¥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.

The pilot flame should impinge the top 3/8Ó (10 mm)

of the thermopile. If it does not, you may need to

turn the pilot up.

!If the air shutter is in its fully open position, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the heater

and contact your dealer for a remedy.

7Ensure the heater establishes a draft. If the heater unexpectedly shuts off 5 to 25 minutes after

starting, the heater may not be drafting. The cause: negative pressure. Typically, re-starting the

heater five minutes after the shutoff will overcome the negative pressure and establish a draft.

However, if this does not work, you may wish to open a door or window near the heater. This will

allow in enough air in to overcome any negative pressure. Once drafting is initiated, the heater will

work properly without having to re-start the heater or allow in outside air. This is due to the heat

generated by the pilot.

Possible Causes of Negative Pressure:

¥ Exhaust fans (Jenn-Aire type fans in kitchens, bathroom fans)

¥ Vent termination located near a down draft or against prevailing winds

¥ Internal home pressure characteristics (multiple fireplaces, etc...)

8Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 10" tall.

Check the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does

not work correctly, contact your dealer for a remedy.

9Give this manual to the home owner and fully explain the operation of this heater.

PAGE 20 MAINTAINING YOUR HEATER

Maintaining Your Stove's Appearance

!The optional brass door may be cleaned with a non-abrasive polish (such as Flitz¨). The brass trim

is anodized and should not be polished.

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.

1Check 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 for service.

2Shut off gas to the heater by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the

Pilot" on page 17). Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Remove the door (see step 1 on page 14).

3Remove the logs, twigs and coals (see page 14 - 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.

4Clean 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 service.

Check the burner

holes and slots.

Make sure the

burner pan seals

against the floor

of the firebox.

Check the walls and

ceiling of the firebox

for deterioration.

Burner Pan

Before Disassembly: Check the pilot flame. It should

impinge the top 3/8Ó of the thermopile and engulf the

thermocouple.

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

the door using high-temperature gasket cement. If the glass is damaged, replace it. Replace the

door. Make sure the gasket forms a seal.

6Inspect 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.

7Start 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.

8Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or

deterioration is found near the vent termination.

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.

remote control, or

thermostat control

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.

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.

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 Flame

The pilot flame is a time-proven

component that eliminates the possibility

of gas buildup inside the firebox.

Thermocouple

The thermocouple generates a small

amount of electricity. If the pilot flame

goes out, the gas valve automatically

shuts off all gas.

External Shut Off Valve

This valve is placed on the gas line

to shut off gas to the appliance

during maintenance procedures.

Why Nothing Should Be Placed Against the Heater

Your heater has a grill on the sides and top that must not be blocked. The area around the

control cover 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.
