FIRST FIRE
When lit for the fi rst time, the fi replace will emit a slight odour
for a couple of hours. This is due to the curing of paints, seal-
ants 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.
It is normal for fi replaces fabricated of steel to give off some
expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or
cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace
heat exchanger or cook stove oven.
OPERATING
The Town and Country Fireplace comes equipped with either
a manual (millivolt) combination gas valve or an electronic
gas valve. An optional wall switch or thermostat (Canada
only) may be installed to operate the burner automatically on
both types of valve.
Manual Valve:
Once a pilot light has been established,
and the gas valve knob turned to the "O
N
" position (Manual
Valve) or simply switched on with the "Burner" switch, the unit
may be operated in one of two ways; manually adjusting the
fl ame and/or turning the unit on and off automatically with a
wall thermostat.
