Step 12
Before Lighting
the Fireplace
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork and documents from
underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the Safety and Warning Information sec-
tion 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 terminations or the front grilles.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE
replaced with an approved component. Tampering
with the fireplace components is DANGEROUS and
voids all warranties.
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 products used in the paint and logs.

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 US-
ER’S MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS,
SAFETY, AND WARNING INFORMATION
PERTAINING TO THE LIGHTING AND OPERA-
TION OF THE FIREPLACE.

During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the fireplace’s initial burning.
