Recommendations for Finishing of Clean View Linear Products
4
Only non-combustible materials may be used over the face of the appliance. We recommend that DUROCK (non-combustible material) be tied in to the entire perimeter of the fireplace for durability.
Finishing Recommendations (Obtained from professional construction contractors and finishers):
Frame unit with metal studs (minimum 20 gauge). Minimum of 1/2” DUROCK cement board (this non-combustible panel is ULC li sted as a wall shield/floor protector) and
fasten to the entire perimeter framing.
Use fiberglass (mesh) tape for all joints in area of the fireplace. Use Yellow joint mud (contains high amounts of glue) – two coats, finishing with one coat of green topping mud, sand
and prep for painting.
If not using a surround, a metal “L” Trim may be used to finish perimeter of DUROCK. Refer to the following website for more information on using DUROCK Cement Board: www.cgcinc.com

Pre-installation Questions and Answers
About curing of the paint
Your stove or fireplace has been painted with the highest quality silicone stove paint. This paint dries quickly in 15-20 minutes when first applied at the factory. However, due to the high temperature silicone components, the paint will cure when heat is applied to the appliance as it is first used. The following information applies to the curing process to get the paint fully hard and durable.
Fire the appliance four successive times for 10 minutes each firing and a 5 minute cool down between each. Be aware during log and firebox paint curing that a white deposit may be developing on the inside of the glass doors. It is important to remove this white deposit from the glass doors using a commercial fireplace glass cleaner.
Babies, small children, pregnant women and pets should leave the area during the cure phase.
Ventilate well, open doors and windows.
Do not touch during curing.
Why does my fireplace or stove give off odour?
It is normal for your fireplace to give off some odour. This is due to the curing of the paint, adhesives, silicones and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process as well as the finishing materials used with the installations (e.g. marble, tile and the adhesives used to adhere this product to the walls can react with heat and cause odours).
It is recommended that you burn your gas fireplace or stove for a minimum of four hours at a time with the fan off (if a fan is present) after the curing of the paint has been completed. These odours can last upward to 40 hours of burn time; keep burning at a minimum of four hours per use until odours dissipate.
Noise coming from the fireplace?
Noise is caused by the expansion and contraction of metal as the appliance heats up and cools down. This is normal and is similar to the sounds produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of your fireplace.
Operating Instructions
1. Be sure to read and understand all the instructions in this manual before operation of appliance.
2. Ensure all wiring is correct and properly enclosed to prevent possible shock.
3. Check for gas leaks.
4. Make sure the glass door is properly installed before operation. Never operate the appliance with the glass door
removed.
5. Make sure venting and termination cap are installed and unobstructed.
6. If brick or porcelain liners are used, ensure they are installed.
7. Verify that the pilot can be seen when lighting the appliance. If not, the log or rock placement is incorrect.
8. If the unit is turned off, you must wait a minimum of 60 seconds before re-lighting it.

MQRB4436: Framing Your Gas Fireplace
10
This section is intended for qualified installers only. Before beginning, make note of where the gas and electrical accesses are located on the unit. This will streamline the construction process. Furthermore, familiarize yourself with the venting and clearance requirements (see Venting section) for this appliance. Failure to comply with those requir ements can seriously compromise the safety and operation of the fireplace.
Kingsman Flex venting MUST be used on the MQRB4436.
Use of Simpson Duravent or other hard pipe Venting systems is not permitted.
Specifications
1. Cold climate installation recommendation: When installing this fireplace against non insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recommended that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes. Drywall & vapor barrier must be installed over insulation to prevent contact of insulation and unit.
2. Choose fireplace location and frame in accordance with the fireplace framing dimensions specified. Airbox on flue side must maintain Min. 1” Clearance from Combustible (Wood) Framing (see framing di agrams).
3. Drywall or other combustible material can extend up to the Drywall Stops located on the sides of the unit, and up to the bottom and top.
4. When installing horizontal with a 90 degree bend, maintain a minimum of five inches [5"] above the bend with the Wall Thimble Shield [Z57WTS] in enclosures below seventy-two inches [72”]. See MQRB4436 Combustible Enclosure Heights page.
5. A Hearth is not required for this unit.
Vertical Venting in Cold Climates
In cold climate conditions where temperatures go below -10 degrees Celsius or 14 degrees Fahrenheit, we recommend that the chase be insulated and where the vent pipe enters into the attic space that the pipe be wrapped with an insulated Mylar sleeve. This will increase the temperature of the vent and h elp the a pp liance to vent properly in cold weather conditions. It is also important in vertical vented direct vent appliances that the appliance be operated daily during the winter months as this will help stop the termination from freezing up. We recommend using a thermostat (Not permitted for vented gas fireplaces installed in the U.S.A.) set at room temperature to allow the unit to cycle. For IPI models it may be necessary to set the appliance to Standing Pilot mode to maintain heat in the cavity. The purpose of this procedure is to prevent cold air from penetrating the chimney and then onto the living space. Therefore, when the internal temperature is slightly elevated the fireplace is able to freely exhaust its combustion and hence making it easier to startup.
Certified for installation in a bedroom or bedsitting room. In Canada must be installed
with listed millivolt thermostat (Not permitted for vented gas fireplaces installed in the
Stand-off Locations
Make note of where the stand-off locations are. These stand-offs are provided as indicators to illustrate the boundaries for framing. Therefore, no framing material is permitted to extend beyond these stand-offs.

