Verify Proper Fireplace Operation
1.
With the gas line installed, inspect the system before closing the front of the unit.
2.
Follow the pilot lighting instructions:
• Millivolt Systems
(
Pages 71-72
)
NOTE:
When lighting the fireplace for the first time, it will take a few minutes for the gas line to purge itself of air.
When purged, the pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated. Subsequent lighting of the fireplace will not
require purging. Inspect the pilot flame (carefully remove logs, if necessary).
Millivolt Fireplace Inspection
The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting or floating. Flame should be blue in color with traces of orange at the
outer edge. The top 3/8” (10 mm) at the pilot generator (thermopile) and the top 1/8” (4 mm) minimum (tip) of the
quick drop out thermocouple should be engulfed in the pilot flame. The flame should project 1” (26 mm) beyond the
hood at all three ports
(
Figure 32
)
. Replace the logs if removed for pilot inspection.
To light the burner, turn ON the remote wall switch and rotate the gas valve control knob counterclockwise to the ON
position (the top of the valve).
