Upon completing the gas line connection, a small amount
of air will be in the lines. When first lighting the pilot
light, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge
themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete,
the pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated
in the instruction manual. Subsequent lighting of the
appliance will not require such purging.
WARNING:
Be sure fireplace screen or glass doors are in place
when burning fireplace logs. Unless other provisions
for combustion air are provided, the screen or
doors shall have an opening for introduction of
combustion air. THIS GAS LOG SET IS NOT DE-
SIGNED TO OPERATE WITH AIR TIGHT GLASS
DOORS. If gas odor is noticeable, turn control knob to
"OFF" position and check all connections for leaks. DO
NOT USE OPEN FLAME. Adequate combustion and
cooling air must be provided or the unit will not
function properly.
To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the pi-
lot and main burner flame characteristics are steady,
not lifting or floating.
Typically, the top 3/8 inch (10mm) of the thermopile
should be engulfed in the pilot flame (Figure 7).
Periodically remove the logs and examine the burner. If
dirty, clean with a soft brush. Also examine the area
around the burner air shutter and the pilot. Any dirt or
lint in this area should be removed. This will ensure
long life and trouble-free operation. When the appliance
is put back in service, check the burner flame patterns
with Figure 8.
The appliance and venting system should be inspected
before initial use and inspected and cleaned at least
annually by a qualified field service person.
LPG (PROPANE) INFORMATION
THE FOLLOWING WARNING APPLIES TO IN-
STALLATIONS USING L.P. (PROPANE) GAS:
WARNING:
To avoid possible injury, fire and explo-
sion, please read and follow these precautions and all
instructions on this appliance before lighting the pilot.
This appliance uses L.P. (Propane) gas which is
heavier than air and will remain at floor level if
there is a leak. Before lighting, smell at floor level
and/or use other means (such as using a commer-
cially-available, non-corrosive leak check solution on all
piping and connections, using a gas detector, etc.) to
check for gas leaks. NOTE: L.P. (Propane) gas can
become odorless and CANNOT always be detected
by smell. If you smell gas, detect a gas leak, or sus-
pect that a gas leak exists, follow these rules.
1. Get all people out of building.
2. DO NOT light matches. DO NOT turn electric
lights or switches on or off in area. DO NOT use an
electric fan to remove gas from area. DO NOT
use a telephone inside the building.
3. Shut off gas at L.P. tank outside of building.
4. Telephone gas company and fire department and
ask for instructions.
Before hanging up, give your name, address and phone
number. DO NOT go back into building.
If your L.P. tank runs out of fuel, turn off gas at the
appliance. After L.P. tank is refilled, appliance must be
re-lit according to manufacturer’s instructions. If the gas
control has been exposed to WATER in any way, DO
NOT try to use it. It must be replaced. DO NOT attempt
repair on gas control or appliance.
Tampering is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties.
Any component that is found to be faulty must be re-
placed with an approved component.
