INSTALLATION For PROPANE Units and Units Equipped with DC Spark Boxes* *For installation of the DC Spark Box refer to the LP Conversion instructions in this manual.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Before operating this appliance, proceed through the following check list. 1) Read and understand these Instructions before operating this appliance. 2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and enclosed to prevent possible shock. 3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks. 4) Make sure the glass door is in place. Never operate the appliance with the door glass removed. 5) Verify that all venting and the cap is unobstructed. 6) Verify log placement.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS sounds. You should also be aware that as there are temperature changes within the unit these sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal for steel fireboxes. Blower Thermodisc: When this thermally activated switch turns ON it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the switch contacts closing and is normal. Pilot Flame: While the pilot flame is on it can make a very slight "whisper" sound.
GENERAL VENT MAINTENANCE Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect as follows: Top View of pilot flame Incorrect flame pattern will have small, probably yellow flames, not coming into proper contact with the rear of the burner or thermopile. 1) Check the Venting System for corrosion in areas that are exposed to the elements. These will appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme cases, holes. These components should be replaced immediately.
MAINTENANCE Bay Glass Removal TO REMOVE FAN: 1) Remove the door from the unit and place on a soft surface to prevent scratching. 1) Turn the unit off and allow it to cool to room temperature. 2) Remove the nuts holding the glass retainers in place. 2) Unplug or disconnect power source to stove. 3) Remove the glass retainers (sides, top and bottom). 3) Remove glass front (see section "Standard Flush Door.") 4) Replace the glass. The glass must have gasketing around it.
MAINTENANCE VALVE REPLACEMENT 11) Push the valve assembly to the left and lift the entrire assembly out. 1) Shut off the gas supply. 5) Reconnect the pilot tube nut with a 7/16" wrench. 6) Re-attach the valve mounting bracket to the valve tray. 2) Remove the louvers (and bay door if it is on). 3) Open the flush door and remove the door. 4) Remove the logs and brick panels. 5) Remove the grate by loosening the two screws and sliding the grate out.
