5. Locate the pilot by looking over the top of the left front

log. A blue flame will be seen when the pilot is lit.

6. Turn the gas control knob counter-clockwise to

the "PILOT" position.

7. Push the knob all the way in and hold in that position.

Immediately light the pilot by pressing the igniter button

several times until pilot is lit. Continue to hold the knob

in for about 30 seconds after the pilot is lit. Realease

knob and it will pop back out. Pilot should remain lit. If it

goes out, repeat steps 4-8 holding knob in an additional

15 seconds after pilot is lit. If knob does not pop out

when released, stop and immediately call your service

technician or gas supplier. If the pilot will not stay lit after

several tries, turn the gas control knob to "OFF" and call

your service technician or your gas supplier.

8. After pilot is lit, turn gas control knob counter-clockwise

to "ON." Knob can only be turned to "ON" if the

knob has popped out.

9. To turn burner on, turn "ON/OFF" rocker switch to "ON"

or set the thermostat to the desired temperature above

room temperature.

10. Adjust the flame height (and heat output) by turning the

flame height knob clockwise for full flame and

counter-clockwise for reduced flame.

11. Turn on the electric power to the appliance and set the

blower to the desired air flow after it turns on when the

appliance reaches operating temperature.

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE

1. Turn off the "ON/OFF" rocker switch and/or thermostat (if

installed) to its lowest setting.

2. Turn off electric power to the appliance if service is to

be performed.

3. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise

to "OFF." Do not force.

This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and

must be installed so there are provisions for adequate

combustion and ventilation air.

WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,

service, or maintenance can cause injury or property dam-

age. For assistance or additional information, consult a

qualified installer, service agency, or your gas supplier.

Operation of this appliance when not connected to a prop-

erly installed and maintained venting system can result in

carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.

SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

To turn off the burner, turn the rocker switch to "OFF" or

adjust the thermostat (if installed) to a setting below room

temperature. The pilot will remain lit for future burner igni-

tion. For complete shutdown, see "TO TURN OFF GAS TO

APPLIANCE" above.

Flame Color & Behavior

Your Medina™ gas insert is designed for maximum heating

efficiency. Therefore, upon lighting of the main burner the

flames will be semi-transparent or “bluish.” After 10-20

minutes of operation the logs will heat up and the flames

will become a yellow/orange color.

Adjusting the insert to cause the flames to turn orange sooner

may result in poor combustion, sooting, and a hazardous

situation. See the drawing to the right showing proper flame

appearance.
