Fireplace Design:
Many of the components within this fireplace are designed specifically for safety
purposes. It is therefore imperative that only certified gas service technicians should
service this fireplace.
service this fireplace.
Main Burner Operation:
A millivolt system controls the operation of this fireplace. 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 turn on. That
is why when starting the pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for
the thermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The thermopile provides
power for the ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat. Because the thermopile
generates the electricity needed to turn the fireplace on and off, this fireplace can be
operated when the power is out (although the blower will not run).

Gas Buildup Prevention Feature:
This appliance’s utilization of a high-technology gas valve in conjunction with a
pilot flame ensures that no gas builds up inside the firebox.
The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot flame is lit. If the pilot
flames goes out, this thermocouple no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve
to automatically shut off all gas to the heater, preventing the pilot from spilling gas into
the firebox.
