CHECKING APPLIANCE OPERATION
With gas line installed run initial system check-
out before installing any additional accesso-
ries. Follow the lighting instructions provided
in the Care and Operation Instructions.
Note: Lighting Instructions are also found on
the literature tag tied to the gas piping next
to the gas valve. To access the tag, open the
lower control compartment door (refer to
Figure 13 - Valve Access ).
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 (remove logs, if neces-
sary, handling carefully).
After the logs have been placed and the
fireplace has been checked for proper flame
presentation, use the remaining rock to fill in
voids and spaces. Remember, you may need
to access the high/low flame control beneath
the refractory cover.

To light the burner, turn ‘ON’ the remote wall
switch. The battery will energize a spark that
will light the pilot. The pilot flame will engulf
the sensor and open the main valve. Within
seconds the main burner will light. Ensure the
ignitor lights the pilot. The pilot flame should
engulf the sensor as shown in Figure 17.

FIREBOX FINISHES
There are a wide variety of "finished looks" for your outdoor fireplace, from formal wall decor with
elaborate mantels to rustic wood paneling or warm brick facings.
Only noncombustible materials like marble, stone, tile, brick, etc. may overlap the top and sides of
the front facing. Seal all joints between the black facing and wall surrounds to prevent air intrusion.
Use noncombustible caulking materials only to seal the metal facing to the surround material on
the finished wall. See Figure 18.
CAUTION: DO NOT BLOCK THE FACE OPENING ON THESE FIREBOXES. DOING SO MAY CREATE
A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu
with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, obtain fresh air immediately.
Turn off the gas supply to the appliance and have it serviced by a qualified professional, as
it may not be operating correctly.
