CAUTION: Lighting the Modena for the first time
and adjustments to the unit should be performed by
qualified service personnel.
This appliance is designed only for use with the type(s) of
fuel gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not
convertible for use with other gases, unless a certified kit is
used.
Cet appareil doit être atilisé uniquement avec les types de
gas indiqués sur la plaque signalétique. Ne pas l’utiliser
avec d’autres gas sauf si un kited conversion certifié est
installé. )

ARNING
When lit for the first time, the Modena will emit some
smoke and fumes. This is normal “off-gassing” of the
paints and oils used in the manufacturing and assembly of
the unit. Open windows to vent the room if necessary. The
off-gassing and fumes will subside after the first 10 to 20
minutes of operation.

DORS AND
I
MPURITIES
A heater of this type may produce other odors during heater
operation due to impurities that may exist in the immediate
area. Sources of impurities can be cleaning solvents, paint
solvents, cigarettes, candles, smoke, pet hair, dust,
adhesives, new carpet, and/or textiles. Such odors usually
dissipate. However, opening a window or otherwise
providing additional ventilation to the area can alleviate the
condition quickly. If any odor persists, remove potential
sources, or contact your dealer or an authorized service
technician.

IGHT
The Modena has a piezoelectric spark igniter (the black
push button located next to the gas control valve behind the
door), which ignites the pilot light by means of a spark at
the pilot light assembly.

Never attempt to light the pilot or main burner by hand with
a match or lighter. If, after repeated attempts, the pilot light
fails to light using the piezoelectric igniter, discontinue
operation; turn off the gas at the gas control valve, and
immediately contact qualified service personnel for
assistance.

IGHTING
Prepare for the lighting procedure by adjusting the
thermostat (if equipped) to its lowest setting or OFF
position. If the gas control knob is not in the OFF position,
turn the knob fully clockwise to OFF. Locate the variable
output control knob and turn it fully clockwise to the
highest setting.
Prior to lighting the unit for the first time, wait 5 minutes to
allow any residual gas within the unit to dissipate. Smell all
around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to
the floor because some gases (LP) are heavier than air and
will settle on the floor. If you do not smell gas after this
five-minute period, proceed with the lighting procedure. If
you do smell gas, DO NOT proceed with the lighting
procedure. Instead,
immediately refer to the What to Do
If You Smell Gas Warning, on the cover of this manual.
NOTE: The valve control has an interlock device. After
shutting off all gas flow, the pilot burner cannot be relit
until the thermocouple has cooled, releasing the
electromagnet (approx. 60 seconds). The gas control
knob is designed to operate by hand. Do not use any
tools during this operation. Damaged knobs may result
in serious injury.

DJUSTMENTS
Once the Modena is set in place, connected and assembled
as described in the “Clearances To Combustibles”,
“Venting Components & Configurations,” “Electrical
Connections”, and “Gas Supply and Connections” sections
of this manual, the unit is almost ready to light for the first
time. The manufacturer tests each unit prior to shipment, so
ignition should take place without failure. However, a
number of small adjustments may be necessary to
compensate for variations in gas pressure, altitude, and
other factors particular to each installation.

ONTROL
The gas control valve is equipped with a variable output
control. This control varies the rate of heat produced by the
unit by varying the gas pressure to the TEK Burner. A
combination of heat output and the thermostat setting affect
the length of the burn cycle. If your stove cycles on and off
too often, first try reducing the burn cycle by turning the
HI/LOW knob, on the control valve, to a lower setting.
Using the variable output control, the heat output of the unit
can be reduced for mild fall and spring months, or
maximized for the colder winter months. This adjustment
can be made by the homeowner as necessary by turning the
variable output control knob to “HI”, “LO” or any setting in
between.

NOTE:
The gas control knobs and the piezo igniter are
located behind the control valve access door, under the
front of the unit.
1.
STOP! Read the What To Do If You Smell Gas!
Warning (on the cover of this manual). Ensure the
front door is closed, and the lock screws are in
place.
2.
Set the on/off/remote switch or thermostat to the
“OFF” position.
3.
Push in and turn the gas control knob clockwise to
“OFF”.
(If not previously lit, the knob should be in this
position.)
4.
Wait (5) five minutes to clear out any gas. If you then
smell gas, STOP!
Smell all around the appliance area
for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some
