Step 12. Before Lighting the Fireplace
Before
lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the
Safety and Warning Information
section at
the beginning of this
Installers Guide
.
Double-check for gas leaks
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter-
minations or the front grilles.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty
MUST BE
re-
placed with an approved component. Tampering with the
fireplace components is
DANGEROUS
and voids all war-
ranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines,
unless the gas
valve has been turned to the OFF position
, in which
case the air would have to be purged.
Air Shutter Setting
This fireplace has an adjustable air shutter (which controls
the primary air) factory set for the minimum vertical vent run
(see Figure 43). If your installation has more than the
minimum required vertical vent length, adjustment of the air
shutter may be necessary to obtain optimal flame
appearance.
This should be adjusted by a qualified
installer at the time of installation.
By pushing the air shutter handle in, you will be closing the
air shutter. To adjust loosen the wing nut. Care should be
taken when adjusting the air shutter so as not to cause the
fireplace to soot. If sooting occurs the air shutter will need
to be opened by pulling the handle out. When finished tighten
wing nut.

This statement is in compliance with SPCS 16 CFR Sec-
tion 1201.5 “Certification and labeling requirements” which
refers to 15 USC 2063 stating “…Such certificate shall ac-
company the product or shall otherwise be furnished to any
distributor or retailer to whom the product is delivered.”
Some local building codes require the use of tempered glass
with permanent marking in such locations. Glass meeting
this requirement is available from the factory. Please con-
tact your dealer or distributor to order.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the fireplace’s initial burning.
NOTE:
The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 hours on the
initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove
and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace
for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the products
used in the paint and logs.
