THE FIRST FIRE
Before lighting the replace for the rst time, ensure that the replace is clean and free of any foreign objects, dust or construction
debris. Make certain that all of the electric, gas and venting connections are proper and secure.
The rst time you light your replace an odor may be given o by the hot metal. This is normal and is a result of the ‘burn o’ of
the lubricants and sealants used when manufacturing the replace. We recommend that you open the nearby windows for extra
ventilation and operate the replace for at least four hours.
Upon lighting the replace when the glass is cold, some condensation may appear on the glass. This is normal and the
condensation will disappear as the glass warms.
During this rst re, examine the ame for appearance and quality. Examine the burner media for sooting. The ames should look
like those shown in Figure 48.
After this burn-o period, turn o the replace and let it cool completely to room temperature and clean both sides of the glass
and the interior panels as described in the MAINTENANCE section.
Since it is a metal replace, the heat-up and cool-down cycles may produce some noises caused by the expansion and contraction
of these metals. The premium materials and build quality of your replace will keep these sounds to a minimum.
Automatic Turndown.
1. In Manual/Temperature/Timer modes, the valve will turn to pilot ame if there is no change in ame height for a six hour
period. In Temperature or Timer mode, if the ambient room temperature changes, the ame height will adjust automatically to
maintain set temperature and the re will continue to function normally. The valve will turn to pilot ame if the set temperature
and the ambient room temperature remain the same over a six hour period.
2. The valve turns to pilot ame if the temperature in the receiver is higher than 140°F/60°C. The main burner comes back on only
when the temperature is below 140°F/60°C.
Automatic Shut O.
1. With low battery power in the receiver, the system shuts o the re completely. This does not happen if the power supply is
interrupted.
2. The system shuts o the re completely if there is no change in ame height for 5 days.
3. The system shuts o the re if the main burner does not completely ignite approximately 20 seconds after ignition or after
pushing the Ç button.
