Final Checks
17.1 Final Check
INSTALLER: Before leaving the appliance with the
customer, you must check the operation of the
appliance.
Check correct rating by clocking the appliance at
15 minutes (see label).
Check fl ame picture. Adjust primary air if
required.
Take time to explain to the customer how to
operate the unit.
NOTE: When fi rst fi red, the unit will produce an odor.
This is normal and is part of the paint curing process.
This will be noticeable for at least 4 hours. During the
fi rst hour smoke detectors in the house may be set
off. It is recommended that you open a few windows
to ventilate the room.
Following the initial burn-in period, the glass panel
may require cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not clean the glass when the
appliance is hot!
When the appliance is cold when fi red, the glass may
fog up. This is due to condensation and it is normal.
Make yourself familiar with these instructions before
operating the appliance.
Check any loose electrical wires that may cause a
shock.
Check around the appliance for gas leaks. IF YOU
SMELL GAS
, follow the instructions on the front
cover of this manual.
Check to see that the logs are correctly positioned.
The pilot light should be visible.
Check to make sure that the venting is secure.
Check that all external parts, such as grills, doors
and control cover are properly attached and
fastened.
CAUTION: Do not turn the unit off and on
again without a minimum of a 5 minute wait.
17.2 Important - Glass cleaning - Mineral
deposits
One of the by-products of the combustion process in
a gas appliance is a mineral which can show up as a
white fi lm on the ceramic glass of the viewing door.
The composition of the deposit varies widely from
various locations and also from time to time in the
same location. It seems this is associated with the
varying sulfur content of the gas. You may have the
problem for a time and then not see it for many months
when it will reappear in your area.

We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass
manufacturers and they cannot give us a defi nitive
answer to this problem. Dealers have tried various
cleaning products with varying results. The following
recommendations will not guarantee results in your
particular case.
NOTE: This is a problem beyond Miles
Industries’ control and is not covered under
warranty.
Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice
the buildup (white fi lm). If the fi lm is left for a longer
period of time, it will bake on. It is then much
harder, if not impossible, to remove.
NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic
glass. Any abrasion of the surface has the
immediate effect of compromising the strength
of the glass. An emulsion type cleaner is
recommended.
Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the
glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most
paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive
to ceramic glass and should be avoided.
Our dealers have had good results from the
products listed below. We cannot, however,
guarantee the results of these products.

17.3 Operating Your Fire
The operating instructions are also on a plate located
under the unit’s inner fi rebox.
For your safety, this appliance is fi tted with a fl ame
supervision device, which will shut-off the gas supply
if, for any reason, the pilot fl ame goes out. This device
incorporates a fi xed probe, which senses the heat
from the pilot fl ame. If the probe is cool, the device will
prevent any gas fl ow unless the burner control knob is
kept pushed-in at the PILOT position. See full lighting
instructions.
When fi rst turned on, the decorative fl ames will appear
predominantly blue. After approximately 15 minutes
the fl ames will turn yellow.
