FIRST FIRE
NOTE:
Never operate this appliance with the door open.
NOTE:
No electrical power supply is required for the gas control to operate. Standing pilot
allows the valve to operate with manual switch or millivolt thermostat.
WARNING: When the appliance is equipped with a 24 karat gold-plated door,
you must clean all the fingerprints and oils from the gold surface before firing the
appliance for the first time. Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and a towel to insure
that the oil is removed. If not cleaned properly before firing, fingerprints or
oil can cause permanent markings on the gold plating. After the gold plating is
cured, the oils will not affect the finish and little maintenance is required; just
wipe clean as needed.
Before first firing the stove, read the owner’s manual to become familiar with the stove’s
features, controls, and cautions for operation.
Remove all labels from glass before starting your first fire in this stove.
Plug power cord into a properly installed outlet for blower operation.
The blower system has an on/off thermo snap disc that will turn the fan on automatically
when the proper temperature is reached, and will turn the blower off when it cools down in
order not to blow cool air after shut down.
The operation controls are located on the control panel behind the lower grill, and consists
of the following:
1) The rheostat, which controls the fan speed. 2) The manual on/off switch. 3) The piezo
igniter. 4) Valve On/Off and HI/LO control knob.
Follow the lighting instructions on page 21 of this manual, or on the metal sheet chained
in lower grill area by gas control valve.
During your first fire in the appliance, you may notice an odor and steam coming from the
stove. This is normal, it is the high temperature paint finishing its curing process. Open the
door and/or windows in the home or structure for ventilation.
We recommend that you initially cycle the stove on and off, heating the stove to curing
stage for several minutes, and then turn it off to cool for five minutes. Then turn the stove
back on, and burn until the steam and/or odor no longer appears. If odor persists, turn
the gas supply to the stove off, and call your local dealer or authorized service person
to inspect the appliance.
OPERATION CONTROLS
WARNING: Extended use of the appliance on high without using the blower can
cause overheating conditions in the appliance, and result in tarnishing or discoloration
of the gold plating on the door. It is recommended that when the blower is not in use,
you should operate the stove at lower valve control settings or cycle the appliance
on and off for short periods.
