operating instructions
Operating Instructions
1. Read and understand these instructions before
operating this appliance.
2. Check to see that all wiring is correct and
enclosed to prevent possible shock.
3. Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
4. Make sure the glass in the glass door frame
is properly positioned. Never operate the
appliance with the glass removed.
5. Verify that the venting and cap are unobstructed.
6. The unit should never be turned off, and on
again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.
During the first few fires, a white film may
develop on the glass front as part of the
curing process. The glass should be cleaned
after the unit has cooled down or the film
will bake on and become very difficult to
remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS
WHILE IT IS HOT.
The
FIRST FIRE
in your heater is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure the paint is properly cured,
it is recommended you burn your fireplace for at
least four (4) hours the first time.
When first operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint and the burning
off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke
detectors in the house may go off at this time. Open
a few windows to ventilate the room for a couple of
hours. The glass may require cleaning.
NOTE:
When the glass is cold and the appli-
ance is lit, it may cause condensation
and fog the glass. This condensation
is normal and will disappear in a few
minutes as the glass heats up.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS
WHILE IT IS STILL
HOT
!
DO NOT BURN THE UNIT WITHOUT
THE GLASS DOOR IN PLACE.
First Fire
Normal Operating Sounds of
Gas Appliances
It is possible that you will hear some sounds from
your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal due to
the fact that there are various gauges and types
of steel used within your appliance. Listed below
are some examples. All are
normal operating
sounds
and should not be considered as defects
in your appliance.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner and is made of a different gauge material
from the rest of the firebox and body. Therefore, the
varying thicknesses of steel will expand and contract
at slightly different rates which can cause "ticking"
and "cracking" sounds. You should also be aware
that as there are temperature changes within the
unit these sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is
normal for steel fireboxes.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame is on it can make a very slight
"whisper" sound.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a
dull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will expand
and contract at different rates resulting in some
"cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be heard
throughout the cycling process.
