CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING
After completing and checking electrical,
gas and vent connections, follow the lighting
instructions and allow the main burner to run
for approximately 5 minutes. Hold a lighted
match or cigarette near the top edge of fire-
place opening and play it along entire length
of opening (see Figure 12). Proper venting
should tend to draw the flame or smoke into
the appliance. Improper venting or escaping
of spillage of burned gas, is indicated when
the match flickers or goes out. Smoke from a
cigarette will also tend to disperse away from
the appliance.
If the appliance is found to be improperly
venting, shut it off and notify your installer
or a qualified service agency to inspect the
venting system.

shutoff switch which will shut
down the appliance in the case of
a venting problem. Do not bypass
the vent safety switch. If the appli-
ance should shut down, contact a
qualified installer, service agency
or your gas supplier to have the
vent inspected before operating.
WALL SWITCH INSTALLATION
The installation of a wall switch allows you
to activate the gas control valve and turn the
fireplace on and off. The wall switch is to be
connected to the incoming 120 volt regular
household wiring that supplies electricity to
the fireplace. Refer to wiring diagram in this
manual on page 18.
OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL
INSTALLATION (Model WRC)
Note: If using optional wireless hand-held
remote control, wall switch must be in the ON
position to be operational. The remote control
then becomes the switching mechanism for
fireplace operation.

lifting up and angling out of firebox open-
ing (see Figure 13).

a battery. Receiver can be installed by
