When lit for the fi rst time, the fi replace will emit a slight odour for a
few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the curing
of the logs and the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in
the manufacturing process and will not occur again.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation
or a warm weather season, the fi replace may emit a slight odour for
a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger
burning off. In both cases, open a window to suffi ciently ventilate
the room.
Purge the gas line with the glass door removed. Assure that
a continuous gas flow is at the burner before reinstalling the
door.
OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. This fi replace is equipped with a pilot which must be lit by hand
while following these instructions exactly.
B. Before operating smell all around the fi replace area for gas and
next to the fl oor because some gas is heavier than air and will
settle on the fl oor
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use tools.
If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a quali-
fi ed service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in
a fi re or explosion.
D. Do not use this fi replace if any part has been under water. Imme-
diately call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the fi replace
and replace any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
• Turn off all gas to the fi replace.
• Open windows.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use
any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neigh-
bour's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fi re department.
WARNING: The gas valve has an interlock device which will not
allow the pilot burner to be lit until the thermocouple has cooled.
Allow approximately 60 seconds for the thermocouple to cool.
When lighting and relighting, the gas knob cannot be turned from
pilot to off unless the knob is depressed slightly.
1. Stop! Read the above safety information on this label.
2. Turn off all electric power to the fi replace.
3. Turn the gas knob clockwise to off.
4. Wait fi ve (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell gas includ-
ing near the fl oor. Stop! Follow "B" in the above safety information
on this label. If you don't smell gas go the next step.
5. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.
6. Depress slightly and hold gas knob while lighting the pilot with
the push button igniter. Keep knob depressed for one minute, then
release. If pilot does not continue to burn, repeat steps 3 through
5.
7. With pilot lit, depress and turn gas knob counter-clockwise to
on.
8. If equipped with remote on-off switch/thermostat, main burner
may not come on when you turn valve to on. Remote switch must
be in the on position to ignite burner.
9. Turn on all electric power to the fi replace.
1. Turn off all electric power to the fi replace if service is to be
performed.
2. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise to off. Do
not force.
Turn off the gas and electrical power before servicing the
fireplace.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
Verify proper operation after servicing. This fi replace and its venting
system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a
qualifi ed service person. The fi replace area must be kept clear and
free of combustible materials, gasoline or other fl ammable vapours
and liquids. The fl ow of combustion and ventilation air must not be
obstructed.
1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, remove
the logs to expose both assemblies.
2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter opening
and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing,
at least once a year.
3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of
the ports which may not be burning or are not burning properly.
4. Check to see that the pilot fl ame is large enough to engulf the
thermocouple and thermopile and reaches toward the burner with
the third jet.
5. Replace the cleaned logs.
6. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all open-
ings when the gas knob for the burner is turned on. A 5 to 10 second
total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult
your Continental® dealer / distributor.
7. Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of the door
is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.
