Operating Your Fireplace for the First Time
When operating your new
replace for the
rst time,
some vapors may be released due to the burning of
curing compounds used in the manufacture of the
appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could
cause the
ames to be the full height of the
rebox, or
even slightly higher, for the
rst few hours of operation.
It is also possible that these vapors could set off any
smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.
These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We
recommend opening a window to vent the room. After
a few hours use, the vapors will have disappeared and
the
ames will be at their normal height.
Flame Supervision Device
For your safety, this appliance is
tted with a
ame
supervision device which will shut-off the gas supply
if, for any reason, the pilot
ame goes out. This device
incorporates a
xed probe, which senses the heat
from the pilot
ame. If the probe is cool, the device will
prevent any gas
ow unless manually lighting the pilot.
See full lighting instructions on page 12 of this manual.
