MODEL GS60 ONLY:
VENTING ACTION CHECK
A CHECK FOR CORRECT VENTING ACTION MUST BE
MADE BEFORE THE INSTALLED STOVE IS LEFT WITH
THE CUSTOMER.
Test in the following manner:
1.
Close all doors and windows in the room / start
exhaust fans in the home / turn fireplace
blower off (if equipped).
2.
Set controls to "high" and light the
unit.
3.
Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and
extend it 1" into the hole located above
the spill switch bracket on the adapter.
4.
Venting action is satisfactory if the
flame stays lit. Venting action is unsat-
isfactory if the flame extinguishes.
5.
If venting action is unsatisfactory, turn the unit off,
wait 10 minutes and try again. If the match does not stay
lit, turn the unit off and check for vent blockage or restric-
tion. If necessary, consult with a qualified inspector.
MODEL GS60 ONLY:
SPILL SWITCH
This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back
of the chimney adapter, which senses the change in
temperature and shuts down the gas valve in the event
of a blocked or disconnected vent. It acts as a safety
shut-off to prevent a build up of carbon monoxide or an
explosion of unburnt gases during start up. If the flue
is blocked or has no "draw", the spill switch will auto-
matically shut off the supply of gas within about 5-10
minutes.
TAMPERING WITH THE SWITCH CAN RESULT IN
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) POISONING AND POSSI-
BLE DEATH.
PURGE ALL GAS LINES WITH THE GLASS DOOR
OPEN. ASSURE THAT A CONTINUOUS GAS FLOW
IS AT THE BURNER BEFORE CLOSING THE DOOR.
ALLOW SEVERAL MINUTES (5-15) FOR THE
FLAME TO STABILIZE AFTER IGNITION.
The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top
left corner on models GDS60 and GS60.
NOTE:
The upper firebox baffle of your new cast stove
has intentionally been left unpainted. Its shiny appear-
ance will quickly transform to a dull black finish during
the curing process.
FIGURE 40
OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight
odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condi-
tion caused by the curing of the logs and the "burn-in" of
internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing
process and will not occur again. Simply open a window
to sufficiently ventilate the room. After extended periods
of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm
weather season, the fireplace may emit a slight odour for
a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat
exchanger burning off. Open a window to sufficiently ven-
tilate the room.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION
MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
A.
This fireplace is equipped with a pilot which must be lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.
B.
Before operating smell all around the fireplace area for gas and next to the floor because some gas is heavier than
air and will settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Turn off all gas to the fireplace.
• Open windows.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
C.
Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not
try to repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D.
Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the fireplace and replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
