1. Set manual ignition bypass switch on
control panel to OFF position (automatic
ignition position).
2. 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
donʼt smell gas, go to the next step.
3. Point remote control toward the lower
front of fireplace and push both buttons at
the same time. Hold for 6 seconds. The gas
valve will open and electronic ignition will
begin sparking to light the pilot. Note: You
will be able to hear a clicking sound during
this process. LED on wall switch will light.
Note: You may be running this heater for
the first time after connecting to gas supply
or at the start of your heating season. If so,
the ON 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 Electrical Power Outage).

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.
Because this fireplace has an electronic ignition
system, in the event there is a loss of power, it
will be necessary to manually light the pilot with
the piezo ignitor. After the pilot is lit, the main
burner will light automatically.
1. Follow steps 1 through 3 under Normal
Lighting Instructions, page 21.
2. Set manual ignition bypass switch on con-
trol panel to ON position (manual ignition
position). See Figure 39, page 23.
3. The pilot is attached to the rear of the front
burner. You will be able to see the pilot
and spark electrode without removing the
screen or logs.
