Alpine TR42 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) The first fire in your fireplace will help cure the painted
surfaces. To ensure that the paint is properly cured, it is
recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least
four (4) hours the first time you use it with the fan on.
When first operated, the unit will release an odor caused
by the curing of the paint and other components. Smoke
detectors may go off during this initial break-in period.
Open windows or doors in the area of the fireplace to
allow for ventilation during the break-in period.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: When the fireplace is cold and the appliance is
first lit, it may cause condensation and fog the glass. This
condensation is normal and will disappear in a few min-
utes as the glass heats up.
2) Read and understand these instructions completely be-
fore attempting to operate this appliance.
3) Be sure that all items in this installation portion of this
manual have been properly completed in compliance to
local codes and this manual.
LIGHTING PROCEDURE
1) Turn burner OFF using the “ON/OFF” switch or by
turning the thermostat or remote control to the “OFF”
position.
2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points to “OFF”
position and allow 5 minutes for any gas in the
combustion chamber to escape.
3) Turn the gas control knob counterclockwise so the
indicator points to the “PILOT” position. Depress the
gas control knob fully. Depress the igniter button several
times until the pilot lights. After approximately one
minute, release the gas control knob. The pilot flame
should continue to burn. If the pilot does not remain lit,
repeat operation allowing a longer period before
releasing gas control knob.
4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob further
counterclockwise to the “ON” position.
5) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote control to turn
on the unit.
6) Rotate the flame height regulator to adjust the flame
height higher or lower.
1) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote control to
turn off the main burner.
2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the “OFF”
position
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
FIREPLACE MAINTENANCE
1) Before performing any service on the appliance,
ensure the gas has been completely shut off, the unit
cooled, and the electricity shut off to the appliance.
2) The burner and valve control compartments must be
cleaned annually. A vacuum with a brush attachment
works well. The logs should be cleaned gently with a
soft bristle brush. The logs are fragile and are easily
damaged.
3) Clean the appliance with a damp cloth. Never use
abrasive cleaners. The glass should be cleaned with a
gas fireplace glass cleaner. The glass will slowly build
a thin white film on the inside. This film is normal
and can be removed using a fireplace glass cleaner
available at your local dealer.
4) The fireplace is finished with a high temperature paint.
If your fireplace needs to be repainted or touched up,
see your local dealer for StoveBright Paint.
5) The appliance and the venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually, by a
qualified field technician. The vent must be inspected
to ensure that the flow of combustion air and
ventilation air is not obstructed.
6) 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 control which may have
been under water.
7) If the venting system is disassembled for any reason it
must be properly resealed as per the instructions in the
venting section of this manual. Never operate the
appliance if the venting system is not properly sealed.
8) The blower system requires annual lubrication. The
blower is marked with lubrication points. Use a good
quality light machine oil for lubrication. Apply three
drops per port annually.
GOLD PLATED or STAINLESS TRIMS
The gold plate or stainless trims on the fireplace require
little maintenance. If the pieces get fingerprints or dust
build-up, you should use a damp cloth only for cleaning.
DO NOT use cleaners of any type on the stainless or
gold. Be sure to clean any fingerprints off of the unit BE-
FORE turning the fireplace on.
