Step 11. Before Lighting the Fireplace
Before
lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions
Read the
Safety and Warning Information
section at
the beginning of this
Installers Guide
.
Double-check for gas leaks
Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter-
minations or the front grilles.
Double-check for faulty components
Any component that is found to be faulty
MUST BE
re-
placed with an approved component. Tampering with the
fireplace components is
DANGEROUS
and voids all war-
ranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply 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 will operate normally.
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines,
unless
the gas
valve has been turned to the OFF position
, in which
case the air would have to be purged.
NOTE:
The fireplace should be run for 8 hours on the initial
start-up. This will help to cure the chemicals used in the
paint and logs.
Step 12. Lighting the Fireplace
Youve reviewed all safety warnings, youve checked the
fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is
unobstructed, and youve checked for faulty components.
Now youre ready to light the fireplace.
WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE USERS
MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND
WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE
LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.
