FIRST FIRE
NOTE:
Never operate this stove 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 stove is equipped with a 24 karat gold-plated door, you
must clean all the fingerprints and oils from the gold surface before firing the stove
for the first time. Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and a towel to ensure 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 owners manual to be familiar with the stoves features,
controls, and cautions for operation.
Remove all labels from glass before operating this stove for the first time.
Plug power cord into a properly installed outlet for blower operation.
The blower system has an on/off thermally operated snap disc that will turn the blower 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 blower speed control is located behind the lower grill.
Manual on/off switch for control valve is located on the grill.
Follow the lighting instructions on page 33 of manual, or metal lighting instructions located in
lower pedestal access door.
During your first fire in the stove, you may notice an odor and steam coming from the stove.
This is normal. This is the high temperature paint finishing the 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 stove.
