Heater must be placed so no combustibles are within, or can swing within 36” of the front of theheater (e.g. drapes, doors)
When placed in a location where the floor to ceiling height is under 7 feet, the installation is considered an
alcove and must meet the following requirements:•
The alcove floor to ceiling height must be at least 58” tall•
The alcove must not be more than 45” deep before the ceiling returns to 7’•
The alcove must be at least 44” wide
The heater must not be placed so the vents below or above the door, along the sides of heater, or along theback of the heater can become blocked.
This heater may be placed in a bedroom. Please be aware of the large amount of heat this applianceproduces when determining a location.

Floor Protection Requirements•

When the stove is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl or other combustible material other than wood flooringor a high pressure laminate wood floor, the stove must be installed on a metal or wood protection panel
extending the full width and depth of the heater (Minimum 22-1/2” wide by 17-5/8” deep).

Optional Brass DoorWith the heater cool, open the door and remove it from the heater (page 16). Polish the brass surface with brasspolish to remove any tarnishing.

Yearly Service ProcedureWarning:

Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous
situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.

1

Check the pilot flame. It should engulf approximately 3/8” of the top of the thermocouple (see illustration below).
If it does not, contact your dealer for service.

2

Shut off gas to the heater by turning the gas control knob to “OFF” (see step A under “Starting the Pilot” on page19). Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Open the door (page 16) and remove the glass (page 14).

3

Remove the log set and embers (see page 15 - NOTE: the log set is fragile). If any log is cracked ordeteriorated, replace it when re-installing. Check the logs for sooting. If excessive sooting is found, the heater
will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.

4

Clean the burner pan (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:•

Check for burner for cracks, warps, or other damage.

•Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.

If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
Check the walls and ceiling of the firebox fordeterioration.

Check theburnerholes.

Check the gas control valve and all of the gas lines. If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact yourdealer for service. Clean the air channels and ducts.

7

To check the door seal, place a dollar bill along the door perimeter then close and latch the door. If the dollar billis held in place securely, the door seal is adequate. However, it the dollar bill slides out easily, you should adjust
the door. Contact your dealer to obtain directions on tightening the door seal.

8

Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top of thefirebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service. Monitor the blower
operation.

How this Heater Works
Warning This heater was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components
inside this heater are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service
technicians should service this heater.

When heated, the thermopile
generates electricity (a very small
amount, measured in "Millivolts").

P I L OTPILOT ADJ

The main burners
are switched on and
off using theelectricity generated
by the thermopile.
The ON/OFF switch,
remote control, or
thermostat control
the circuit to the mainburner.

MAIN BURNER

This heater uses a millivolt system to control its operation (a millivolt is a very small amount ofelectricity). The thermopile and thermocouple generate electricity when heated by the pilot flame.
This electricity is used to operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the gas valve will not turnon. That is why when starting the pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for thethermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The thermopile provides power for the
ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat (see the illustration below). Because the thermopile
generates the electricity needed to turn the heater on and off, this heater can be operated when the
power is out (although the blower will not run).

OFF

What Prevents Gas Buildup•This appliance utilizes a high-technology gas valve in conjunction with a pilot flame to ensure no gas
builds up inside the firebox.

•

The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot flame is lit. If the pilot flame goes out, thisthermocouple no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to automatically shut off all gas tothe heater, preventing the pilot or burner from spilling gas into the firebox.
