CAUTIONS
Fireplace gas control must be in the “OFF” position and pilot
and main burners extinguished when cleaning appliance with
a vacuum.
Doors and logs can get very hot. Handle only when cool.
General
Have the fireplace installation inspected yearly, including a visual
check of the vent system, the burner and the pilot flame. For your
convenience a 1/8" manifold pressure tap is supplied on the gas
valve for a test gauge connection. See Figure 28.
For Natural Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure
of 5.5" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C.
For Propane Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pres-
sure of 11" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.
Always keep the fireplace area clear and free of combustible
materials, as well as gasoline and other flammable vapours and
liquids.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Imme-
diately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance
and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
Operation
Lighting Instructions
See pages 13 and 14.
Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking and
a visible film may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition, and
is the result of burning of protective coatings on new metal.
Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which is a
normal biproduct of combustion) which may be visible. Film can
easily be removed by removing the door, as shown on page 11.
Handle the door carefully, and clean it with non-abrasive glass
cleaners. One of the most effective products is Kel Kem.
Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas", leav-
ing a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion cham-
ber walls. This can easily be removed using normal household
products.
Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control com-
partment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
Logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot
Adjusting the Burner

To raise the flame height, turn the black knob marked 'Flame
Control' counterclockwise.
To lower the flame height, turn clockwise.

WARNING:
Do not attempt to clean glass when hot.
Do not clean glass with abrasive materials as any glass etch-
ing may cause premature glass failure.
