Initial  Lighting Instructions 

 

Use  a  gas  sniffer  device  or  smell  all  around  the 
appliance  area  for  gas. Ensure  you  check at the floor 
also  because  unlike  natural  gas,  propane  is heavier 
than  air.  If  you  do  not  detect  or  smell  gas,  proceed 
with  the  lighting  procedure.  If  you  do  detect  or  smell 
gas, DO  NOT  proceed  with  the lighting  procedure.   

 

Pilot Light Warning 
 

Do  not attempt to light the unit with a match or by any 
means  other  than  the  ignition  system  supplied  with 
the unit. 
 

To Light the Stove for Initial  Leak Test: 

 
Remote Control  Ignition: 

 

The  Remote  and  Receiver  must  be  synchronized 
before  initial use (for  instructions, see page  32).  After 
synchronizing  the  remote  perform  the  following  steps 
to light the stove: 
 

1.  On the remote handset, simultaneously  press 

the Large  Flame  and  OFF buttons.   

2.  The  stove  receiver  will  begin  to emit  audible 

beeps  and  the ignition  sequence  will begin. 

3.  After  several  seconds,  the  piezo  igniter  will 

begin  to spark  and the  pilot light will ignite. 

4.  After  several  more  seconds, the  main  burner 

will ignite. 

5.  Select  the  desire  flame  height  by  pressing 

either  the  large  flame  or  small flame  icon  on 
the  remote.    For  additional  operational 
information,  see  the    MAXITROL  GV60 
CONTROL  SYSTEM FEATRUES  section. 

6.  With the  main burner  in operation,  apply an   
 

approved  leak  test solution  to  all  tubing  and 
pipe  connections  (including  adapters)  and 
the  valve  inlet  and  outlet.  Bubbles  indicate  a 
leak. 

7.  If  a leak  is detected,  tighten  pipe  connections  

(including  adapters)  according  to  "GAS 
CONNECTIONS"  (page  20).   

 

 

Manual Ignition (Optional): 

 

1. 

Remove  orange  ignition  wire  from  Control 
module 

and  insert  onto  Piezo  Ignitor 

Connection  on valve  top 

(see  Figures  13 and 

16). 

2.  Open  the  gas supply to the valve. 
3.  Remove  the  access  panel  from  the  front  of 

the stove  and  set on  a non-marring  surface. 

4. 

Locate  and  turn  the  MANUAL  Knob  on  the 
valve  clockwise  to  the  “MAN”  position 

(see 

Figure  16). 

5. 

Turn  the Main Valve  knob to “OFF”. 

6.  Using  a  pen  or  other  device  that  will  reach 

through  the  MANUAL  Knob  cut  out,  gently 
press  the pilot  button  and  hold  it in  the down 
position. 

7.  After a ten second wait, push the piezo igniter 

button  on the valve  every  three  seconds  until 
you see the  pilot light. 

8.  Once  the  pilot  lights,  continue  holding  the 

Pilot Button  for  one  (1)  minute.   Release  the 
Pilot Button and the pilot flame  should remain 
on.   

9.  Once  the  pilot  flame  has  been  established,  

turn  the  Main  valve  knob  counter-clockwise.    
The  main  burner  will  ignite  after  the  Main 
Valve  knob  is  turned  past  the  minimum 
setting.  Once the main burner  is on, continue 
turning  the Main  Valve  knob  until the desired 
flame  height  is reached. 

10.   With the  main burner  in operation,  apply an   

approved  leak  test solution  to  all  tubing  and 
pipe  connections  (including  adapters)  and 
the  valve  inlet  and  outlet.  Bubbles  indicate  a 
leak. 

11.   If  a leak is detected, tighten pipe  connections  

(including  adapters)  according  to  "GAS 
CONNECTIONS"  (page  20). 

 

 

 

Smoke and Fumes  Warning

 

 

When  lit  for  the  first  time,  the  Bristol  will  emit  some 
smoke and fumes.  This is normal “off-gassing”  of the 
paints  and  oils  used  in  the  manufacturing  and 
assembly of the unit.  Open  windows  to vent  the room 
if  necessary.  The  off  gassing  and  fumes  will  subside 
after  the  first 8 hours  of  operation. 

Odors  and Impurities 

 
A heater  of this type may produce  odors during  heater 
operation  at any time due  to impurities  that may exist 
in  the  immediate  area  around  the  unit.  Sources  of 
impurities  can  include  cleaning  solvents,  paint  
solvents,  cigarettes,  candles,  smoke,  pet  hair,  dust, 
adhesives,  new  carpet,  and/or  textiles.  Such  odors  
will eventually  dissipate. However,  opening  a window 
or  otherwise  providing  additional  ventilation  to  the 
area  can  alleviate  the  condition  sooner.  If  any  odor 
persists, find  and  remove  the  cause, or  contact your 
dealer  or an  authorized  service  technician.
