Igniting The Appliance

Appliance Break-in

During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in period, you may detect an odor from the appliance as the various
water-based paints used in the manufacture of this log set cure.  This is a normal and temporary situation that
is not a cause for alarm.  However, you may want to provide extra ventilation to the room during this time.

The pilot will resist lighting on new installations
due to air in the  gas supply line.  It may take
several minutes to bleed air completely out of the
gas plumbing system through the pilot line.

This appliance has a pilot which is lit by a spark
ignition device (piezo).  If the piezo fails, then light
the pilot using matches following the Match Lighting
instructions below.

1. STOP! Read the safety information on page 13.

2. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clock-

wise  

  to “OFF”.

3. NOTE: Knob cannot be turned from “PILOT” to

“OFF” unless knob is pushed in slightly. Do
not force.

4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.  If you

then smell gas, STOP!  Follow the safety informa-
tion above.  If you don’t smell gas, go on to the
next step.

5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise 

 to

“PILOT” and push in. Continue to hold the control
knob in and push the piezo igniter button in until
the pilot lights.

6. Continue to hold the control knob in for about one

(1) minute after the pilot is lit. Release the knob

and it will pop back up. Pilot should remain lit. If it
goes out, repeat steps 3 and 4.

7. If the knob does not pop out when released, stop

and call your service technician or gas supplier. If
the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the
gas control knob to “OFF’ and call your service
technician or gas supplier.

8. Turn gas control knob counterclockwise 

 to

“ON”. CAUTION: Be sure ON/OFF/RS switch is in
the off (middle) position. Also, the GWSK should
be in the “OFF” position and/or the remote should
be in the “OFF” position before turning the control
knob “ON”. If pilot goes out, repeat steps 4 and 5.
