The OWNER should carefully read and follow these operating
instructions at all times. Lower the door assembly to view the
gas controls for the fireplace.
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, 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 (Figure 22)
The thermopile (standing pilot) tips should be covered with
flame.
Figure 22
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 (1) to two
(2) 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.
CAUTION: 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 wall
switch or remote controls.
3. When the operating season is over, turn the wall switch
or remote to “OFF” and the control valve to “OFF”. The
system, including the pilot light, will be shut down.
