OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Read and understand these instructions before
operating this appliance.
2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and
enclosed to prevent possible shock.
3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
4) Make sure the glass in the glass door frame
is properly positioned. Never operate the
appliance with the glass removed.
5) Verify that the venting and cap are unobstructed.
6) The unit should never be turned off, and on
again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.
During the fi rst few fi res, a white fi lm
may develop on the glass front as part of
the curing process. The glass should be
cleaned after the unit has cooled down
or the fi lm will bake on and become very
diffi cult to remove. Use a non-abrasive
cleaner and DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
The FIRST FIRE in your heater is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure the paint is properly
cured, it is recommended you burn your fi replace
for at least four (4) hours the fi rst time.
When fi rst operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint and the burning
off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke
detectors in the house may go off at this time. Open
a few windows to ventilate the room for a couple of
hours. The glass may require cleaning.
NOTE: When the glass is cold and the appliance
is lit, it may cause condensation and fog
the glass. This condensation is normal and
will disappear in a few minutes as the glass
heats up.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS
WHILE IT IS STILL HOT!
DO NOT BURN THE UNIT WITHOUT THE
GLASS DOOR IN PLACE.
FIRST FIRE
NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS OF
GAS APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds from
your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal due to
the fact that there are various gauges and types
of steel used within your appliance. Listed below
are some examples. All are normal operating
sounds and should not be considered as defects
in your appliance.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner and is made of a different gauge material
from the rest of the fi rebox and body. Therefore, the
varying thicknesses of steel will expand and contract
at slightly different rates which can cause "ticking"
and "cracking" sounds. You should also be aware
that as there are temperature changes within the
unit these sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is
normal for steel fi reboxes.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot fl ame is on it can make a very slight
"whisper" sound.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a
dull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will expand
and contract at different rates resulting in some
"cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be heard
throughout the cycling process.
Blower Thermodisc:
When this thermally activated switch turns ON it will
create a small "clicking" sound. This is the switch
contacts closing and is normal.
1) Press and release on ON/OFF button once
on the remote control or ON/OFF switch.
2) After approximately 4 seconds the spark
ignition system will spark for 60 seconds to
light the main burner.
3) The unit will turn on.
Note: The fi rst try for ignition will last approxi-
mately 60 seconds. If there is no fl ame ignition
(rectifi cation) the board will stop sparking for
approximately 35 seconds. After wait time
, the board will start second try for ignition
by sparking for approximately 60 seconds .
If there is still no positive ignition the board
will go into lock out.
The system will need to be reset as follows:
a) Turn the system off using ON/OFF switch
or press ON/OFF button - if using optional
remote.
b) After approximately 2 seconds turn on ON/
OFF switch or press ON/OFF button if using
optional remote.
c) Repeat step 2.
If the appliance will not operate, follow the
instructions "To Turn Off Gas to Appliance"
and call your service technician or gas
supplier.
