Gas Controls
The standard controls for fi replace operation are located in the control compartment, below the glass door
(
Figure 34
)
. Optional control switches are also available.
Millivolt and electronic gas control systems operate differently. Before lighting and operating the fi replace determine
if it is a millivolt or electronic system:

Familiarize yourself with the gas control valve and the lighting procedure

Millivolt Fireplaces
Detailed lighting instructions are found on
Pages 64-67
. Also, millivolt fi replace lighting instructions are found on
the pull-out lighting instructions attached to the gas control valve.
When the pilot is lit, the main burner can be turned ON/OFF using a wall switch, remote control, optional on-unit
rocker switch (FRS), or wall thermostat.
If the millivolt fi replace is equipped with an optional remote switch (wall switch, remote control, rocker switch, or
wall thermostat) and the pilot is lit, the fi replace main burner can be turned ON/OFF using the optional switch.
Burn-in Period
The fi rst few times this fi replace is operated, there will be an odor from the curing of paint and the burning off of the
lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Depending on usage, the burn-in period may take a few hours or a few
days.
NOTE:
Ventilate the site during the burn-in period. The resulting odor and haze may set off a smoke detector. Do not
operate the blower during the burn-in period.
A white fi lm may develop on the glass front during the fi rst few fi res as part of the burn-in period. The glass
should be kept clean during the burn-in period to prevent the fi lm from baking on—making it very diffi cult to
remove

.
