Step 12. Before Lighting the Fireplace

Before

lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:

Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.

Check that log retaining rubber bands have been
removed!

Review safety warnings and cautions

• Read the

Safety and Warning Information

section at

the beginning of this

Installers Guide

.

Double-check for gas leaks

• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for

possible gas leaks.

Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for

obstructions.

• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for

possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter-
minations or the front grilles.

Double-check for faulty components

• Any component that is found to be faulty

MUST BE

re-

placed with an approved component. Tampering with the
fireplace components is

DANGEROUS

and voids all war-

ranties.

A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.

Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines,

unless the gas

valve has been turned to the OFF position

, in which

case the air would have to be purged.

NOTE:

The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 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 fireplace for
an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the chemicals
used in the paint and logs.

WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE USER’S
MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND

WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE
LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.

Step 13 Climate Control

This model is equipped with a baffle which will allow you to
control the usable heat output. The baffle control lever is
located at the lower left corner of the unit behind the lower
grille.

TOP VENTED: More Heat: Pull handle down and push back
to close the damper. Less Heat: Pull handle forward and
push up to open the damper.

REAR VENTED: More Heat: Pull handle forward and push
up to close the damper. Less Heat: Pull handle down and
push back to open the damper.

After the Installation

LEAVE THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL WITH
THE APPLIANCE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

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 fireplace’s initial burning.
