Keep lower control compartment clean by
vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
More frequent cleaning may be required due
to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding ma-
terials, etc. It is important that control com-
partments, burners and circulating air pas-
sageways of the appliance be kept clean.
3.
Always turn off gas to the pilot (millivolt
appliances) before cleaning. Before re-lighting,
refer to the lighting instructions in this manual.
Appliance lighting instructions may also be
found on the pull-out label located near the
gas valve in the control compartment.
4.
Always keep the appliance area clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable liquids.
5.
Remember, Millivolt appliances have a con-
tinuous burning pilot flame. Exercise caution
when using products with combustible vapors.
6.
Clean the optional glass doors only when
necessary. Wipe surface with clean, damp-
ened, soft cloth. Follow with dry, soft towel as
desired. Take care not to scratch the glass
surface.
Operation of millivolt and electronic gas con-
trol systems are different. Before lighting and
operating your appliance determine if you have
a millivolt or electronic appliance. Millivolt
appliances will be fitted with the gas control
valve shown in
Figure 3.
Appliances with
electronic systems will be fitted with the elec-
tronic valve shown in
Figure 4.
Familiarize
yourself with the differing controls for the
valve your appliance uses.

When lit for the first time, this appliance will
emit a slight odor for an hour or two. This is
due to the “burn-in” of internal paints and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
WARNING: FIREPLACES EQUIPPED
WITH OPTIONAL ACCESSORY DOORS
SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY WITH THE
DOORS FULLY OPEN OR FULLY CLOSED
(FIGURE 5 )
.
THIS APPLIANCE MAY
ONLY BE FITTED WITH DOORS CERTI-
FIED FOR USE WITH THE APPLIANCE.
Appliances may be installed with an outside
(make-up air) vent system that is designed to
provide the appliance with outside make-up
air for combustion when in operation. The
shut-off lever for the outside air system is
standard on all appliances but should not be
operated if the complete system is not in-
stalled. Refer to
Figure 6
for GHC/GRD-5500
series units.
The hand operated shut-off lever is located in the
left side of the fireplace opening behind the
screen. To open, pull all the way. The outside air
damper should be fully open when the fireplace
is in use and completely closed when the fire-
place is not being used. This will prevent outside
cold air from entering the dwelling.
