LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT Gas on/off knob cannot be
turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is
partially depressed.
1) Turn burner OFF using "ON/OFF" switch.
2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points
to "OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for
any gas in the combustion chamber to
escape.
3) Turn gas control knob counter clockwise
so indicator points to the "PILOT" position.
Depress the gas control knob fully. Depress
the igniter button several times until the
pilot lights. After approximately one minute,
release the gas control knob. The pilot fl ame
should continue to burn. If the pilot does not
remain lit, repeat operation allowing a longer
period before releasing gas control knob.
4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob
further counter clockwise to the "ON"
position.
5) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote
control to turn on the unit.
6) Rotate the fl ame height regulator to adjust
the fl ame height higher or lower.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote
control to turn off the main burner.
2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the
"OFF" position to turn off the pilot.
3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if
service is to be performed.
FIRST FIRE
The fi rst fi re in your fi replace is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properly cured, it is recommended that you burn
your fi replace for at least four (4) hours the fi rst
time before you use it with the fan on.
When fi rst operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint, 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 panel may require cleaning after the
unit has cooled down.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
During the fi rst few fi res, a white fi lm
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the fi lm will bake on and
become very diffi cult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.
AERATION
ADJUSTMENT
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the
adjusting wire up or down. The wire is accessed
through the bottom louver opening. Open the
air shutter for a blue fl ame or close for a more
yellow fl ame. The burner aeration is factory
set but may need adjusting due to either the
local gas supply or altitude. This adjustment is
performed by the gas fi tter.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
5/16"

3/8" Propane
CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air shutter
is closed too much.
Note: Any damage due to carboning
resulting from improperly setting
the aeration controls is NOT covered
under warranty.

pull to open aeration cap.

tions" section for more details.
Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the control knob, resecure
the glass panel to the unit. The unit must not
be operated with the glass removed.
Note: When the glass is cold and the
appliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass.
This condensation is normal and
will disappear in a few minutes as