MQRB4436 Mantel Clearances
Before installing any mantels it is important to determine the combustibility of its material(s). There are two types of mantels to consider: Combustible and Non­Combustible.
A Combustible Mantel is one that consists of material(s) that may discolor, combust, or lose its integrity in the presence of heat. These types of mantels must strictly conform to the dimensional requirements shown below.
Conversely, a Non-Combustible Mantel is one that is constructed with material(s) that will not combust. Check your local codes and regulations to determine whether your mantel is Combustible or No n-Combustible.
The advantage to Non-Combustible Mantels is that it may extend right up to the tile lip of the fireplace. Combustible mantels must adhere to the dimensional restrictions shown below.

This section is intended for qualified installers only. Before beginning, make note of where the gas and electrical accesses are located on the unit. This will streamline the construction process. Furthermore, familiarize yourself with the venting and clearance requirements (see Venting section) for this appliance. Failure to comply with those requirements can seriously compromise the safety and operation of the fireplace.
Specifications
1. Cold climate installation recommendation: When installing this fireplace against non insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recommended that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes. Drywall & vapor barrier must be installed over insulation to prevent contact of insulation and unit.
2. Choose fireplace location and frame in accordance with the fireplace framing dimensions specified. Airbox on flue side must maintain Min. 1” Clearance from Combustible (Wood) Framing (see framing diagrams).
3. Drywall or other combustible material can extend up to the Drywall Stops located on the sides of the unit, and up to the bottom and top.
4. When installing horizontal with a 90 degree bend, maintain a minimum of five inches [5"] above the bend with the Wall Thimble Shield [Z57WTS] in enclosures below seventy-two inches [72”]. See MQRB5143 Combustible Enclosure Heights page.
5. A Hearth is not required for this unit.
Vertical Venting in Cold Climates
In cold climate conditions where temperatures go below -10 degrees Celsius or 14 degrees Fahrenheit, we recommend that the chase be insulated and where the vent pipe enters into the attic space that the pipe be wrapped with an insulated Mylar sleeve. This will increase the temperature of the vent and help the appliance to vent properly in cold weather conditions. It is also important in vertical vented direct vent appliances that the appliance be operated daily during the winter months as this will help stop the termination from freezing up. We recommend using a thermostat (Not permitted for vented gas fireplaces installed in the U.S.A.) set at room temperature to allow the unit to cycle. For IPI models it may be necessary to set the appliance to Standing Pilot mode to maintain heat in the cavity. The purpose of this procedure is to prevent cold air from penetrating the chimney and then onto the living space. Therefore, when the internal temperature is slightly elevated the fireplace is able to freely exhaust its combustion and hence making it easier to startup.

