LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Be sure all items on "LIGHTING CHECK OFF LIST" [Pg. 17] have been completed!
CAUTION: If the pilot goes out, be sure to wait a minimum of five minutes before relighting - be sure to always remove the
glass before relighting the pilot. (See Pg. 10)
1.
Remove Glass. - ALWAYS LIGHT PILOT WITH GLASS REMOVED! (see Fig. 6 pg. 10)
2. Make sure any gas supply shut-off cocks are open and
On-Off Switch is "OFF".
3. Push in Gas Cock Dial slightly and turn clockwise to
"OFF". NOTE: Dial cannot be turned from "PILOT to
"OFF" unless dial is pushed in slightly.
DO NOT FORCE!
4. Wait five [5] minutes to allow gas, which may have
accumulated in main burner compartment to escape.
If you smell gas STOP!
5. Turn Gas Cock Dial Counterclockwise to "PILOT" position [See FIGURE 13].
6. Depress Gas Cock Dial and push in red Piezo igniter button. Once pilot ignites, continue depressing dial for about 1/2 mi-
nute. If pilot does not remain ignited, repeat operation allowing a longer period before releasing Gas Cock Dial.
IMPORTANT: After pilot is lit, system Millivolt readings and gas pressure should be taken by qualified installer.
Pilot flame must register a minimum of 450 millivolts (See pg. Error! Bookmark not defined. ).
Note: The Honeywell Gas Valve is equipped with a safety lockout feature. If gas flow is interrupted to the pilot light before
the thermocouple is adequately heated to maintain a standing pilot, the pilot flame will go out and the Gas Valve will go into
a Lockout mode. You will not be able to turn the Gas/Pilot Knob in either direction during this lockout phase. Wait 30 se-
conds to let the thermocouple cool down and reset the Gas Valve before attempting to light the pilot light again. Gas/Pilot
knob function will resume after the 30 seconds.
7. After pilot is lit and before installing logs, turn Gas Dial and Rocker Switch to "ON" and "cycle" the burner on/off to make
certain it ignites promptly and that the flame runs smoothly around entire burner.
Note: Logs will produce a strong acrid odor on initial contact with flames (about 2 hours).
8. With pilot operating, install logs and coals. With logs/coals in place, "cycle" the burners again to make sure of prompt igni-
tion of burner. NOTE: Flames may not come through coals until glass is installed and logs are "hot" (approx. 10 Min.). To
make final flame color adjustment wait 15-20 minutes, with glass installed. [See Pg. 29].
9. Reinstall glass. In daily operation, always light burner with glass in place.
10. When heat or a log fire is desired, turn Gas Dial counterclockwise to "ON". Rocker Switch, Thermostat or Remote Control
must also be turned "ON".
11. Main burner should now light IMMEDIATELY and flame should not "lift" off burner. If there is any delay in ignition or if
flame is "lifting off" burner, turn off burner and carefully check for proper installation of logs/coals, vent system and proper
pilot flame impingement on burner and thermopile. Logs or coals must not block pilot flame or main burner flame. Vent
system must be leak proof.
DO NOT PROCEED WITH OPERATION UNLESS BURNER "CYCLES" ON/OFF WITHOUT DELAYS!
12. To reduce heat output, turn Hi/Lo Knob counterclockwise to desired temperature.
NEVER "over fire" by increasing BTUH above nameplate specifications.
NEVER turn down pilot flame below the required 450 millivolts.
13. Open windows for first 2 hours of operation and provide adequate cross ventilation in the room.
NOTICE: Initial fireplace start-up will cause some NON-TOXIC "off gassing" of adhesive, gasket binders, paint and other materials.
Most nuisance odors will be eliminated after the first two hours of operation; however, slight amounts may be present during the first
24 hours of operation.
SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE:
1. Turn Rocker Switch, Remote Control or Thermostat to "OFF". Pilot will remain lit for return to normal service.
2. For complete shutdown turn Rocker Switch and Gas Cock Dial to "OFF".
