during construction.

Operating your fireplace for the first time. When operating your new fireplace for the first time, some vapors may
be released due to the burning of curing compounds used in the manufacture of the appliance. They may causea slight odor and could cause the flames to be the full height of the firebox, or even slightly higher, for the first few
hours of operation. It is also possible that these vapors could set off any smoke detection alarms in the immediate
vicinity. These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We recommend opening a window to vent the room.
After a few hours use, the vapors will have disappeared and the flames will be at their normal height.

Use only new black iron or steel pipes or copper
tubing if acceptable—check local codes. Note thatin USA, copper tubing must be internally tinned forprotection against sulfur compounds.
Ensure there is a pipe union (or flare fitting wherepermissible) ahead of the burner module for futureservicing. Unions in gas lines should be of groundjoint type.
The gas supply line must be sized and installed
to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the
maximum demand of the appliance without undue
loss of pressure.
Sealant used must be resistant to the action of allgas constituents including LP gas. Sealant should
be applied lightly to male threads to ensure excesssealant does not enter gas lines.
The supply line should include a manual shut-off
valve to allow the appliance to be disconnected forservicing.
Pressure test the supply line for leaks.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing ofthat system at test pressures in excess of 1/2
psig (3.5kPa).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to orless than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
Failure to either disconnect or isolate the applianceduring pressure testing may result in regulator or
valve damage. Consult your dealer in this case.
The minimum supply pressure is given inSpecifications section of this manual.
All piping and connections must be tested for leaks
after installation or servicing. All leaks must be
corrected immediately.
When testing for leaks:• Make sure that the appliance is turned off.
• Open the manual shut-off valve.
• Test for leaks by applying a liquid detergent
or soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming
indicate a gas leak. Never use an open flame
to check for leaks.

Operation Checks
Final Checks
Check ignition, pilot stability, burner flames, and the fullrange of movement of the flame adjustment knob. Seeowner’s lighting instructions further on in this manual
for full details.

Aeration adjustment
As described in manual, burner aeration is adjustable.
For the vast majority of installations, no adjustment
will be necessary. However, in a very few instances,
performance may be improved by adjusting theaeration by sliding the shutter page 10. Evaluate
the aeration only after the unit has warmed up –approximately 15 minutes.
The shutter setting is very sensitive. Small adjustments
can make a substantial difference to the flames
Increasing aeration will cause the flame to appear moretransparent and blue making the ceramic fuel effects
glow more.
Decreasing aeration will cause the flames to appear
more yellow or orange making the fuel effects glow
less. Too little aeration may result in black carbon
forming and dropping into the firebox.

Check venting efficiency
A check for correct venting of combustion products
must be made before the installed appliance is left withthe customer. You will need a mirror for this check.
The mirror must be cold and dry for the check so, keep
in a cool place such as a freezer compartment while
the fire is warming up.
1. Open the gas valve.
2. Light the appliance and set to high heat. Leave theappliance on for five minutes.
3. Make sure that the mirror is cold and dry. Place themirror face downwards touching the bottom front of
the black cross member and angled slightly upwards
so that the mirror face can be seen.
4. The mirror face should remain clear for at least 5
seconds.
5. If condensation appears over the mirror face within
5 seconds, the venting is not functioning properly.
Don’t allow the appliance to be used until the
problem is cured.

Operating YourFire
The operating instructions are also on a chained plate
inside the control access door.
For your safety this appliance is fitted with a flame
supervision device which will shut off the gas supply
if, for any reason, the pilot flames go out. This device
incorporates a fixed probe, which senses the heatfrom the pilot flame. If the probe is cool, the device will
prevent any gas flow unless the burner control knob is
kept pushed in at the PILOT position. See full lighting
instructions on next page.

ChecksPerformance of LPG appliances may beaffected by the quality of commercial gas
supplied in your area.
A periodic check of the pilot and burner flames should
be made. Check after the fire has been on for at least
30 minutes. The pilot flame must cover the tip of thethermocouple probe. The main burner flame pattern
will vary from appliance to appliance depending on thetype of installation and climatic conditions—see figures
