SPILL SWITCH
This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back of the dilution draft hood, which senses the change in temperature
and shuts down the gas valve in the event of a severe downdraft of air or a blocked or disconnected vent. It acts as a safety
shut-off to prevent a build up of carbon monoxide or an explosion of unburnt gases during start up. If the flue is blocked or has
no "draw", the spill switch will automatically shut off the supply of gas within about 5-10 minutes.
TAMPERING WITH THE SWITCH CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) POISONING AND POSSIBLE DEATH.
PURGE ALL GAS LINES WITH THE GLASS DOOR OF THE STOVE REMOVED. ASSURE THAT A CONTINUOUS GAS FLOW IS
AT THE BURNER BEFORE INSTALLING THE DOOR. ALLOW SEVERAL MINUTES (5-15) FOR THE FLAME TO STABILIZE
AFTER IGNITION.
VENTING ACTION CHECK:
A CHECK FOR CORRECT VENTING ACTION MUST
BE MADE BEFORE THE INSTALLED STOVE IS LEFT WITH THE CUSTOMER.
Test in the following manner:
1. Close all doors and windows in the room / start exhaust fans in the home /
turn fireplace blower off (if equipped).
2. Set controls to "high" and light the unit.
3. Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and hold it along the edge of the dilution hood
visible through the rear wall opening and extend it 1" into the dilution hood.
4. Venting action is satisfactory if smoke is drawn into the draft dilution hood and
the flame rises vertically and slightly to the right. Venting action is unsatisfactory if the
smoke spills back, and the flame splays horizontally and back towards you.
5. If venting action is unsatisfactory, turn the unit off, wait 10 minutes and try
again. If the smoke or flame is still not drawn into the draft dilution hood, turn the unit
off and check for vent blockage or restriction. If necessary, consult with a qualified inspector.

The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top left corner.
When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour for a few
hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the curing of the
logs and the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manu-
facturing process and will not occur again. Simply open a window to suf-
ficiently ventilate the room. After extended periods of non-operation such
as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may emit
a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat
exchanger burning off. Open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
