Step 12. Lighting the Appliance
STANDING PILOT IGNITION
A. This appliance (standing pilot version) has a pilot
that must be lighted by hand. When lighting the
pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appli-
ance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the
floor because some gas is heavier than air and
will settle to the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any
phone in your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neigh-
bor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instruc-
tions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas
control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not
push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call
a qualified service technician. Force or attempt-
ed repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the appliance and to replace
any part of the control system and any gas con-
trol which has been under water.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING
PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
LOSS OF LIFE.
1. To access controls, open the lower grille.
2. Turn the gas control valve knob to the OFF position. To do this, you
must turn the knob clockwise
to the PILOT position, and then
press in and continue turning clockwise
to the OFF position.
NOTE: Knob cannot be turned from “PILOT” to “OFF” unless knob is
pushed in slightly. Do not force.
3. WAIT AT LEAST FIVE (5) MINUTES TO CLEAR OUT ANY GAS. If
you have unsuccessfully tried to light the fireplace, wait longer, espe-
cially if you are using LP gas. Then smell for gas, including near the
floor. If you then smell gas, STOP! Follow "B" in the safety informa-
tion on previous page. If you don't smell gas, go to the next step.
4. The pilot should not require accessing for lighting
purposes. The pilot is located inside the combustion
chamber. If it is necessary to access the pilot, re-
move the trim door and glass door.

6. To light the pilot press the control knob and then press the red or black
piezo button once every second. The piezo makes a clicking sound. It
may be necessary to repeat this step. If the pilot does not light after
10 seconds, go back to step 2. The control knob should be held down
for a MINUTE after pilot ignition.
• If the control knob does not pop out when released, STOP! Shut off
the gas supply to the fireplace control valve, and IMMEDIATELY call
your service technician or gas supplier.
• If the pilot will not stay lit after two tries, turn the control knob to the
“OFF” position and call your service technician or gas supplier.

When you light your fireplace, you may notice:
This gas appliance produces heat which does have an associ-
ated odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may
require the initial 3-4 hour continuous burn on high followed by
a second burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from
paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the
appliance for gas leaks, you know the vent system is
unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components.
Now you’re ready to light the appliance.

After the Installation
LEAVE THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL WITH THE
APPLIANCE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Noise caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats
up and cools down, similar to the sound produced by a furnace
or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of your fireplace.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the fireplace’s initial burning.
Additionally, for the first few minutes after each lighting, vapor
may condense and fog the glass and flames may be blue.
After a few minutes this moisture will disappear and within
15-30 minutes the flames should become yellow.
