CHECKING GAS PRES SURE
AND
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1. Check gas type. The gas supply must be the same as
stated on the appliance’s rating decal. If the gas supply
is different from the fireplace, STOP! Do not install
the appliance. Contact your dealer immediately.
2. To ease installation, a 24" (mm) flex line with manual
shut-off valve has been provided with on this appli-
ance. Install and attach
3 /
8
" gas line onto shut-off
valve.
3. After completing gas line connection, purge air from
gas line and test all gas joints from the gas meter to
the fireplace for leaks. Use a solution of 50/50 water
and soap solution or a gas sniffer.
4. To adjust flame height, turn HI/LO knob to HI to get
maximum pressure to burner. Turn HI/LO knob to
LO to get minimum pressure. NOTE: To make the
process of checking the gas pressure easier, unfasten
the two screws which secure the gas valve to the side
of the firebox and bring forward. [Remove the glass
to allow the valve to come forward. (See page 29 for
glass removal.)] When done, you must refasten the gas
valve into place.
5. To check gas pressures at valve, turn captured screw
counter clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then place tubing to
pressure gauge over test point. Turn unit to high. See
Figure 25. After taking pressure reading, be sure and
turn captured screw clockwise firmly to reseal. Do not
over torque. Check test points for gas leaks.
Do not use open fl ame to check for
gas leaks.
