Step 11
Before Lighting
the Fireplace
Before
lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the
following:
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 flue terminations and front grilles
for obstructions.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit
for possible obstructions that could be blocking the
flue terminations or the front grilles.
Double-check that grate shipping support was re-
moved (see page 37).
• Make sure that the grate is resting directly on the
refractory.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty
MUST BE
replaced with an approved component. Tampering
with the fireplace components is
DANGEROUS
and
voids all warranties.
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.
Step 12
Lighting the
Fireplace
You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked
the fireplace for gas leaks, you know the flue system is
unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty
components. Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.

MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY,
AND WARNING INFORMATION
PERTAINING TO THE LIGHTING AND
OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.
