Step 11.  Before Lighting  the Fireplace

Before

 lighting the fi replace, be sure to do the following:

Remove all paperwork from underneath the fi replace.

Check that log retaining rubber bands have been 
removed!

Review safety warnings and cautions

• Read 

the 

Safety and Warning Information

 section at 

the beginning of this 

Owner’s Manual

.

Double-check for gas leaks

•  Before lighting the fi replace, double-check the unit for 

possible gas leaks.

Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for 

obstructions.

•  Before lighting the fi replace, double-check the unit for 

possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent 
terminations or the front grilles.

Double-check for faulty components

•  Any component that is found to be faulty 

MUST BE

replaced with an approved component. Tampering with 
the fi replace components is 

DANGEROUS

 and voids all 

warranties.

A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. 
When fi rst lighting the fi replace, it will take a few minutes 
for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the 
purging is complete, the fi replace will light and will operate 
normally.

Subsequent lightings of the fi replace will not require this 
purging of air from the gas supply lines,

 unless

the gas 

valve has been turned to the OFF position

, in which 

case the air would have to be purged.

NOTE:

 The fi replace should be run 3 to 4 hours on the initial 

start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove and 
clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fi replace 
for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the product 
used in the paint and logs.

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 fi replace’s initial burning.

Step 12.   Lighting the Appliance

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.
