G136 SERIES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If you own a standing pilot ignition, skip Step 6 and continue
with Step 7 - Closing the Control Access Panel.
6. Electronic Ignition Operation
a. Initial and Seasonal Lighting Procedure
Initial lighting constitutes the first time the
appliance has been lit after installation. Seasonal
lighting refers to lighting the appliance after it has
been unused and the gas valve has been turned
to OFF.
Be sure the remote wall switch and the manual
shutoff valve have been turned to the OFF position.
Also, your appliance may have a rocker ON/OFF
switch installed inside the lower panel; if so, this
also needs to be turned to the OFF position. If
they are not, do so and allow the appliance to sit
for five minutes so any gas that may have
accumulated in the main burner compartment
escapes.
Turn the manual shutoff valve to the ON position.
Then turn the remote wall switch to ON. This will
activate an electronic spark. Initially, the flames
may have more of a blue color but after the first
20 minutes of operation, they will become more
yellow.
b. Lighting Procedure During Regular Use
Simply turn the wall switch to the ON position. This
will activate the ignitor and the main burner will
light.
c. Shutdown During Regular Use
Simply turn the remote wall switch to the OFF
position. This will disengage the ignitor and the
main burner will extinguish.
d. Seasonal Shutdown
When the burning season comes to an end, the
entire system should be shut down.

Control Access Panel Replacement
Note:
Keep the area near the appliance clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and other flam-
mable vapors and liquids.
Note:
There may be a rocker switch on a col-
umn in the control area, as well as a wall switch.
Both have to be OFF for the appliance to be off.
In this way, no gas will be running to the appli-
ance while it is not in use.
7. Closing the Control Access Panel
To replace the control access panel, align the lower
hinges on the panel with the holes provided in the
appliance. Place the hinge pins in those holes and pivot
the panel upward as shown in Figure 34. The panel
should connect smoothly back into place.
To shut down the appliance for an extended period
of time, you must first shut off the main burner by
moving the remote wall switch to the OFF position.
Open the control access panel to expose the control
compartment. Locate the gas valve knob and turn
it to the OFF position. Turn off the manual shutoff
valve. Your entire system is now shut down.
To relight the appliance, see page 22.
