Upon completing the gas line connection, a small
amount of air will be in the lines. When first lighting the
pilot light, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge
themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete,
the pilot and burner will light and operate.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require
such purging.
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight
odor for an hour or two. This is due to paint and lubri-
cants used in the manufacturing process. Additionally,
for the first few minutes after each lighting, vapor may
condense and fog the glass and the flames may be blue.
After a few minutes, this moisture will disappear and
within 15-30 minutes the flames should become yellow.
“ON/OFF” SWITCH FOR THE BURNER.
The “ON/OFF” Switch for the burner is located at the top
right rear of the unit.
FLAME HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.
The variable regulator knob on the valve will adjust the
flame from high to low. Turning counterclockwise
increases the flame and clockwise turns the flame to
low. The valve is located at the lower right rear of the
unit behind the firebox.
Allow the unit to operate about 15-20 minutes. This will
give the flame time to reach its height and color before
making adjustments to the air shutter. As the shutter is
closed, the flame should get taller and darker.
The appliance may produce a noise, caused from metal
expansion and contraction as it heats up and cools
down. This noise is similar to one that a furnace or
heat duct may produce and does not affect the opera-
tion or longevity of the unit.
Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner area
surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at
least twice a year.
SEASONAL SHUTDOWN.
When the burning season comes to an end, the entire
system should be shut down to prevent gas running to
the appliance while it is not in use.
OPERATION PROCEDURE DURING REGULAR
USE.
Simply turn the switch/thermostat to the “ON” position.
This will ignite the main burner.
SHUTDOWN DURING REGULAR USE.
Simply turn the switch/thermostat to “OFF”. This will
disengage the burner and the flames will extinguish.
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT.
The Air Shutter adjusts the amount of air that mixes with
the gas as it enters the Burner. It is used to fine tune the
flame as necessary for differences in altitude and vent
configuration. It can be adjusted by turning the
Adjustment Screw on the bottom of the Firebox.
Turning the Screw in will open the Air Shutter; turning
the Screw out will close the Air Shutter.
See Figure 25.
CAUTION:
During the initial purging and subsequent lightings,
NEVER allow the gas valve control knob to remain
depressed in the “pilot” position without pushing
the red ignitor button at least once every second.
