Step 6 Purging air
from the gas supply
lines
If the gas valve has been in the OFF position, a small
amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When first
lighting your fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging
is complete, your fireplace will light and will operate
normally.
Subsequent lightings of your 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 from
the gas supply lines.
Before lighting your fireplace, double-check your unit
for possible obstructions that could be blocking the
vent termination or the front grilles of your fireplace.
Before lighting the fireplace, double-check that
furniture and other combustible household objects are
NOT located within 36 inches of the fireplace front.
