Step 9. Before Lighting the Appliance
Before
lighting the appliance, be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork from underneath the appliance.
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 appliance, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
Before lighting the appliance, 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
appliance components is
DANGEROUS
and voids all war-
ranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the appliance, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the appliance will light and will operate normally.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance 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 appliance 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 appliance
for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the chemicals
used in the paint and logs.
