OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The OWNER should carefully read and follow these operating
instructions at all times. Remove the barrier to view the gas
controls for the fireplace insert.
Initial Lighting
Upon completing the gas line or turning the gas valve on after
it has been in the
“
OFF
”
position, a small amount of air will be
in the lines. When first lighting the fireplace insert, it will take a
few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once
the purging is complete, the fireplace will light and operate
satisfactorily.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require such
purging if the gas valve is not turned to
“
OFF.
”
Pilot Flame
The thermopile/thermocouple (standing pilot) tips should be
surrounded with flame.
Figure 30
Initial Startup
During the initial installation and startup, turn the unit on and run
for 30 to 50 minutes to burn off excessive oils and cure painted
surfaces.
Turn fireplace insert off and allow it to cool. Once cool, gently
clean off the pilot and flame sensors with a clean, dry cloth.
750 Millivolt System
The standing pilot (750 millivolt system) is a continuous burning
pilot. The pilot remains ON even when the main burner is OFF.
When you ignite the pilot, the thermopile produces millivolts
(electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve.
After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas
control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow your pilot flame to
operate an additional one to two minutes before you turn the gas
control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This
time period allows the millivolts (electrical current) to build-up to a
sufficient level allowing the gas control to operate properly.
1. Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for
standing pilot controls found in this manual and on labels
found in control compartment behind the door assembly.
WARNING
During the initial purging and subsequent lightings, never
allow the gas valve control knob to remain depressed in the
“
pilot
”
position without pushing the piezo ignitor button at
least once every second.
2. During the operating season, leave the control valve knob in
the
“
ON
”
position. This will allow the pilot flame to remain lit.
Turn the burner flame on or off with the fireplace REMOTE/
OFF/ON switch, wall switch or remote controls.
NOTICE:
The gas control valve allows you to increase or
decrease the height of the main burner flame. The control valve
has a pressure regulator with a knob as shown in
Figure 29
.
Rotate the knob clockwise to
“
HI
”
to increase the flame height
and counterclockwise to
“
LO
”
to decrease the flame height.
3. When the operating season is over, turn the REMOTE/OFF/
ON switch to
“
OFF
”
and the control valve to
“
OFF
”
. The
system, including the pilot light, will be shut down.
