The OWNER should carefully read and follow these operating
instructions at all times. Lower the door assembly to view the gas
controls for the fireplace.
Initial Lighting
Upon completing the gas line or turning the gas valve on after it
has been in the “OFF” position, a small amount of air will be in the
lines. When first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes
for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and operate satisfactorily.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require such purging
if the gas valve is not turned to “OFF.”
Pilot Flame (Figure 22)
The thermopile (standing pilot) tips should be covered with
flame.
Figure 22
750 Millivolt System
The standing pilot (750 millivolt system) is a continuous burning
pilot. The pilot remains ON even when the main burner is OFF.
When you ignite the pilot, the thermopile produces millivolts
(electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve.
After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas
control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow your pilot flame to
operate an additional one (1) to two (2) minutes before you turn the
gas control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This
time period allows the millivolts (electrical current) to build-up to
a sufficient level allowing the gas control to operate properly.
1. Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for
standing pilot controls found in this manual and on labels found
in control compartment behind the door assembly.
CAUTION: During the initial purging and subsequent
lightings, never allow the gas valve control knob to remain
depressed in the “pilot” position without pushing the piezo
ignitor button at least once every second.
2. During the operating season, leave the control valve knob in
the “ON” position. This will allow the pilot flame to remain lit.
Turn the burner flame on or off with the fireplace wall switch
or remote controls.
3. When the operating season is over, turn the wall switch or
remote to “OFF” and the control valve to “OFF”. The system,
including the pilot light, will be shut down.
