Before
lighting the fi replace, be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fi replace.
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 fi replace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check fl ue terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
• Before lighting the fi replace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the fl ue
terminations or the front grilles.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty
MUST BE
replaced with an approved component. Tampering with
the fi replace components is
DANGEROUS
and voids
all warranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines.
When fi rst lighting the fi replace, it will take a few minutes
for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the
purging is complete, the fi replace will light and will operate
normally.
Subsequent lightings of the fi replace 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.
NOTE:
The fi replace 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 fi replace for
an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the products
used in the paint and logs.

Step 12. Lighting the Fireplace
You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked
the fi replace for gas leaks, you know the fl ue system is
unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components.
Now you’re ready to light the fi replace.
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 fi replace’s initial burning.
