Manual Thermostat
Operation of the thermostat is based on the position of the control lever. While turning the lever to the ON
position, note the position the main burner ignites. Leaving the lever at this position would cause the
burner to operate until the room temperature warms up slightly, then start a gradual flame reduction until
the temperature stabilizes.
Millivolt Control
The millivolt control lever allows for flame height and heat output adjustment. Turn the lever counter-
clockwise from the LOW position to increase flame to the HIGH position and clockwise to decrease
flame.
Turning off the Gas for Your Gas Fireplace
1. Open the fireplace screens.
2. Push in the gas control knob slightly and turn it clockwise to the OFF position.
Lighting Your Wood Burning Fireplace
Your wood burning fireplace is designed to use a grate to hold the wood to be burned approximately 2”-3”
off the base. This allows air to get to the bottom of the wood and gives room for ash to accumulate. Do
not attempt to burn wood in your appliance without a proper grate installed.
WARNING: Never use liquids such as gasoline or lighter fluid in a wood burning fireplace. Serious
injury can occur.
Have several sizes of wood available. Small pieces will be needed to start the fire, some medium sizes
and finally larger logs that will burn for a longer period of time. Make sure all logs are small enough to
fit entirely into the fireplace or firepit. If the wood is too large, cut or split it until it will fit into the
enclosure.
1. Wad up some dry newspaper and put it under the grate but be carefull of ash that may be under grate
from a previous fire.
2. Put small pieces of wood over the newspaper, on the grate. Small wood should not be more than 1/2”
thick and 1” wide. Smaller wood will burn easier and make the fire easier to start. Make sure to leave
room for air to circulate around the small pieces of wood.
3. On top of the small pieces of wood put a few medium sized pieces of wood. These pieces can be from
1” to 2” thick but should not block airflow around the small pieces.
4. Light the newspaper under the grate in several places. As wood begins to burn, add more medium
sized pieces one at a time until a good coal base is formed. At this time you can add larger pieces of
wood. Always make sure there is sufficeint room for air to flow around the wood that is added or you
may smother your fire.
WARNING: Never leave a burning fireplace or firepit unattended!
