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.
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.
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.
Glass Specifications:
8000TRD: TEMPERED
Heat-N-Glo fireplaces manufactured with tempered glass may
be installed in hazardous locations such as bathtub enclo-
sures as defined by the CPSC. The tempered glass has
been tested and certified to the requirements of ANSI Z97.1-
1984 and CPSC 16 CFR 1202. (Safety Glazing Certification
Council SGCC # 1595 and 1597. Architectural Testing, Inc.
Reports 02-31919.01 and 02-31917.01.)
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.
Step 12. Lighting the Fireplace
You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the
fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is
unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components.
Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.
WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE USER’S
MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND
WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE
LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.
After the Installation
LEAVE THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL WITH
THE APPLIANCE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
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.
