LIGHTING & OPERATION
FIRST FIRE INSTRUCTIONS
When operating your new fireplace for the first time, some
vapors may be released due to the curing compounds
used in the manufacture of the appliance. They may cause
a slight odor and could cause the flames to be the full
height of the firebox, or even slightly higher, for the first few
hours of operation. It is possible that these vapors could
set off smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.
These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We
recommend opening a window to vent the room during the
burn off period. After a few hours use, the vapors will have
disappeared and the flames will be at their normal height.
It is important that the Comfort Blower is turned on to help
clear the vapors from the unit.
Follow these instructions for a successful first fire;
1.
Turn the fireplace on in Manual Mode.
2.
Set flame height to HI.
3.
Set the Comfort Blower speed control to level
4
. Let the fireplace run for
3 hours
at this setting then shut
off fireplace and let it cool.
5.
After the fireplace cools, turn the fireplace on in manual
mode with flame on HI and the Comfort Blower off.
6.
Allow fireplace to run for
6 hours
in this setting.
NOTE: Slight Odors may still be noticed on future uses
of the fireplace but will diminish over time. The type of
finishing materials used around the fireplace may add
odors or add to the curing time. If the fireplace has not
been used in several months, it is normal for odors to
occur caused by lint or dust that has settled on the unit
while not in use.
FLAME SUPERVISION DEVICE
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flame
supervision device which will shut-off the gas supply if, for
any reason, the pilot flame goes out. This device incorporates
a fixed probe, which senses the heat from the pilot flame. If
the probe is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless
manually lighting the pilot. See full lighting instructions.
NOTE:
Periodically conduct a visual check to ensure the
pilot and burner flames are as shown (top of page 3).
During extreme cold weather, it is recommended that you
leave the pilot running to prevent condensation forming in
the firebox and on the glass viewing area during startup.
LIGHTING, OPERATION & RATING INFO
The Lighting, Operation and Rating information is located
on a plate in front of the Comfort Blower inside the front
face of the fireplace.
To access the plate, remove lower air trim panel as shown
in step 1 on page 26.
SERVICING
If any attention is required for your appliance, contact your
dealer quoting the model number and serial number. This
number is on the rating plate, which is located adjacent
to the control module. The replacement parts are shown

number and description when requesting spare parts.
Warranty is void if serviced by a non-qualified technician.
FIREPLACE CONTROL DEVICES
