Steps for Finalizing the Installation
1. Remove the glass (see page 29).
NOTE:
If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the media.
2. Turn on gas to the heater. We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass
removed). This allows gas to be detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.
3. Leak test all gas joints prior to starting the appliance.
4. Start the pilot to verify gas supply (see instructions on page 32). Leak test all the gas joints
downstream of the valve. Turn the gas control knob to “OFF” to shut off the appliance.
5. Install firebacks (if applicable). Install the log set (page 23).
6. Start the pilot (see instructions on page 32). Check the pilot flame following the directions below.
Pilot Flame Inspection
The pilot flame should look like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if necessary.
7. Replace the glass.
8. Start the main burner and verify the burner ignites correctly.
9. Leak test all gas joints.
Standard
Screwdriver
Thermopile
Pilot Hood
3/8”
9mm
Thermocouple
The pilot flame should touch only the top 3/8” (9mm) of the
thermopile. Adjust the pilot up or down as necessary.
To adjust the pilot flame, turn this screw (NOTE: if totally
unscrewed gas will come out of this port). Clockwise
lowers the flame while counter-clockwise raises it.
