CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING
After completing and checking the electrical,
gas and vent connections, follow the light-
ing 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
1). 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 qualified installer, ser-
vice 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 10 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 (Model 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 mecha-
nism for fireplace operation.
1. Remove the front refractory access panel
by lifting up and angling out of the firebox
opening (see Figure 13).
. 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).
