To light the burner, turn ‘ON’ the OFF/ON switch
(located in the control compartment). Ensure the
igniter lights the pilot. The pilot flame should
engulf the flame rod as shown in Figure 51.
Millivolt Appliance Checkout
The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting
or floating. Flame should be blue in color with
traces of orange at the outer edge.
The top 3/8" (10 mm) at the pilot generator
(thermopile) and the top 1/8" minimum (tip)
of the quick drop out thermocouple should be
engulfed in the pilot flame.
The flame should project 1" (25 mm) beyond
the hood at all three ports (Figure 50).
To light the burner; rotate the gas valve control
knob counterclockwise to the “ON” position
then turn “ON” the OFF/ON switch (installed
at Step 4).

Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a
gas leak test solution (also referred to as bubble
leak solution).
Note: Using a soapy water solution is an effec-
tive leak test solution but it is not recommended,
because the soap residue that is left on the pipes/
fittings can result in corrosion over time.
A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting
instructions label in the control compartment
or in the Care and Operation Instructions
manual).
B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas
leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles
are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the
gas control knob (off/pilot/on) to the “OFF”
position. Either tighten or refasten the leaking
connection, then retest as described above.
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free be
sure to rinse off the leak testing solution.
Step 7. VERIFYING APPLIANCE OPERA-
TION
Turn on burner then observe the individual
tongues of flame on the burner. Make sure
all ports are open and producing flame evenly
across the burner. If any ports are blocked, or
partially blocked, clean out the ports.
With the gas line installed, run initial system
checkout before closing up the front of the
appliance. Follow the pilot lighting instructions
provided in the Care and Operation Instructions
manual. For piezo igniter location see Figure
48 (millivolt appliances only).
Note: The (pull-out) Lighting instructions label
can be found in the control compartment (see
Figure 48).
When first lighting the appliance, it will take
a few minutes for the line to purge itself of
air. Once purging is complete, the pilot and
burner will light and operate as indicated in the
instruction manual. Subsequent lighting of the
appliance will not require such purging. Inspect
the pilot flame.
WARNING
Never use an open flame to
check for leaks.

WARNING
• DO NOT attempt to install the
logs until the appliance instal-
lation has been completed, the
gas line connected and tested
for leaks and the initial burner
operation has been checked
out.
• The size and position of the log
set was engineered to give the
appliance a safe, reliable and
attractive flame pattern. Any
attempt to use a different log
set in the fireplace will void
the warranty and will result in
incomplete combustion, soot-
ing, and poor flame quality.
• Logs get very hot and will
remain hot up to one hour
after gas supply is turned off.
Handle only when logs are
cool. Turn off all electricity
to the appliance before you
install grate, volcanic stone,
vermiculite, embers and
logs.
• This appliance is not designed
to burn wood. Any attempt
to do so could cause irrepa-
rable damage to the appliance
and prove hazardous to your
safety.
• If logs are not installed
according to the log instal-
lation instructions, flame
impingement and improper
combustion could occur and
result in soot and/or excessive
production of carbon monoxide
(CO), a colorless, odorless,
toxic gas.
