Final Check
Before leaving this unit with the customer, the
installer must ensure that the appliance is firing
correctly. This includes:
1)
Clocking the appliance to ensure the correct
firing rate (rate noted on label) at 15 minutes.
2)
If required, adjusting the primary air to ensure
that the flame does not carbon. First allow the
unit to burn for 15 min. to stabilize.
3)
Check for proper draft.
CAUTION
Any alteration to the product that causes soot-
ing or carboning that results in damage to the
exterior facia is not the responsibility of the
manufacturer.
Operating Instructions
1)
Read and understand these instructions before
operating this appliance.
2)
Check to see that all wiring is correct and en-
closed to prevent possible shock.
3)
Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
4)
Make sure the glass in the door frame is properly
positioned. Never operate the appliance with the
glass removed. Never strike the glass or slam
the door shut.
5)
Verify that the venting and cap are unobstructed.
6)
Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be seen
when lighting the unit, the logs are incorrectly
positioned.
7)
The unit should never be turned off, and on
again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.
Shutdown Procedure
1)
Turn the main gas control clockwise to the
"OFF" position to turn off the pilot (push knob
in slightly).
2)
Turn off all electric power to appliance if service
is to be performed.
First Fire
The
FIRST FIRE
in your stove is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is properly
cured, it is recommended that you burn your fireplace
for at least four (4) hours the first time you use it with
the fan on. When first operated, the unit will release
an odour caused by the curing of the paint and the
burning off of any oils remaining from manufactur-
ing. Smoke detectors in the house may go off at this
time. Open a few windows to ventilate the room for
a couple of hours. The glass may require cleaning.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE
IT IS STILL
HOT
!
Note: When the glass is cold and the appliance
is lit, it may cause condensation and fog
the glass. This condensation is normal
and will disappear in a few minutes as
the glass heats up.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE WITH
-
OUT THE GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.
During the first few fires, a white film may
develop on the glass front as part of the cur-
ing process. The glass should be cleaned or
the film will bake on and become very difficult
to remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and
NEVER clean the glass while it is hot.
Lighting Procedure
IMPORTANT: Gas on/off knob cannot be turned
from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is partially
depressed.
1)
Turn stove OFF using the Burner "ON/OFF"
switch remote or thermostat.
2)
Turn gas control knob so indicator points to
"OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for any gas
in the combustion chamber to escape.
3)
Turn gas control knob counterclockwise so
indicator points to the "PILOT" position. Depress
the gas control knob fully until the pilot lights.
After approximately one minute, release the gas
control knob. The pilot flame should continue
to burn. If the pilot does not remain lit, repeat
operation allowing a longer period before
releasing gas control knob.
4)
When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob further
counterclockwise to the "ON" position.
5)
Use the ON/OFF switch, thermostat or remote
control to turn on the unit.
6)
Rotate the flame height regulator to adjust the
flame height higher or lower.
IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot,
the door to the firebox must be
opened.
Only when the pilot holds without pressure to the
control knob should the door to the firebox be
closed. The unit
must never
be operated with the
glass or door open.
NOTE: For all propane units and units equipped
with electric spark boxes, see "Copy of Lighting
Plate Instructions" section for more details.
