CHECKING APPLIANCE OPERATION
With gas line installed run initial system
checkout before installing any additional
accessories. Follow the lighting instructions
on
Page 20
.
NOTE: Lighting Instructions are also found
on the literature tag tied to the gas piping
next to the gas valve. To access the tag,
open the lower control compartment door
(refer to Figure 14, Page 11 - Valve Access).
When first lighting the appliance, it will take
a few minutes for the line to purge itself of
air. Once purging is complete, the pilot and
burner will light and operate as indicated in
the instruction manual. Subsequent lighting
of the appliance will not require such purging.
Inspect the pilot flame (remove logs, if neces-
sary, handling carefully).
After the logs have been placed and the fireplace
has been checked for proper flame presenta-
tion, use the remaining volcanic stone to fill in
voids and spaces. Remember, you may need
to access the high/low flame control beneath
the refractory cover.
Electronic Appliance Checkout
To light the burner, turn ‘ON’ the remote wall
switch. The battery will energize a spark that
will light the pilot. The pilot flame will engulf the
sensor and open the main valve. Within seconds
the main burner will light. Ensure the igniter
lights the pilot. The pilot flame should engulf
the sensor as shown in
Figure 20
.

The area above the face to the top of the spacers

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs
of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar
to the flu with headaches, dizziness and/
or nausea. If you have these signs, obtain
fresh air immediately. Turn off the gas sup-
ply to the appliance and have it serviced by
a qualified professional, as it may not be
operating correctly.
FIREBOX FINISHES
There are a wide variety of "finished looks" for
your outdoor fireplace, from formal wall decor
with elaborate mantels to rustic wood paneling
or warm brick facings.
Only noncombustible materials like marble,
stone, tile, brick, etc. may overlap the top
and sides of the front facing. Seal all joints
between the black facing and wall surrounds
to prevent air intrusion. Use noncombustible
caulking materials only to seal the metal facing
to the surround material on the finished wall.
See
Figure 21
.
CAUTION: DO NOT BLOCK THE FACE OPEN-
ING ON THESE FIREBOXES. DOING SO MAY
CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
