L234 Direct Vent Gas Insert 29
OPERATION
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Gas on/off knob cannot be
turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is
partially depressed.
1) Turn burner OFF using "ON/OFF" switch.
2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points
to "OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for
any gas in the combustion chamber to
escape.
FIRST FIRE
The fi rst fi re in your insert is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properly cured, it is recommended that you
burn your fi replace for at least four (4) hours
the fi rst time you use it with the fan on. When
fi rst operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint, the burning
off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
Smoke detectors in the house may go off at
this time. Open a few windows to ventilate the
room for a couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning after the
unit has cooled down.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
Note: When the glass is cold and the
appliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass.
This condensation is normal and
will disappear in a few minutes as
the glass heats up.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Read and understand these instructions
before operating this appliance.
2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and
enclosed to prevent possible shock.
3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
4) Make sure the glass in the door frame is
properly positioned. Never operate the
appliance with the glass removed.
5) Verify that the venting and cap are
unobstructed.
6) Ensure that the brick panels, if used, are
installed.
7) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be
seen when lighting the unit, the logs have
been incorrectly positioned.
8) The unit should never be turned off, and on
again without a minimum of a 60 second
wait.
LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
During the fi rst few fi res, a white fi lm
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the fi lm will bake on and
become very diffi cult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.
IMPORTANT
Prior to igniting or reigniting the
pilot, remove the glass door.
NOTE: For all propane units and units
equipped with electric spark boxes,
see "Copy of Lighting Plate Instruc-
tions" section for more details.
Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the control knob, should you
reinstall the glass door. The unit must not be
operated with the glass door removed.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.
3) Turn gas control knob counterclockwise
so indicator points to the "PILOT" position.
Depress the gas control knob fully. Depress
the ignitor button several times until the
pilot lights. After approximately one minute,
release the gas control knob. The pilot fl ame
should continue to burn. If the pilot does not
remain lit, repeat operation allowing a longer
period before releasing gas control knob.
4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob
further counterclockwise to the "ON"
position.
5) Reinstall the glass door (refer to the "Standard
Flush Door" section).
6) Use the switch, thermostat or remote control
to turn on the unit.
7) Rotate the fl ame height regulator to adjust
the fl ame height higher or lower.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1) Use the switch, thermostat or remote control
to turn off the main burner.
2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the
"OFF" position to turn off the pilot.
3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if
service is to be performed.
