• Turn off all gas to the fi replace.

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. Simply open a window to suffi ciently ventilate
the room.
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.
Purge the gas line with a glass door open. Assure that
a continuous gas flow is at the burner before re-install-
ing the door.
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 qualifi ed service technician. Force or at-
tempted repair may result in a fi re or explosion.
D. Do not use this fi replace if any part has been under water.
Immediately 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.
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 ther-
mocouple to cool.
When lighting and re-lighting, 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 including 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-clock-
wise 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. For a complete shut-down procedure: push in gas control
knob slightly and turn clockwise to off. Do not force.
3. For a temporary shut-down procedure: set thermostat to
lowest setting or remote switch to off. Press and turn the
gas knob clockwise to pilot.
Turn off the gas and electrical power before servicing the
fireplace.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic-
ing 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 vacuum-
ing 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 and runner burners ignite
completely on all openings when the gas knob for the burn-
ers is turned on. A 5 to 10 second total light-up period is
satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your Authorized
dealer / distributor.
7. Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of
the door is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.
