7 Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct

flame (see the illustration below).

¥ The air shutter adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas before it exits the burner holes.

It is used to fine-tune the flame for differences in altitude and vent configuration.

Locate the air shutter adjustment lever behind the gas control valve. Move it up or down until the flame is correct. Pushing up gives the flame more air (making it bluer). Pulling it down cuts air down, making it more orange.

NOTE: If the air control is all the way up, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the fireplace and contact a qualified gas service technician.

Starting The Pilot Flame

OPERATING YOUR HEATER (CONTINUED) PAGE 19

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. To start the pilot follow the directions below:

WARNING:

When lighting or re-lighting the pilot, the

glass must be removed (see page 14).

a Remove the glass (see page 14 for details).

b 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. Wait five

minutes to let any gas that may have

accumulated inside the firebox escape. If

you smell leaking 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.

WARNING:

If the pilot does not light after 15

seconds, release the knob and call your

dealer for service. Do not attempt to

light pilot until service has been

performed.

Starting the Heater for the First Time

+ Start the heater and allow it to burn on medium for one hour. This will help cure the paint. + Fumes and smoke from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel may occur the first time you

start your heater. This is normal. We recommend you open windows to vent the room.

+ Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the heater - this is normal. + Blue Flames will occur on the heater when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will

turn a more realistic yellow and orange color. ? 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".

Turning the Heater On and Off

After the pilot has been started...

For systems with thermostats, use this switch to control the temperature (right is hotter, left cooler). Some systems require the on/off switch to be on.

Use this switch to turn the main burner on and off manually.

See the instructions included with the remote for changing the battery.

See the instructions included with the remote for details on operation.

! Do not place any combustible items on top of or directly in front of the heater, even temporarily.

The optional thermostat may start the heater causing a combustible item to ignite. ? If the heater turns on and off frequently while using the thermostat, you may want to adjust the flame

height down until it produces just enough heat needed.

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 gas control valve.

PAGE 22 MAINTAINING YOUR HEATER

Maintaining Your Heater's Appearance

! Fingerprints or other marks left on the gold surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior to

turning the heater on. Clean the surfaces with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth.

Cleaning Your Heater

¥ Use denatured alcohol and a soft cloth to clean the gold surfaces. Other cleaners may leave a film that may become

etched into the gold. ¥ All other surfaces may be cleaned with a soft rag, soap and water.

Yearly Service Procedure

! Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous situation. We

recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician. 1 Check the pilot flame. It should engulf approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermocouple (see illustration below). If it

does not, contact your dealer or a qualified technician for service. 2 Shut off gas to the heater by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on page 19).

Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Remove the door and face (see the instructions included with the face) and remove

the glass (see page 14). 3 Remove the logs, twigs and embers (see page 15 - NOTE: the logs are fragile). If any log is cracked or deteriorated,

replace it when re-installing. Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal.

If excessive sooting is found, the heater will require adjustment. Contact your dealer or a qualified technician for service. 4 Clean the burner pan (especially in the burner holes and slots) and inspect the following:

¥ Check for burner pan holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded. ¥ Make sure the burner pan assembly fits flat against the floor of the firebox. ¥ Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.

If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for or a qualified technician for service.

Before Disassembly: Check the pilot flame. It should impinge the top 3/8Ó of the thermopile and engulf the thermocouple.

5 Replace the log set. Inspect the glass gasket. If it is deteriorated, replace. It may be re-attached to the glass using high-

temperature gasket cement (see page 14 for an illustration). If the glass is damaged, replace it. Replace the glass and

tighten the glass clip nuts fully. Make sure the gasket forms a seal and the side pieces of glass butt up against the center

piece. If needed, re-align or replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Replace the door. 6 Inspect the area behind the control cover. Check the gas control valve and all of the gas lines. If any damage is found,

discontinue use and contact your dealer for service. 7 Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top of the firebox. If

the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service. Monitor the blower operation. 8 Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is found

near the vent termination.

