Safety Precautions IF YOU SMELL GAS: * * * * * Do not light any appliance Extinguish any open flame Do not touch any electrical switch or plug or unplug anything Open windows and vacate building Call gas supplier from neighbor's house, if not reached, call fire department This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an explosion. Your dealer will know the requirements in your area and can inform you of those people considered qualified.
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 rear 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. NOTE: With the rear burner off (comfort control), the heater may not become hot enough for the blower to turn on. OFF Turn the dial all the way counter-clockwise until it clicks off.
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. Clean the plated surface with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth (with the fireplace cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the surface.
Maintenance 11 Grill Installation and Removal Follow the directions below to install. Upper Grill Installation (FPX and Avalon) Hold the grill at an angle and insert the lower slot over the lower bushing on the fireplace (both sides) Swing the grill upwards to engage the upper slot. You will need to lift the grill slightly to get it over the bushing. Once in place the grill is held in place by gravity.
Maintenance Face Installation and Removal Some fireplaces have a face that fits over the glass frame. The face can be removed following the directions below. Phillips Screwdriver Four screws hold the face in place. The screws are accessed through the grills on the face.
Maintenance 13 Glass Frame Removal and Installation a Warning: The appliance must be completely cool before removing the glass. Warning: Do not strike or slam the glass. Based upon the face being used, either: (a) swing the access door down and remove the top grill, (b) remove the face (unscrew or lift off - see the instructions included with the face for details). Open the four latches holding the glass frame in place (start with the bottom three) - follow the directions shown to the right.
Maintenance Glass Frame Removal and Installation (continued) The latch can come loose from the latch assembly. This occurs only when it is rotated. Follow the directions below to re-install the latch if it comes 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. Top of Firebox Glass Frame Anchor Note how the washer on the latch fits behind the flange on the glass frame anchor.
