames that are very orange, with tall, dark, stringy tips, are not getting
enough air. Open (pull out) the venturi until the flames clean up. If the shut is opened, or closed all the
way, and the correct flames cannot be attained, turn off the gas and contact the dealer.
Warning:
Incorrect shutter adjustment may lead to improper combustion, which is a safety hazard.
Contact the dealer if there is any concern about the venturi adjustment.

This fireplace can use an optional remote control or wall thermostat. If either of these are to be used
to control the fireplace for the majority of the time, leave the burner switch (Figure 7) in the remote/
thermostat position. Consult the instructions included with the remote/wall thermostat for operation
guidelines.
