The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting or
floating. Flame should be blue in color with
traces of orange at the outer edge.
The top 3/8" (10 mm) at the pilot generator
(thermopile) should be engulfed in the pilot
flame (NG only).
Replace logs if removed for pilot inspection.
To light the burner; turn “ON” the optional
remote wall switch (if installed) and rotate the
gas valve control knob counterclockwise to the
“ON” position.
Step 15. Installing the Optional Screen As-
sembly – Retrieve the screen door frame. Po-
sition the door frame in front of the firebox
opening in the brackets at the base of the
fireplace front opening. Lean the door frame
back towards the fireplace ensuring that the
frame seats evenly as it draws shut.
Installing the Optional Glass Door
Position the door frame in front of the firebox
opening, with the joint in the gasket down.
Locate the three (3) tabs at the bottom edge of
the door frame into the three (3) brackets at the
base of the fireplace front opening. Lean the
door frame back towards the fireplace ensuring
that the frame seats evenly as it draws shut.
Install the three (3) 1/4"-20 x 1" Phillips pan
head screws removed previously and tighten to
secure. Ensure that the tab on the bottom of the
door frame engages the door switch.
Make sure the screws are tightened equally to
avoid torquing the door (

Appliance Operation
WARNING: THE LOWER CONTROL COM-
PARTMENT AREA AND LOWER CONTROL
COMPARTMENT ACCESS DOOR ARE EX-
TREMELY HOT WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS
IN OPERATION. EXERCISE EXTREME CARE
WHEN ACCESSING THIS AREA. TOUCH
ONLY THE FAR ENDS OF THE LOWER
CONTROL COMPARTMENT DOOR WHEN
OPENING WHILE THE APPLIANCE IS HOT.
Step 14. Checking the System – With gas line
installed run initial system checkout before
closing up the front of the unit. Follow the pilot
lighting instructions on page 16.
Note: Instructions are also found on the pull
out panel located on the bottom surface of the
appliance.
When first lighting the appliance, it will take a
few minutes for the line to purge itself of air.
Once purging is complete, the pilot and burner
will light and operate as indicated in the instruc-
tion manual. Subsequent lightings of the appli-
ance will not require such purging. Inspect the
pilot flame (remove logs, if necessary, handling
carefully).
