C.  Check Pilot Flame Appearance

Pilot fl ame must contact the thermocouple and thermopile 
for reliable appliance operation.

• Pilot 

fl ame should be as shown in Figure 12.1.

D.  After Appliance is Lit

Initial Break-in Procedure

When you light the appliance, you may notice that it pro-
duces heat which does have an associated odor or smell. 
If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial 
three to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a 
second burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from 
paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. 
Condensation of the glass is normal.

Note

: The appliance should be run three to four hours 

on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. 
Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run 
the appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will help to 
cure the products used in the paint and logs.

During this break-in period it is recommended that some 
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will 
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate any 
odors associated with the appliance’s initial burning.

Figure 12.1  Proper Pilot Flame

•  If adjustment is needed remove cap screw from gas valve 

using 1/8 inch standard screwdriver (see Figure 12.2).

•  Turn adjustment screw clockwise to increase pilot fl ame 

size. Make small adjustments.

Glass door must be in place when 
appliance is operating.
Risk of:

• Combustion Fumes

• Fire
Do NOT operate appliance with glass 
door removed. 

•  Open viewing glass for servicing only.

•  Glass door MUST be in place and sealed before operating 

appliance.

•  Only use glass door certifi ed for use with appliance.

•  Glass replacement should be done by qualifi ed technician.

WARNING

Figure 12.2  Adjustments

•  Do NOT turn adjustment screw counter-clockwise too far 

as it will come out of the valve allowing gas to escape.

•  Replace cap screw and seal to prevent gas leaks. 

•  Check for gas leaks after tightening.
