The OWNER should carefully read and follow these operating

instructions at all times. Lower the door assembly to view the gas

controls for the fireplace.
Initial Lighting

Upon completing the gas line or turning the gas valve on after it

has been in the “OFF” position, a small amount of air will be in the

lines. When first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes

for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is

complete, the fireplace will light and operate satisfactorily.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require such purging

if the gas valve is not turned to “OFF.”
Pilot Flame (Figure 51)

The thermopile/thermocouple (standing pilot) tips should be

covered with flame.

Figure 51

750 Millivolt System

The standing pilot (750 millivolt system) is a continuous burning

pilot. The pilot remains ON even when the main burner is OFF.
When you ignite the pilot, the thermocouple produces millivolts

(electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve.

After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas

control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow your pilot flame to

operate an additional one (1) to two (2) minutes before you turn the

gas control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This

time period allows the millivolts (electrical current) to build-up to

a sufficient level allowing the gas control to operate properly.
1. Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for

standing pilot controls found in this manual and on labels found

in control compartment behind the door assembly.

CAUTION: During the initial purging and subsequent

lightings, never allow the gas valve control knob to remain

depressed in the “pilot” position without pushing the piezo

ignitor button at least once every second.
2. During the operating season, leave the control valve knob in

the “ON” position. This will allow the pilot flame to remain lit.

Turn the burner flame on or off with the fireplace REMOTE/

OFF/ON switch, wall switch or remote controls.

NOTE: The gas control valve allows you to increase or decrease

the height of the main burner flame. The control valve has a

pressure regulator with a knob as shown in Figure 50. Rotate

the knob clockwise to “HI” to increase the flame height and

counterclockwise to “LO” to decrease the flame height.
3. When the operating season is over, turn the REMOTE/OFF/ON

switch to “OFF” and the control valve to “OFF”. The system,

including the pilot light, will be shut down.