Glass Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During startup, condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass, and causes dust, lint etc. to cling to the glass surface.
Also, initial paint curing can deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended that initially the glass be cleaned two or three times with a commercial fireplace glass cleaner. After that, the glass should be cleaned two or three times a season depending on the circumstances.
Cautions and Warnings
Do not clean when the glass is hot. The use of substitute glass will void all product warranties (see Glass Replacement in this section). Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass. Do not operate this fireplace without the glass front or with a broken glass front. Do not strike or abuse the glass.
Glass Replacement
Only Robax ceramic or coated Neoceram glass may be used for replacement for Models MQRB4436, MQRB5143 and MQRB6169. Glass must be minimum 5mm thick.
To replace glass, clean all materials from the door frame. Scrape off old silicone all the way down to the metal. Using high-temp silicone [rated up to 500°F (260°C)] apply a continuous bead of approximately 1/8”-3/16” to all four [4] sides of the frame. With the frame resting on a flat surface, insert the new glass with a new gasket. Gently press the glass into the silicone. Be careful not to use excessive force on the glass. Let the silicone dry for approximately 15-20minutes.
Use caution when removing broken glass. Wear gloves.
Removal of the Glass Door
NOTE: A Door Latch Tool is provided to assist with removing and installing the glass doors. See next page.
1. Remove the door by unlatching the 2 top latches. Simply place 2 fingers in the grooves, and pull and lift upward slightly.
2. Once the top of the door is unlatched, tilt the door forward and lift upward to release the bottom.
3. When re-installing the door, place the bottom of the door into the door retainer slot and then secure the door with the top latches.
Spring Replacement
*Over time, the door latch spring (Part#36HB-123) may need to be replaced if tension is lost.
1. To replace latch spring, remove the 2 hex screws (located in the firebox) that secure the latch assem bl y in place.
2. Once the screws are removed the latches will slide out of place.
3. Remove the locknut from the latch assembly and replace the spring. Re-tighten the locknut until 2 thread turns are beyond the locknut. This is critical for proper tension. Replace latch assembly.

WARNING
BEFORE DOING ANY GAS CONTROL SERVICE WORK, REMOVE THE GLASS FRONT. Before troubleshooting the gas control system, be sure external gas shut off is in the "On" position.
Problem Possible Causes Corrective Action
Spark igniter will not light.
Pilot will not stay lit after carefully following lighting instructions.
Pilot burning, no gas to burner, valve knob “ON”, and wall switch “ON”.
Frequent pilot outage problem.
Flame lifts off burner and goes out in less than 30 seconds.
Flame lifts off burner on one side while the rest of the flame remains lit.
Defective or misaligned electrode at pilot.
Defective igniter (push­button).
Defective thermocouple (flame switch where applicable).
Defective valve magnet. Replace valve, if pilot won't hold after the thermocouple is replaced.
Wall switch or wires defective.
Generator may not be generating sufficient voltage.
Plugged burner orifice. Check burner orifice for stoppage and remove.
Defective automatic valve operator.
Pilot flame may be too low or blowing (high) causing the pilot safety to drop out.
The inner liner has come off flue or termination, flame is starving for oxygen.
Improper installation of firebrick. Firebrick is likely leaning.
Check for spark at electrode and pilot: if no spark and electrode wire is properly connected, replace igniter.
Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot and push the red button again. If pilot will not light - check gap at electrode and pilot should be 1/8" to 1/4" to have a strong spark.
Check pilot flame. Must impinge on generator and thermocouple. Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement on generator and thermocouple. Replace thermocouple if pilot will not hold. (Hand tight 1/8 turn on replacement)
Check wall switch and wires for proper connections. Jumper wire across terminals at wall switch. If burner comes on, replace defective wall switch. If okay, jumper wires, across wall switch wires at valve. If burner comes on, wires are faulty or connections are bad.
Check generator with millivolt meter. Take reading at generator terminals of gas valve. Should read 325 millivolts minimum while holding valve knob depressed in pilot position and wall switch "off" Replace faulty generator if reading is below specified minimum.
Remove wall switch wires from gas valve. Install jumper wires from top bottom terminals of gas valve. Turn valve on "ON". If main burner does not light, replace valve.
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame impingement on generator and thermocouple.

