Safety Precautions AA AA AA AA A Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near the heater. Because this heater can be controlled by a thermostat there is a possibility of the heater turning on and igniting any items placed on or near it. The viewing glass should be opened only for lighting the pilot or conducting service. Do not operate with cracked, broken, or removed glass. Operate the heater according to the instructions included in this manual.
Operation Before You Begin • Read this entire manual before you use your new fireplace (especially the section "Safety Precautions" on pages 4 & 5). Failure to follow the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. Location of Controls The Pilot Flame can be found under the right side log .
Operation Starting The Pilot Flame The pilot flame is required to ignite the main burners (it also plays a safety role). It should be left on once lit. It will stay lit unless the gas control valve is turned to "OFF". However, the pilot will go out if the gas is shut off, the propane tank runs out (or low) or if the stove malfunctions. If the pilot turns off frequently, call your dealer for information.
Operation Starting the Fireplace 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 fireplace - this is normal. • Blue Flames will occur on the fireplace when it first comes on.
Operation 9 Adjusting the Optional Blower Speed The blower helps transfer heat from the heater into the room. It will not turn on until the heater is up to temperature (approximately 10 minutes after starting). See the illustration below for instructions on adjusting the blower speed. OFF Turn the dial all the way counter-clockwise until it clicks off. LOW HIGH The high position is all the way counter-clockwise, without clicking off. Turn the dial all the way clockwise.
Maintenance Maintaining Your Fireplace's Appearance Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional plated surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior to turning the fireplace on.
