Vent Requirements (continued)

The vent termination must meet the following requirements:

¥ Vent termination must have an approved cap (to prevent water from entering) ¥ Vent termination must not be located where it will become plugged by snow or

other material

¥ Vent termination must extend a minimum of 6" above the top of the chimney

NOTE: When installed, the vent must provide suitable draft for the

appliance. Other factors, such as exhaust fans, may create negative pressure inside the home and cause down drafts. Additional vent height may be required in these circumstances.

How to tell if you have negative pressure:

The most common indication of a negative pressure situation is the heater (and pilot) turning off between 10 and 25 minutes from the time the main burner was started (this happens most often on cold days). The main burner turns on, but instead of warming the flue and creating draft, it vents out of the draft hood at the rear of the heater. The spill switch then heats up, and in about 5 to 15 minutes shuts off all gas to the heater (shutting off the main burner and pilot). If a thermostat is used on your heater, and the pilot shuts down sporadically, you may have a negative pressure situation.

Gas Line Install

The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI

223.1 and the requirements listed below.

PILOT IGNITER The pilot igniter is used only while starting the pilot. When pressed, it

sends an electrical charge to the pilot assembly. This creates a blue spark directly next to the pilot light, igniting it.

BLOWER Dial This dial controls the speed of the internal convection blower that pushes

the heated air into the room.

NOTE: The ON/OFF Switch must be left "ON" if using the remote control or

thermostat. Turning the ON/OFF Switch to "OFF" will keep the heater off always.

PAGE 16 OPERATING YOUR HEATER (CONTINUED)

Starting The Pilot

The pilot light is used to ignite the main burners when the stove is turned on and also provides an important safety role. It will stay lit once it is started. However, the gas flowing to the pilot will shut off whenever the pilot goes out. If the pilot turns off frequently, call your dealer for information. To start the pilot follow the directions below:

A. Push the gas control

knob in slightly and turn it to the "OFF" position. The knob will not turn from "ON" to "OFF" unless the knob is depressed slightly.

B. Wait five minutes to

let any gas that may have accumulated inside the firebox escape. If you smell gas, follow the directions on the cover "IF YOU SMELL GAS".

C. Turn the gas control

knob to the "PILOT" position and press the knob in, this will allow gas to flow to the pilot light. Press the red button on the pilot igniter repeatedly until you see the pilot light. KEEP THE GAS CONTROL KNOB DEPRESSED FOR 30 SECONDS ONCE IT IS LIT. Note: If the pilot does not light after several tries, call your dealer for service.

If the pilot light goes out after releasing the knob, repeat step C above.

Running Your Heater

Your heater may be turned on and off manually, with the optional remote control, or by the optional thermostat. The speed of the blower and the height of the flame can also be adjusted manually.

NOTE: When the heater first comes on, the flames will be blue and

somewhat transparent. After fifteen minutes the flames will turn a more realistic yellow and orange color.

NOTE: Certain installations use a remote "wall switch" to turn the heater on

and off. If this is the case, leave the ON/OFF switch on "ON".

NOTE: When this switch is turned to the "OFF" position the main burner

will not operate. However, the pilot flame will stay lit.

Starting the Heater for the First Time

Cure the Paint

To cure the paint, start the heater and turn the flame height to low. Leave it on for 20 minutes then turn it off and let it cool. Repeat this process two more times to fully cure the paint. You will smell the paint curing Ð this is normal.

Ventilate the Room

You may wish to ventilate the room by opening a window. Furthermore, the glass may become obscure during the first 10 hours of burning due to the components inside the firebox curing. Clean the glass with a glass cleaner after the first ten hours of operation.

PAGE 18 OPERATING YOUR HEATER (CONTINUED)

Turning the Heater On and Off

¥ Manual Operation

After the pilot has been on for approximately one minute the heater may be turned on and off by pressing the ON/OFF switch located behind the access panel underneath the ashlip (see the illustration to the right).

¥ Remote Control Operation (Optional)

The remote control turns the heater on from any location within the room. It utilizes a remote control and a receiver (usually located in the wall near the heater). Make sure the following has been done before trying to use the remote control: 1) The pilot is on; 2) The on/off switch is turned to "ON", and; 3) The switch on the remote control receiver is turned to "REMOTE" (see the illustration below). This switch can also be used to turn the heater on and off manually. The remote control requires two batteries, one in the remote and one in the remote control receiver .

