LOG PLACEMENT Before you begin: This fireplace insert is supplied with a set of seven ceramic fiber logs. Do not handle these logs with your bare hands. Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from ceramic fibers. After handling logs, wash your hands gently with soap and water to remove any traces of fiber. The positioning of logs is critical to safe and clean operation of this fireplace. Sooting and other problems may result if the logs are not properly and firmly positioned in the fireplace.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 750 Millivolt System The standing pilot (750 millivolt system) is a continuous burning pilot. The pilot remains ON even when the main burner is OFF. When you ignite the pilot, the thermopile produces millivolts (electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve. After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas control knob and the pilot will stay ON.
STANDING PILOT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING Warning: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly. B. Before lighting smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
STANDING PILOT WIRING For Standing Pilot Ignition Wiring Optional Wall Switch Appliance Requirements Position the wall switch in the desired position on a wall. Run a maximum of 25 feet (7.8m) or less length of 18 A.W.G. minimum wire and connect it to the fireplace valve pigtails.