PAGE 24 TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED)

How this Heater Works

! This heater was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside this

heater are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this

heater.

What Turns the Main Burners On and Off

This heater uses a millivolt system to control its operation (a millivolt is a very small amount of

electricity). The thermopile and thermocouple generate electricity when heated by the pilot flame.

This electricity is used to operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the gas valve will not

turn on. That is why when starting the pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough

for the thermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The thermopile provides power 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 (although the blower will not run).

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

This electricity is used to operate the main burners.

The main burners are switched on and off using the electricity generated by the thermopile.

VENT

OFF

PILOT ADJ

The ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat control the circuit to the main burner.

MAIN BURNER

OFF

What Prevents Gas Buildup

+ This appliance utilizes a high-technology gas valve in conjunction with a pilot flame to ensure no

gas builds up inside the firebox. + The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot flame is lit. If the pilot flame goes out,

this thermocouple no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to automatically shut off all

gas to the heater, preventing the pilot from spilling gas into the firebox.

Pilot Flame

The pilot flame 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 thermocouple. If any component is damged or sensing a malfunction, or if the wiring is damaged, it will shut off all gas.

PILOT ADJ

VENT

OFF

External Shut Off Valve

This valve is placed on the gas line to shut off gas to the appliance during maintenance procedures.

Thermocouple

The thermocouple generates a small amount of electricity. If the pilot flame goes out, the gas valve automatically shuts off all gas.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED) PAGE 25

Why Nothing Should Be Placed Against the Heater

Your heater has a grill on the sides, bottom, and top that must not be blocked. These openings 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.

Thermostat (Part # 99300650)

! Do not connect 120 VAC to the gas control valve or wiring of this unit. 1 Expose the back of the on/off switch (it is either on the upper right corner of the surround panels or

on the controls bracket to the right of the gas control valve). Remove the green jumper wire and attach the thermostat wire to the back of the on/off switch (see the illustration below).

Remove the green

jumper wire.

Attach the quick connects from the wire to the two posts on the on/off switch.

2 Run the thermostat wire behind the surround panels. Pull through all the slack (you may wish to

wrap the wire in electrical tape to prevent damage to the wire). Determine a location for the thermostat that is within range of the 50' length of thermostat wire. It should be centralized in the room and away from the heater. The wire may be routed externally on the wall or behind the wall (preferred).

3 Install the thermostat following the directions below.

Attach the thermostat to the wall through these two holes.

Re-attach the cover removed in step ÒaÓ.

Remote Thermostat

! Do not connect 110-120 VAC to the gas control valve or wiring system of this unit. ¥ Follow the instructions included with the remote thermostat for installation. IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL NOTE FOR REMOTE THERMOSTAT USE:

Included with the remote thermostat is a set of instructions that should be given to the homeowner. Please be aware that the remote thermostat has a 1 to 2 minute lag time between the time the thermostat is turned up and the heater turns on.

Decorative Fireback (part # 98500732)

The decorative classic fireback attaches to the side walls of the firebox to enhance the aesthetic quality of the appliance. The directions below detail installation.

! Turn the gas control valve to "OFF" prior to conducting any service.

1 The faceplate, glass, and log set must be removed prior to installing the firebacks.

2 Use a 5/16" socket wrench or standard screwdriver to remove the four screws on each side of

the firebox wall (see the illustration below).

3 Attach the fireback clips to the side walls using 1/2" screws included with this kit.

4 Place the firebacks onto the fireback clips. The side plates are marked "Left" and "Right" on

the back to differentiate the two sides. Insert the 1" screws included with this kit through the plates and into the walls of the firebox to secure the plates in place. Do not fully tighten the screws - the firebacks should have some space to expand and contract.

ADDENDUM #1 Altitude Considerations

This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 M). In this testing we have found that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment. For information on adjusting the air shutter see page 17 of this manual.

! Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a

safety hazard. Please consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.