¥ Thermostat Operation (Optional)

After the pilot has been started the heater may be controlled by a thermostat. The on/off switch on the heater must be turned "ON" for the thermostat to operate. The thermostat will automatically turn the heater on and off depending on the temperature. If the thermostat does not turn the heater on, the thermostat may be set too low or the on/off switch may be turned "OFF". If the thermostat does not turn the heater off, the thermostat may be set too high. If the thermostat does not work after making these adjustments, call your dealer for service.

Hookup Wire

This button on the remote control turns the heater on and off

HINT: If the heater turns on and off frequently, you may want to adjust the

flame height down until it produces just enough heat needed. This keeps the thermostat from turning the heater on and off repeatedly.

WARNING: Do not place any combustible items on top of the heater, even

temporarily. The thermostat is automatic and may start the heater causing a combustible item to ignite.

Adjusting the Flame Height

Your heater has an adjustable flame to tailor the look and heat output to your specific needs. It is adjusted by turning the middle dial on the valve assembly.

Normal Operating Sounds

Burner Pan

The burner pan is underneath the logs and is used to mix the proper amount of air with the natural gas to produce a clean and efficient burn. When it is

started you will hear a slight "whoosh" sound. When the main burner is running you will hear the gas flowing through the burner pan and orifices Ð

this sound will decrease as the flame height is lowered.

Gas Control Valve

As the gas control valve is turned on and off you will

hear a dull clicking sound. This is the valve opening up and shutting down.

Stove Body

Due to the heavy steel construction, occasional clicks may come from the

heater, especially during startup.

Pilot Flame

The pilot flame, which remains on, makes a very slight "whisper" sound.

Blower This heater uses a high tech blower to push heated air into the room. It

will make a whirring sound and will increase in volume as the speed is increased.

Blower Thermodisk This part can produce a

clicking sound as it turns the blower on and off.

Inspecting the Door

The door must seal against the door seal for your heater to operate correctly.

1. Remove the door (follow the directions under "Inspecting the Firebox").

2. Place the door face down and check the items below. If the gaskets or glass require replacing, follow the instructions below.

The door gasket should be unbroken, have enough

bulge to contact the face of the unit, and be firmly attached to the door frame.

The glass gasket should form an airtight seal between the glass and the door frame.

3. Then replace the door. Turn the door handle clockwise until the door seals tight.

Make sure the handle faces outwards and is not in front of the glass.

Replacing the Door Gasket

Remove the old gasket (use a screwdriver if necessary - see the illustration below). Apply a line of gasket cement (available from your dealer) in the groove that follows the perimeter of the door. Insert the gasket into the groove. Do not stretch the gasket as you place it into the groove. Cut off any excess gasket when done. Allow 2 hours for the cement to dry. When re-installing the door, the gasket may need to be flattened by repeatedly opening and closing the door firmly.

Align the 3/8" white rope gasket (new or old) along the ledge that follows the perimeter of the window opening. If using a new gasket, trim off any excess. Place the glass (new or old) in place so there is a small gap between the edge of the glass and the door frame. Make sure the gasket is tucked underneath the glass so the glass does not touch the door frame. Cut four 5" lengths of 3/8" flat white gasket or use the existing undamaged flat gasket. These pieces are placed between the retaining clips and the glass to prevent the glass from cracking or moving when the clips are secured. Place the glass clips in place and secure them with the screws removed earlier. Tighten the retaining clips until the gaskets start to flatten.

How this Heater Works

This gas heater is designed with safety as the primary concern. Most of the components inside this heater are used for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this heater. Your dealer can help you find a certified gas service technician.

What Turns the Main Burners On and Off

This heater uses a "millivolt system" to control its operation. A millivolt is a very small measurement of electricity. The thermopile, located directly next to the pilot light, generates electricity when it is heated by the pilot light. If the pilot is not lit, the thermopile does not generate electricity. This electricity is used to keep the gas valve open. Without it, the gas valve shuts off all gas to the heater. That is why when starting the pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for the thermopile to heat up and start generating electricity. This current not only keeps the gas valve open but also provides electricity for the ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat (see the illustration below). Because the thermopile generates the electricity needed to turn the heater on and off, this heater can be operated when the power is out (but the blower will not run).

When heated, the thermopile generates electricity (a very small amount, measured in "Millivolts").

This electricity is needed to keep the gas valve open and to operate the main burners.

Why Nothing Should Be Placed Against the Heater

Your heater has a grill below the ashlip and convection air openings on the side and top that must not be blocked. The grill below the ashlip allows air into the firebox. If it is blocked the combustion inside the firebox will not burn normally. This will result in reduced efficiency and the exhaust gases will become dirty. The convection air openings on the side and top are used to draw room air over the hottest parts of the heater and distribute the warmed air into the room. If they are blocked, the heater will not heat as well and may become too hot internally.

