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.
Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at 
the beginning of this Installers Guide.
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 products 
used in the paint and logs.

Battery Backup
This appliance may be operated on battery power in the 
case of power outage. To operate the appliance turn 
both the battery backup switch (right) and the main 
on/off switch (left) to “on”. To conserve battery life, turn 
the battery backup switch “off” when not in use.
To replace the batteries, remove the screws holding 
the control panel in place and pull it out. Be careful not 
to disconnect any wires in the process.
NOTE: Remotes or other powered options will not 
function during a power outage.
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.