IPI Electronic Ignition System
68
Overview
The IPI system is an advanced burner controller that provides you with the option of having either a Standing-Pilot, or an intermittent igniting system. This alternating mode is controlled by the CPI/IPI Switch (Continuous Pilot Ignition/Intermittent Pilot Ignition) located on the IPI System Box. The difference between a Standing-Pilot and an Intermittent-Pilot is in whether the pilot stays lit or shuts off:
In Standing-Pilot, the pilot assembly is lit by the IPI Main Module and continues to stay lit until 1) the CPI/IPI Switch is switched to the IPI position; 2) a loss of electrical power (battery and AC source), 3) the flame sensor loses its signal, 4) the fuel supply discon­tinues, or 5) the IPI Main Module malfunctions.
In the Intermittent-Pilot mode, the pilot shuts off when the appliance is not in use. The advantage of this mode is that fuel is not consumed when the fireplace is not operating.
NOTE: In some jurisdictions, Intermittent-Pilot is required. That means the pilot cannot remain lit when the appliance is not operating.
Components
The core of the IPI system is the Main Module and the IPI Valve. With these two components the system is able to operate a gas fireplace. There are also other components available to complement the IPI system.

OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT THIS COVER.

NOTE: In certain instances the IPI Main Module requires resetting. This can occur if the system is unable to ignite the pilot or the main burner in the allotted time period. The IPI is programmed to lockout all commands. To reset this lockout you must deplete the system of all electrical power. This means to remove the batteries from the Battery Pack, remove the batteries from the Remote Receiver (if applicable), and disconnect the AC Adapter from the sys­tem. Leave the power off for approximately 25 seconds to clear its lockout.

mitter. There are two switches to note on the receiver module: The first switch on the Remote Receiver module is a 3-position slide switch. This switch is used to either manually
turn the main burner ON, activate the receiver to begin communication with the transmitter, or turn the main burner completely OFF. The position of the slide switch designates these functions respectively.
The second is the small round pushbutton [PRG] used for programming the receiver to respond to a designated remote. Therefore to program the system ensure that the transmitter is first turned OFF. Then, ensure that there is sufficient electrical power going to the Receiver module and a fresh set of batteries in the transmitter. Now switch the

NOTE: The Remote Receiver module can also be located outside
69
of the appliance to a maximum of 6ft away installed in a certified deep wall switch electrical box (2-3/4” depth). For this configuration an extension wiring harness (P/N: 1001-P904SI) is required.
Electrical Supply in Series: The entire IPI system can be powered by a single power source (i.e. by the AC Adapter). This is advantageous if you do not want to supply extra batteries. To achieve this simply connect the AC Adapter into the Remote Control wiring harness instead of the main IPI harness. From the Remote wiring harness, use its male plug-in connector and connect it to the female plug-in in the main IPI harness. Now the circuit is complete. So the way it works is that electrical power is supplied to the Remote Receiver module and then proceeds to the Main IPI module. Furthermore, note that a Backup Battery Pack is not required in this configuration. Instead, batteries in the Remote Receiver act as the backup supply.
Consult your Fireplace Installation Manual for IPI instructions for your specific unit.
Standing Pilot Mode for Colder Climates
For IPI models it may be necessary to set the appliance to Standing Pilot mode to maintain heat in the cavity. The purpose of this procedure is to prevent cold air from penetrating the chimney and then onto the living space. Therefore, when the internal temperature is slightly elevated the fireplace is able to freely exhaust its combustion and hence making it easier to startup.