The main burners are switched on and off using the electricity generated by the thermopile. The ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat control the circuit to the main burner.

Do not block the air openings on the side or top.

They are used to pull convection air over the hottest parts of the stove.

Do not block this grill. It provides air for combustion.

What Prevents Gas Buildup

Your heater has a high technology gas valve in combination with safety sensors which prevent any gas from building up. It also has a pilot light inside the firebox, which is a proven method for preventing gas buildup.

While the main burner is off

There is a thermopile directly next to the pilot light which can sense if the pilot is still lit. If the pilot goes out, this thermopile will no longer generate electricity which will cause the gas valve to automatically shut off all gas to the unit. This prevents the pilot light from spilling gas into the firebox.

While the main burner is on

The pilot light insures that the gas ignites inside the firebox, and that no gas builds up. In the unlikely case of the vent blocking, there is a sensor which will sense any backdrafts or overheating. This sensor will signal the gas valve to shut off all gas to the unit if the vent is blocked.

TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED) PAGE 25

Spillage Sensor

This device detects if any flue gases spill into the room. If it senses any spillage, the gas valve automatically shuts off all gas (the heater will then need to be restarted).

External Shut Off Valve

This valve is provided to shut off gas to the heater during maintenance procedures.

Ceramic Glass

The glass in your heater is the most durable glass available. It has been tested to be extremely resistant to breakage and temperature changes.

Pilot Light

The pilot light is a time-proven component that eliminates the possibility of gas buildup inside the firebox.

Gas Valve

This high technology valve automatically shuts off all gas if it does not receive a signal from the thermopile, door, or spillage sensor. If any component is damged or sensing a malfunction, or if the wiring is damaged, it will shut off all gas.

Thermopile

The thermopile generates a small amount of electricity. If the pilot does go out, the gas valve automatically shuts off all gas (the heater will then need to be restarted).

Stove Legs Installation (Brass # 99200500, Cast Black # 99200800, Black Steel # 99200100)

There are three different stove legs available for your gas stove: cast brass; cast black; and, black steel. The instructions for installing the legs are the same for each type of leg.

Raise the stove by inserting some pieces of lumber in the middle of the stove to a height of about 8". Line up the hole in the top of the leg with the threaded bolt hole in each corner of the stove bottom. Using a 9/16" open end or socket wrench, fasten the leg to the stove with the supplied attachment bolts and washers, making sure the legs are flush with the corners of the stove. Unscrew the leveling bolts enough so the stove will rest on the upper tips, not the metal portion of the legs. Lower the stove down.

Attach each leg to the stove by inserting a bolt and washer through the hole or slot in the leg and into the threaded hole on the stove. Use a 9/16" socket wrench to tighten.

To level the stove, lift the stove up and unscrew each leveling bolt the appropriate amount. The rubber tips of the leveling bolts will tear if they are adjusted while weight is applied to them.

Pedestal (Part # 99200109)

Unpack the box containing the pedestal and check for any damage. Report any damage to your dealer.

Slide the wood trim included with the pedestal on to the front and back edge of the pedestal so it lines up from side to side. Place the pedestal in place and lift the stove on top of it. Line up the threaded bolt holes in the bottom of the stove with the two holes on the tabs on the inside edge of the pedestal (see the illustration below). Using a 9/16" socket wrench, fasten the pedestal to the stove with the supplied bolts and washers.

5. Replace the ashlip control housing. Make sure none of the wiring is pinched.

6. Determine the location of the thermostat. Find a location that is centralized in the room and within reach of 50' of wire. Route the thermostat wire to the location and attach the thermostat wire to the thermostat. Cut off any excess length of wire and expose approximately 1/2" of wire for connection to the thermostat. Attach the thermostat wire to the two clips on the thermostat using a standard screwdriver. Make sure the wire makes a good electrical contact.

7. Remove the cover of the thermostat by pulling it apart carefully. The thermostat has mounting holes on each side of its base. Use the included screws to attach the thermostat to the wall. Tuck any excess wire behind the thermostat and replace the thermostat cover.

8. Test the thermostat's operation prior to leaving the installation. Turn the thermostat to it's highest position (all the way to the right). Start the pilot, let it run five minutes, then turn the on/off switch on. The heater should turn on. If it does not, check all of the electrical connections and re-test. The thermostat should turn the heater on when turned to its highest position, and turn off

when turned to its lowest position. NOTE: if the temperature in the room is not between 50° and 90° this will not work because of the thermostat's range. Wait until a suitable temperature is

achieved in the room before testing the thermostat.
