INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: You must oper-
ate this heater with the fireplace
screen in place. Make sure fire-
place screen is in place before
running heater.
NOTICE: During initial operation
of new heater, burning logs will
give off a paper-burning smell.
Open damper or window to vent
smell. This will only last a few
hours.
1. STOP! Read the safety information, page 21.
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is
fully open.
3. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.
Smell for gas around heater and near floor.
If you smell gas, STOP! Follow “B” in the
safety information on warnings plate. If you
don’t smell gas, go to the next step.
A. Using Supplied Wall Switch Assembly
1. Set manual ignition bypass switch on the
control panel to the OFF position (auto-
matic ignition position).
2. Press ON/OFF button. Hold for 6 seconds.
Gas valve will open and electronic ignition
will begin sparking to light pilot. LED will
light. Note: You may be running this heater
for the first time after connecting to gas sup-
ply or at the start of your heating season.
If so, the ON/OFF button may need to be
pressed again. This will allow air to bleed
from gas system. If several attempts to light
pilot fail, contact a qualified service person
or gas supplier for repairs. Until repairs
are made, light and operate manually (see
Manual Lighting Instructions for Electric
Power Outage, page 19).
3. When pilot flame is lit, the thermocouple is
heated by the flame. When thermocouple
becomes hot (5 to 15 seconds), main burner
will automatically light on high flame.
4. To lower flame, push HI/LO button on wall
switch once. Note: This fireplace does not
have a pilot-only mode.
