Step 11. 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.

NOTE:

The fireplace should be run for 8 hours on the initial

start-up. This will help to cure the chemicals used in the

paint and logs.
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.

Step 12. Lighting the Fireplace

Youve reviewed all safety warnings, youve checked the

fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is

unobstructed, and youve checked for faulty components.

Now youre ready to light the fireplace.

WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE USERS

MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND

WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE

LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.

Step 13. Heating Control

These models are equipped with a baffle which will

allow you to control usable heat output. The baffle

control lever is located at the lower left corner of the

unit behind the lower grille. See Figure 32.

FOR LESS HEAT:

Push the baffle lever back and up

to lock. This will open the baffle.

FOR MORE HEAT:

Pull the baffle lever forward and

down. This will close the baffle.
