INSPECTING bURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMbLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper flame height.

Alterations may have occurred during shipping and handling. Call

a qualified service person to readjust the pilot if necessary.

The height of the thermopile must be 3/8" to 1/2" above the pilot

flame as shown in Figure 54. The thermocouple must be at a height

of about 1/8" above the pilot flame. The flame from the pilot burner

must extend beyond both the thermocouple and thermopile.

If you pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 23)

• see Troubleshooting, page 27

bURNER FLAME PATTERN

Burner flames will be steady; not lifting or floating. Flame patterns

will be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on instal-

lation type and weather conditions.

If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the flames will lift

or "ghost". This can be dangerous. Inspect the flames after instal-

lation to ensure proper installation and performance.

Figure 55 shows a typical flame pattern for these models.

If burner flame pattern differs from that described:
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 23)

• see Troubleshooting, page 27

Key Pad Lock Feature

This feature allows the user to lock/unlock the keypad on the

hand-held remote in the MANU or AUTO mode to prevent

inadvertent operation (i.e. children operating the hand-held

remote control, etc.). The keypad is locked in either on or off.

Press the POWER and LOCK buttons together to turn the

unit on or off.

OPERATING OPTIONAL GWMT1

WALL MOUNTED THERMOSTAT

WARNING: Do not connect the thermostat to a

power source. Electrical shock and/or a fire hazard

will occur.

Light the fireplace as instructed in Lighting Instructions on page

23. Set wall thermostat to desired temperature.

This thermostat has been electronically calibrated at the factory

and requires no adjustment or leveling.

Upon installation, the thermostat must be allowed to stabilize

at room temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes for proper

operation.

To turn the fireplace off, adjust thermostat to the lowest setting

and turn the gas control knob back to PILOT. The pilot will

remain lit.

IMPORTANT:

To turn the pilot off, turn the gas control knob

on the heater to the OFF position.

OPERATING OPTIONAL

BLOWER ACCESSORY

Locate the blower controls by opening the lower louver panel

on the fireplace. Blower controls are located on the right side of

the switch bracket to the left just inside the louver panel.

The BK manual blower and the BKT thermostatically-controlled

blower have an ON setting and an OFF setting. The blower

will only run when the switch is in the ON position. In the OFF

position, the blower will not operate.

Note for bKT Only:

If you are using BKT blower with optional

thermostat (wall mounted or remote control) for the fireplace,

your fireplace and blower will not turn on and off at the same

time. The fireplace may run for several minutes before the blower

turns on. After the heater modulates to the pilot position, the

blower will continue to run. The blower will shut off after the

firebox temperature decreases.

The blower helps distribute heated air from the fireplace. Peri-

odically check the louvers of the firebox and remove any dust,

dirt or other obstructions that will hinder the flow of air.
