Match Lighting
If the pilot cannot be ignited with the piezo, it can be manually
lit with the use of a match and lighter rod.
1. Place the match in the holder and light. With the right
hand, depress and turn the control knob counterclockwise
(Fig. 17) to the “PILOT” position. Hold in for 10 seconds.
2. Take the lighter rod and lighted match and ignite the pilot.
(Fig. 16)
3. Continue to hold the control knob for an additional 60 sec-
onds to ensure pilot is maintained.
4. Proceed with Step 8 in Lighting Instructions, Page 14.
Flame Check
A periodic visual check of the flames should be made. The pilot
flame should always be present when the appliance is in opera-
tion. (Fig. 24)
In normal operation - at full rate for approximately 15 minutes
- the following flame appearance should be observed.
Rear Flames:
The flames at the rear or on either side of the log
top should be very similar, yellow in color and should extend
about 6 inches above the large front log. (Fig. 25)
NOTE:
For your safety, the appliance is equipped with an
oxygen depletion system. The system senses the oxygen in the
atmosphere and switches off the gas supply in case the level
of oxygen falls below a safe level. It must not be altered in any
way.

Managing Heat Output
When installed in a wood burning fireplace, the heat output
from the appliance can be controlled by the position of the flue
damper if it is installed in a wood-burning fireplace.
The damper setting should be fully closed for maximum heat
output, partially closed for less heat output and fully open for
minimum heat output.
The appliance may be used in a working solid fuel burning fire-
place with the flue damper closed only if unvented appliances
are permitted by local state and city codes. It may also be
operated as a decorative appliance whose prime function lies in
the aesthetic effect of the flames when installed in a solid fuel
burning fireplace with the flue damper open. If unvented heat-
ers are not permitted, the fireplace vent damper must be locked
at a minimum vent area of 34 sq. ins.
Whenever the appliance is operated with the fireplace’s flue
damper closed, glass doors - if present - must be open and
the outside air damper and the ash dump (if the fireplace is
equipped with either one) must be closed.
Maintenance
CLEANING
CAUTION:
Before cleaning or moving logs or other parts of the
unit, be sure to read the section on important safeguards.
Cleaning should be done before the logs are used each year
and after long periods of non-use.
All cleaning should be carried out when the appliance is cold.
Only limited cleaning will be required under normal use. Dust-
ing the front grate, the top of the piezo cover or the control knob
panel may be required occasionally. Do not use any cleaning
fluids to clean the logs or any other part of the appliance.
If the flames show any unusual shapes or behavior, or if the
burners fail to ignite properly, then the burner holes may require
cleaning. If this occurs, it is preferable to contact your nearest
dealer to get the appliance serviced.
Alternatively, the appliance can be cleaned by removing the top,
front and rear logs. Handle the logs gently so as not to damage
them. Always lift each log by holding it carefully at each end.
After the logs are removed allowing access to the burner area,
use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove dust, spider webs
and loose particles from the base, logs and from around the
burners. Gloves are recommended to prevent the ceramic
fibers that compose the logs from pricking your skin. If the
skin is pricked, wash gently with soap and water. Use extreme
caution in cleaning around the pilot (ODS). The pilot should
not be moved or altered from the original factory setting (Pilot
to burner preset location). The burners should not be removed
or taken out of their locked and secure position (proper location
of burners are critical).
NOTE:
All replacements and repairs
should be performed by a qualified technician (contact your
nearest dealer). After cleaning and/or repairs, follow detail
instructions for positioning of logs as illustrated in Figures 26,
27 ,28.
When the appliance is used as a vented decorative fireplace,
the chimney must be checked annually for blockage or re-
strictions from soot, bird or animal nests, or corrosion of steel
chimney tops.
