FOR YOUR SAFETY -
Do not install or operate your Pacific Energy
Gas Stove without first reading and understanding this manual. Any
installation or operational deviation from the following instructions
voids the Pacific Energy Gas Stove Warranty and may prove hazard-
ous.
This appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. (3.5 kPa)

Note: When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight odour
for a couple of hours. This is due to the curing of paints, sealants and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process. This condition is
temporary. Open doors and windows to ventilate area. Smoke and
fumes caused by the curing process may cause discomfort to some
individuals.

time for unit to cool before servicing appliance. It is recommended
that this appliance and venting should be inspected at least once a
year by a qualified service person.

Glass Panel:
Warning:
Do not operate the appliance with the glass panel re-
moved, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass panel should be
done by a licensed or qualified service person. Do not strike or
otherwise impact the glass in anyway that may cause it to break. If the
glass becomes cracked or broken, it must be replaced before using
the fireplace. Replacement glass can be obtained from your nearest
Pacific Energy dealer. The size required is 31 1/4" x 19" x 5mm. Use
ceramic glass only.
Do not substitute with any other type.
To remove broken glass, fold down the front bottom louver to access
the screw retaining the decorative window trim overlay if installed.
Remove the screw and swing the bottom out to clear. Lift to disengage
from the top and remove. Place on a smooth surface to avoid
scratching.
Disengage the over-center latches by pulling each lever down and
forward. Grasp the sides of the frame and swing the bottom out to
clear. Lift up and forward to disengage from the top. Place the glass
frame assembly in a safe place to avoid damage.
Remove all particles
of glass. Be careful as they are very sharp. Install new glass complete
with gasket. Replace frame and screws.
Annual Inspection:
a) Clean louvers and air passage ways of excessive lint buildup from
carpeting, bedding material, etc. The flow of combustion and ventila-
tion air must not be obstructed.
b) Remove glass panel and log set. Inspect logs and burner
assembly for lint and soot buildup. If excessive buildup of soot is
present, have a qualified service person inspect and adjust unit for
proper combustion. Clean logs and burner with a vacuum cleaner,
paying close attention to burner ports.
c) Check the pilot system for proper flame size and operation. Clean
pilot free of lint and dust. (See Fig. #1)
d) Check that the vent pipe and vent terminal are open and free from
