Installation (for qualified installers only) 25 Steps for Finalizing the Installation 1. Remove the glass (see page 27). NOTE: set. If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs, driftwood, or stone 2. We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas to be detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up. 3. Make sure the accent light works correctly.
Installation (for qualified installers only) 26 9. Check the air shutter following the directions below. Air Shutter Adjustment Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes (make sure the media and glass are in place). The flames should be yellow with no sooting. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame. Correct Flames should be blue at the base, yellow-orange on the top. Not Enough Air If the flames are too tall or sooty on the ends, open the air shutter.
Finalizing the Installation (for qualified installers only) 27 Face and Glass Removal ! Make sure the gas control valve is “OFF” and the heater is cool prior to conducting service. Phillips Screwdriver b a Open the two latches holding the glass frame in place - follow the directions shown below Remove the two screws securing the stove top. Lift the stove top off the stove and place it aside.
Finalizing the Installation (for qualified installers only) Glass Frame Removal and Installation (continued) The latch can come loose from glass frame anchor. This occurs when it is turned 1/4 turn when it is disengaged. Follow the directions below to re-install the latch if it becomes loose. Hold the latch at an angle and insert it into the slot on the glass frame anchor. Latch NOTE: this slot may be at a different angle than illustrated.
Finalizing the Installation (for qualified installers only) 29 Media Installation (Log, Stone, or Driftwood) ! The logs are fragile, especially after being exposed to heat. • Make sure the gas control valve is “OFF” and the heater is cool prior to conducting service. • Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
Operation 30 Before You Begin Warning: Read this entire manual before you use your new stove (especially the section "Safety Precautions" on pages 4 & 5). Failure to follow the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. Warning: Do not operate appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
Operation 31 Starting the Stove for the First Time • Burn the heater at a high setting with the blower off for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will cure the painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This is normal. We recommend opening a window to vent the room. • Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the stove - this is normal. • Blue Flames will occur on the stove when it first comes on.
Operation 32 Accent Light This stove has a built-in accent light that may be turned on and off and dimmed to your preference. Turn the knob to achieve the desired light output.
