for 30 seconds. Check that the pilot has fully engulfed the thermocouple
assembly (see Figure 3).
3. Start the main burner by turning the gas control knob to ON and then turn
the rocker switch to ON. Check that all burner ports have flame.
4. Leak test all gas joints again.
*NOTE: This appliance is equipped with an on-demand pilot that, if
left dormant, will shut down after seven (7) consecutive days.

1. Turn off the gas to the fireplace.
If not recently done, remove the glass and let the unit air out
for at least five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.
Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all joints with
soapy water. NEVER USE OPEN FLAME FOR LEAK TESTING�
2. Start the pilot by pressing the gas control knob and turning it to PILOT. While holding the gas control
knob in, press the piezo ignitor several times until the pilot light starts. Hold the gas control knob in

The air shutter is controlled with the primary air adjustment rod located behind the gas valve shown in Figure
4.
The air shutter allows the amount of air coming into the fireplace to be adjusted in order to accommodate
different climates and venting arrangements. Start the pilot and then the burner. Make sure the pilot flame
is burning normally and none of the burner ports are plugged. Let the fireplace burn for roughly fifteen (15)
minutes and then examine the flames, compare the flames to Figure 59.

The ideal flame will be blue at the base and light
orange above. The flames should be of medium
height. If the flames look like this, no venturi
adjustment is needed. If the flames are fairly short
and mostly blue, the fireplace is getting too much air.
Therefore, the air shutter should be closed slightly
until the correct flames are achieved. Flames that
are very orange, with tall, dark, stringy tips, are not
getting enough air. Open the venturi until the flames
clean up. If the venturi is opened, or closed all the
way, and the correct flames cannot be attained, turn
off the gas and contact the dealer.
Warning:
Incorrect venturi adjustment may lead
to improper combustion, which is a safety hazard.
Contact the dealer if there is any concern about the
venturi adjustment.
