Burn-in Period
Operation of millivolt and electronic gas con trol systems are different. Before lighting and operating your appliance determine if you have a millivolt or electronic appliance. Familiarize yourself with the gas control valve that your appliance uses. Refer to to the gas control valve.
Millivolt Appliances - Appliances with
Millivolt systems will be fitted with the gas control valve shown in Figure 3.
Figure 1 for access
-
During the first few fires of this appliance there will be some odor due to the curing of the paint and burning off of lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
Depending on your use, the burn-in period may take a few hours or a few days.
KEEP YOUR HOUSE WELL VENTILATED DURING THE CURING PROCESS. THE ODOR AND HAZE EMITTED DURING THE CURING PROCESS CAN BE QUITE NOTICEABLE AND MAY SET OFF A SMOKE DETECTOR.
If an optional blower is installed, Do Not turn it on during the Burn-In period.
A white film may develop on the glass front during the first few fires as part of the curing process. The glass should be kept clean during the first two weeks of use to prevent the film from baking on (making it very difficult to remove). See
Cleaning Glass on Page 6.

MAINTENANCE (See Maintenance Schedule, Page 22)
Refer to the maintenance schedule for maintenance tasks, procedures, periodicity and by whom they should be performed. Always verify proper opera­tion of the appliance after servicing.
WARNING: Turn off gas and elec­trical power to the fireplace and allow it to cool before cleaning or servicing the appliance.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection while doing required maintenance.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
S'assurer que l'appareil fonctionne adé­quatement une fois l'entretien terminé.
Before re-lighting the fireplace, refer to the lighting instructions in this manual. Instruc­tions are also found on pull-out panels located below the glass door in the control compartment.
Inspect Venting System
The appliance and venting system should be thoroughly inspected before initial use and at least annually by a qualified service techni­cian (inspection should include ensuring that exhaust or intake passages are unobstructed and vent components are properly assembled and not damaged).
If the venting system is disassembled for any reason, a qualified service technician should follow vent installation instructions for proper reassembly and proper sealing of the venting system components. However, more frequent periodic inspections and cleanings should be performed by the homeowner.
Cleaning Glass
(see Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal and Installation on Page 7 )
Note: Clean glass after first two weeks of opera- tion (after Burn-In period is over) and then only when necessary and when the fireplace is cool. Wipe surface with clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow with dry, soft towel as desired. Take care not to scratch the glass surface.
The viewing glass should be cleaned periodi­cally to remove any build-up caused from the following:
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive clean­ers on glass. Never clean the glass when it is hot.
• During start-up, it is normal for condensa­tion to form on the inside of the glass (this condensation and fog will usually disappear in a few minutes). The moisture can cause lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface.
• Initial curing of the high temperature paint and burning off of lubricants used in the manufacturing process may result in a film on the glass.
• A white coating may form on the glass as a result of impurities and minerals in the fuel.
It is recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three times during each heating season, depending on the circumstances present. The following cleaning solutions are approved for use to clean glass:
• Non-ammonia based household cleaner
• 50%-50% mix of white vinegar and water
• Gas fireplace/stove glass cleaner
Inspect Glass Gasket - Visually inspect the gasket on the backside of the glass enclosure panels. The gasket surface must be clean, free of irregularities and seated firmly.
Clean Logs And Burner
Carefully remove the logs (use care when han dling the fiber logs, as they become quite fragile after curing). Vacuum out any foreign matter (lint, carbon, etc). on the burner. Ensure the burner ports are “open.” Remove any carbon deposits from the under side of the logs using a vacuum cleaner, or a soft bristled brush (i.e. paint brush).
Note: Improper positioning of logs can create carbon build-up and will alter the performance of the appliance.
Replacing Logs -
If the logs become damaged by accident or improper handling and need replacement, use only the proper replacement logs from manufacturer (see Pages 25 and 26 for order- ing information).
Re-Install Embers and Logs - Carefully follow placement instructions on Pages 8 thru 11. All logs should fit onto corresponding pins and/or log stoppers. This will ensure a proper flame and safe combustion.
Inspect Wiring Refer to wiring diagrams on Page 14
.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to discon­nection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
ATTENTION: Au moment de l'entretien des commandes, étiquetez tous les fils avant de les débrancher. Des erreurs de cáblage peuvent entraîner un fonc­tionnement inadéquat et dangereux.
