Step 12. Before Lighting the Fireplace
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at
the beginning of this Installers Guide.
Double-check for gas leaks
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter-
minations or the front grilles.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re-
placed with an approved component. Tampering with the
fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all war-
ranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply 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 will operate normally.
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas
valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which
case the air would have to be purged.
NOTE: The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 hours on the initial
start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove and
clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace for
an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the chemicals
used in the paint and logs.
Step 13. Lighting the Fireplace
You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the
fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is
unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components.
Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.
WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE USER’S
MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND
WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE
LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.

Heat-N-Glo fireplaces manufactured with tempered glass
may be installed in hazardous locations such as bathtub
enclosures as defined by the CPSC. The tempered glass
has been tested and certified to the requirements of ANSI
Z97.1-1984 and CPSC 16 CFR 1202. (Safety Glazing
Certification Council SGCC # 1595 and 1597. Architectural
Testing, Inc. Reports 02-31919.01 and 02-31917.01.)
This statement is in compliance with CPSC 16 CFR Section
1201.5 “Certification and labeling requirements” which refers

the product or shall otherwise be furnished to any distributor
or retailer to whom the product is delivered.”
Some local building codes require the use of tempered glass
with permanent marking in such locations. Glass meeting
this requirement is available from the factory. Please contact
your dealer or distributor to order.