4. Replace the Standoffs.
Flex Pipe Venting
Flex pipe is shipped in an unexpanded length. Therefore, when installing the pipe, expand it completely and then cut off the remaining length. A flex pipe can be expanded to twice their shipped length (e.g. 4ft. to 8ft).
Do not use more than 2 couplers to extend short pipes. Single sections are preferred in an installation attaching at the fireplace and termination.
Place the spring spacers provided approximately every two feet to stabilize inner flex in the center of the outer flex pipe. When forming bends place spring in bend or before and after.
ONLY VENTING COMPONENTS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED AND LABELED FOR THIS FIREPLACE MAY BE USED.
Termination
It is imperative that the vent termination be located observing the minimum clearances as shown. There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within 24" from the front of the termination plate.
Do not locate termination where excessive snow or ice build-up may occur. Be sure to check vent termination area after snow falls and clear to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers, make sure snow is not directed towards vent termination area.
Venting terminal shall not be recessed into a wall or siding.
Page 82
82
Figure 1 - Flex pipe spring spacing guide.
Horizontal runs require support metal straps every 2ft. In an offset installation support straps should be used to stabilize pipe.
Expand inner and outer flex pipe to the point that the outer flex pipe protrudes approximately 2 to 3 inches past outer wall and the inner flex protrudes approximately 2 to 3 inches past the outer flex pipe. Attach the inner flex pipe to the termination first and secure with sealant and [4] screws. Then attach the outer flex pipe to the termination with caulking and screws. Termination may then be moved back to the outer wall and attached to home screwing into the framing. Use silicone around the termination to provide waterproof seal. If siding shield is going to be used attach this after termination has been caulked for waterproofing.
Use High Temperature Sealant
Apply a bead of Mill Pac high temp sealant to all joints and use four screws to secure each pipe at fireplace, termination and
any joint if joining any sections of pipe.
NOTE: It is critical to the proper and safe operation of this fireplace that on all connections the inner liner and the outer casing
are both caulked with liberal amounts of sealant. Do not use any kind of tape or silicone other than that recomme nded in this
manual. Mill Pac Sealant
Venting Routes and Components
Since it is very important that the vent system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas
exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to. The table on the following page
showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal sid e wall ventin g will h elp to determine the various vent lengths.
The maximum horizontal run with the 90 degree bend at the fireplace flue outlet is 3’. The maximum horizontal run is 20ft
when the vertical run is 8ft. Note: 1/4" vertical rise is required for every 12" of horizontal run (see Horizontal Vent Table).
Two additional 90° bends (or the equivalent) are allowed in the hor izontal run. The horizontal run must be reduced 36” for each
90° bend. The horizontal run must be reduced 18” for each 45° bend.
The maximum vertical run is 43ft [13.1m].
Special Note: For each 45 degree bend installed in the horizontal run, the length of the horizont al run must be
reduced by 18" [46cm]. This does not apply if the 45 degree bends are installed on the vertical part of the vent
system.

If the length of the horizontal run is 10ft [3m], and two 45 degree bends are required, then the horizontal run length must be
reduced to 7ft to achieve proper venting. If 10ft of horizontal run is required in conjunction with the two 45 degree bends, then
the vertical run must be reduced appropriately. Please refer to Horizontal Vent Table for the relationship between horizontal
and vertical runs.
IMPORTANT: Always locate the fireplace in such a way that a minimum of offsets and/or horizontal runs are required.
1/4” vertical rise is required for every 12” horizontal run.

Vertical rise over 3ft horizontal run (MQRB5143 shown).
Note that the minimum height from the bottom of fireplace to the centre of vent is 37-1/2" [95 cm] for the MQRB4436, 51-1/2" [131 cm] for the MQRB5143 and 56-1/2” [144cm] for the MQRB6961. This dimension is for installations where venting exits immediately after its
rise from the unit (i.e. zero/minimum horizontal length). In installations where there is a horizontal run simply refer to the Horizontal Vent Table to determine the vertical location of the hole cutout required.
1. In a combustible wall cut a square hole that is 11” x 11” [28cmx28cm] (inside dimension) for the MQRB4436 / MQRB5143 or 13­3/4" x 13-3/4" [35cmx35cm] for the MQRB6961. In a non-combustible wall, cut an 8” [20cm] diameter hole for the MQRB4436 / MQRB5143 or an 11" [28cm] diameter hole for the MQRB6961. See below for detail.
2. Refer to Clearance to Combustibles information in this manual. Select the approximate vent length for your installation. Note that
precise measurements are not needed as the flex pipe can be expanded to twice its shipped length.
3. If installing the wall thimble, center it over the square cutout hole and secure both pieces on either sides of the wall. Route the flex vent pipe through the wall thimble. Before joining pipes, apply a bead of high temperature sealant (Millpac) to the end. Then attach the inner pipe to the vent termination with sealant, and secure it with the four screws provided. At this time make sure the spacer springs are attached to the inner flex pipe. Then attach the outer pipe by the same method.
4. Mount the vent termination and seal it to wall using caulking around the thimble to weather proof. After installing the vent termination, double check to make sure the pipe extends properly through wall thimble and into the termination. Before joining pipes to the fireplace flue, apply a bead of high temperature sealant (Millpac) to the end of it. Then attach the inner flue pipe to fireplace with sealant; and secure with the four screws provided. At this time verify that the spacer springs are attached properly to the inner pipe and then attach the outer pipe by the same method.
5. Support the horizontal pipe every 2ft [61cm] with metal strap bands. Verify that the fireplace is leveled, properly positioned, and secured to the framing.
6. Support vertical pipes with metal strapping to maintain a minimum of 1" [2.5cm] or greater clearance to combustibles.

