A. STANDING PILOT OPERATION
1. Initial and Seasonal Lighting Procedure. Initial
lighting constitutes the first time the appliance has
been lit after installation. Seasonal lighting refers to
lighting the appliance after it has been unused and
the gas valve has been turned to OFF.
Be sure the remote wall switch and the gas knob
(located behind the lower access panel) have been
turned to the OFF position. See Figure 35. Also,
your unit may have a rocker ON/OFF switch
installed inside the lower panel; it if does, this also
needs to be turned to the OFF position. If they are
not, do so and allow the appliance to sit for five min-
utes so any gas that may have accumulated in the
main burner compartment escapes.
Turn the manual on/off valve to ON. Turn the gas
knob to PILOT, as shown in Figure 36, and press in.
While holding it in, light the pilot by pressing the red
ignitor button, shown in Figure 37, several times until
the pilot ignites. Continue to hold in the gas knob for
about one minute after the pilot is lit. Release the
gas knob. The pilot should remain lit. If it goes out,
turn everything to the OFF position, let it sit for five
minutes and repeat this step again.
When the pilot remains lit, turn the gas knob to the
ON position. See Figure 38. You may now turn the
remote wall switch to the ON position which will turn
on the main burner. Initially, the flames may resem-
ble more of a blue color but after the first 20 minutes
of operation, they will become more yellow.
Note: Keep the area near the appliance
clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
Note: When first operated, this unit may release
an odor for the first several hours. This is caused
by the curing of the paint and the burning off of
any oils remaining from manufacturing.
2. Seasonal Shutdown. When the burning season
comes to an end, the entire system should be shut
down. This way, no gas will be running to the
appliance while it is not in use.
To shut down the appliance for a long period of
time, you must first shut off the main burner by
moving the remote wall switch (and the ON/OFF
rocker switch, if applicable) to the OFF position.
Next step, remove the lower access panel to
expose the valve area. (Follow Step 1 on page
18.) Locate the gas knob and turn it to the PILOT
position. Press in and continue turning to the OFF
position. Turn the manual ON/OFF valve to OFF.
Your entire system is now shut down.
3. Lighting Procedure During Regular Use.
Simply turn the wall switch to the ON position. This
will ignite the main burner.
4. Shutdown During Regular Use. Simply turn
the remote wall switch to OFF. This will disengage
the burner and the flames will extinguish. The pilot
light will continue to burn.
