3 We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas to be
detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up. Replace the glass.
4 Install the faceplate following directions included with the face.
• ACID WASH WARNING : Before installing the faceplate, make sure any masonry that has been
treated with acid wash has been properly neutralized (this is used primarily with brick faces). Acid wash
(muriatic acid) is used to remove excess mortar. If not properly neutralized with an ammonia solution,
the gold face may develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time. Contact your
dealer if uncertain your facing has been properly neutralized.
5 Turn on the gas to the fireplace. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior to starting the
appliance. Start the pilot. Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again.
6 Check the pilot flame to make sure it looks like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if
necessary.
Standard
Screwdriver
The pilot flame must contact the thermocouple and
thermopile (see the illustration below). Adjust the pilot up or
down as necessary.
To adjust the pilot flame, turn this screw. Clockwise
lowers the flame while counter-clockwise raises it.
7 Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct
looking flame (see the illustration below).
• The air shutter adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas before it exits the burner holes.
Gas Control Valve
NOTE: If the air shutter is all the way
open, yet the flames remain sooty, shut
off gas to the fireplace and contact a
qualified gas service technician.
Correct
Flames should be blue at the
base, yellow-orange on the top.
If the flames are too tall or sooty on the
ends, open the air shutter.
Not Enough Air
If the flames are all blue and
short, close the air shutter.
Too Much Air
NOTE: The logs must be installed correctly to
monitor the flame while adjusting the air shutter.
Pushing the control to the right gives the
flame less air (closed) - making it more
orange. Pushing to the left gives the flame
more air (open), making it more blue. For
fine adjustments use a screwdriver to tap
the air shutter.