Venting Straight Up Through Roof
An Attic Insulation Shield must be installed where the vent passes from a lower living space into an attic space where the chimney is not enclosed. It is designed to keep insulation materials away from the chimney (see Figure 5a).
When installing the Attic Insulation Shield where the chimney passes from a living space to an attic space, install the shield from below and nail in place using 1" spiral nails.
A fire stop must be installed on the bottom side of the joists when passing through a ceiling or floor. If an attic insulation shield is to be used, a fire stop is not required.
Using Flex Bends
Avoid cutting joists by offsetting the flex pipe (see Figure 5b).
When using 45° bends a bend support is required directly above the highest bend.
When installing a bend in a joist area a minimum of 4" clearance to combustible to the top of bend must be maintained, sides and bottom of pipe, a 1" clearance to combustibles must be maintained. If running horizontal through an area a 2" minimum clearance to the top of the horizontal pipe must be maintained.
Maximum vertical height of system should not exceed 43 feet.
Use roof support and rigid pipe at roof level. Flex pipe is not permitted within roof support.
When penetrating the roof a rigid galvanized pipe must be used. Attach flex pipe to the rigid pipe with high temperature sealant, secure with four screws assuring the flex pipe and rigid pipe are secured. Attach rigid pipe to termination with sealant and screw with 4 sheet metal screws (see Figure 5c). The Inner flex pipe must be secured with 4 screws which must penetrate both the flex pipe and inner section of termination.
Vertical termination clearance is 18" [45.7cm] above the roof, measured from highest point of exit on the roof line.
Support vertical pipes to maintain minimum of one inch or greater clearances to combustibles.
Roof Flashing
Ensure that you have the proper roof flashing by checking your roof pitch using a level and two rulers, or by using a roof pitch card (see Figure 5a).
Slide a Roof Flashing suitable to your roof slope over the vent. Place the edge of the flashing plate that will be on the higher part of the roof slope under the shingles. Both the sides and the lower edge lay on top of the shingles.
NOTE: At the top edge of the flashing plate, lift the shingles and nail the plate to the roof deck, then cement the shingles to the plate with a suitable waterproof mastic.
Ensure that the chimney is plumb. Square up the flashing plate and nail in place to the roof deck. Use 12 nails with neoprene washers or cover the heads with a suitable waterproof mastic. Wrap the storm collar around the vent above the flashing. Secure the ends together loosely with nut and bolt supplied. Slide the collar down the vent until it comes in contact with the flashing. Tighten the bolt and seal the Storm Collar to the vent with a suitable waterproof non-combustible mastic.
The flashing and storm collar should be painted to match the roof shingles. This will extend its life and improve the appearance. Clean, prime and paint with suitable painting products.
Vertical Venting in Cold Climates
In cold climate conditions where temperatures go below -10 degrees Celsius or 14 degrees Fahrenheit, we recommend that the chase be insulated and where the vent pipe enters into the attic space that the pipe be wrapped with an insulated Mylar sleeve. This will increase the temperature of the vent and help the appliance to vent properly in cold weather conditions. It is also important in vertical vented direct vent appliances that the appliance be operated daily during the winter months as this will help stop the termination from freezing up. We recommend using a thermostat (Not permitted for vented gas fireplaces installed in the U.S.A.) set at room temperature to allow the unit to cycle. For IPI models it may be necessary to set the appliance to Standing Pilot mode to maintain heat in the cavity. The purpose of this procedure is to prevent cold air from penetrating the chimney and then onto the living space. Therefore, when the internal temperature is slightly elevated the fireplace is able to freely exhaust its combustion and hence making it easier to startup.
