OPERATION
Start-up Procedure
1. STOP! Read the safety information to the left on this label.
2. Open the lower access panel located below the fireplace screen.
3. Set the room thermostat, if present, to the lowest level. Set the wall
switch, if present, to its off position. Press slightly and turn the control
knob clockwise to the "OFF" position (See Fig. 1).
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas,
including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow "B" in the safety
information to the left on this label. If you don't smell gas, go to the next
step.
Note: LP gases do not vent upward.
Pilot flame ignition
5. Press slightly and rotate the "OFF / PILOT / ON" control knob
counterclockwise
6. With control knob depressed, push down on the ignition button until
the pilot lights. The pilot is located behind the fireplace screen, centered
near the rear of the burner.
Keep the knob fully depressed for at least thirty (30) seconds until air in
the pilot line vents and a strong pilot flame is present. Release the knob
and verify that the pilot flame remains lit. (See Fig. 2)
• Do not attempt to light the pilot by hand.
Igniting the main burner
7. Confirm that the room thermostat or wall switch, if present, is set to its on position. Turn the "HI/LO"
knob to the "LO" setting.
8. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the "ON" position. The gas path to the main burner is
now open. The maximum gas flow to the burner is obtained with the HI-LO knob fully turned counter-
clockwise ("HI" position). (See Fig. 1)
9. Close lower access panel.
• If the control knob does not pop up when released,stop and immediately call a qualified service
technician or gas supplier.
• If pilot goes out repeat steps 3 through 6. Wait (1) minute before attempting to light pilot again. If
after several tries the pilot still goes out, turn the gas control knob clockwise to the "OFF" position and
call a qualified service technician.
Stand-by position
10. To maintain a flame at the pilot burner with the main burner off, turn the control knob to the
"PILOT" position. (See Fig. 1)
Note: Pilot takes up to 1 min to ignite due to the time it takes the millivolt generator to heat up.
1. Open the lower access panel located under the fireplace screen.
2. Turn control knob clockwise to the "OFF" position.
3. Close lower access panel.
Caution After shutting down, wait at least five minutes before re-igniting. This will allow the safety
interlock to reset.
