Electronic Models -
Electronic models have a fixed rate gas valve.
Input of electronic models is shown in the
following table:
INTRODUCTION
The millivolt appliances have a millivolt gas
control valve with a piezo ignition system which
provides safe, efficient operation.
The electronic appliances have an electronic
intermittent pilot system provides safe, efficient
operation. External electrical power is required
to operate these units.
LISTING AS FOLLOWS:
These appliances comply with National Safety
Standards and are tested and listed by Omni-
Test Laboratories (Report No. 116-F-30-5)
to ANSI Z21.50 - 2003 (in Canada, CSA 2.22
- 2003), and CAN/CGA-2.17-M91 in both USA
and Canada, as vented gas fireplaces.
Provide adequate clearances around air open
-
ings and adequate accessibility clearance for
service and proper operation. Never obstruct
the front openings of the appliance.
Due to high temperatures the appliance should
be located out of traffic and away from furniture
and draperies. Locate furniture and window
coverings accordingly.
These appliances are designed to operate on
natural or propane gas only. The use of other
fuels or combination of fuels will degrade
the performance of this system and may be
dangerous.
Millivolt Models - BTU Input
Millivolt models come standard with the manu
-
ally-modulated gas valve; flame appearance and
heat output can be controlled at the gas valve.
