Clearance to Combustible Materials
A combustible material is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet rock, wallpaper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and also include materials that may be behind non-combust bles.
If you are unsure of the combustible nature of a material, consult your local fire officials. "Fire Resis Lant" materials are considered combustible: they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. "Fire-rated" sheet rock is also considered combustible.
The following clearances and hoarts specifications are the minimum requirements for installation into a masonry or factory built fireplace. Mantel and wall clearances will vary, depending upon the fireplace facing and riser height, if needed. Use the tables and illustrations in figs. 4 and 5 to determine the minimum clearances for your installation.
Hearth Requirements
Hearth protection in front of the GI 550 DV must be composed of any noncombustible material extending a minimum 36" wide. Hearth protection must extend at least 16" forward of the firebox glass panel with the following exception:
Cast Iron surrounds without Flinth: the hearth protection must extend 36" x 18".

- The remaining space around the liner in a masonry or zero-clearance flue CANNOT be used to vent any other appliance.
- Flexible liner components may not be exposed in any living space.
- Installation of any components not manufactured or approved by Jotul or failure to meet all clearance requirements will void all warranties and could result in property damage, bodily injury, or serious fire.
- Never modify any venting component, or use any damaged venting product.
- THE GAS APPLIANCE AND VENT SYSTEM MUST BE VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING, AND NEVER ATTACHED TO A CHIMNEY SERVING ANOTHER SOLID FUEL OR GAS-BURNING APPLIANCE.
- Use vent component supplied by one of the vent manufacturers listed on page 5 of this manual. Do not mix components from different manufacturers in a single installation.
Masonry Fireplaces
A solid-fuel fireplace chimney must be clean and in good working order. It must be constructed of no-combustible materials. Chimney clean-outs must fit properly.
When installing the Universal GI 550 DV gas insert into a masonry fireplace, the insert will be vented through dual 3" flexible gas aluminum liners.
This co-linear installation includes a pair of 3" flex ducts that run from the insert completely through the existing chimney to the termination cap.
One liner is attached to the Exhaust Outlet on the back of the unit and will carry the exhaust gases to the outside of the house. This exhaust liner must be directly connected to the unit and run the full length of the chimney. See fig. 6.
The other 3" liner will be attached to the Air Intake Collar on the back of the unit to provide fresh air for combustion. The Intake Collar is labeled for easy identification. The liner must extend a minimum of 6' off the back of the unit and extend through the camper area of the fireplace into the tile liner of the chimney. This liner can also extend the full length of the chimney and connect to the termination cap.
IMPORTANT
If the intake flex does not extend the full length of the chimney, forming a direct connection between the unit and the termination cap. A METAL BLOCK OFF PLATE MUST BE INSTALLED to seal the air intake from room air. Normally this sealing plate will be installed within the existing fireplace damper area. See fig. 6. The sealing plate is not necessary if a direct connection is made between the cap and the fireplace. WARNING! Avoid cross venting the insert. Before installation, label both ends of the exhaust flex pipe to ensure connection to the appropriate collars on the fireplace unit and vent termination cap.
Cutting of any sheet metal parts on a solid-fuel f replace is prohibited.
Smoke selves, shields, and baffles may be removed if attached with mechanical fasteners.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
THE USE OF AN EXISTING CHIMNEY AS AN AIR INTAKE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE ANSI Z21.88-1999-CSA 2.33-M99 TEST METHODS AND RESULTING ITS/WHI PRODUCT CERTIFICATION. THE CODE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION MUST BE CONSULTED PRIOR TO PROCEEDING WITH THIS INSTALLATION METHOD.
Masonry Fireplace Vent Installation
- Measure height of the chimney to fireplace operating. Determine if both the intake and exhaust will be extended to the top of the chimney.
- Use tin ships to cut the appropriate lengths of flex for both the intake and exhaust.
- Attach the appropriate ends of the flex to the chimney termination kit.
- Drop the liners down the chimney from the top and rest the termination kit atop the chimney.
- Seal the chimney termination kit to the top of the chimney flue with high temperature sealant.
- Secure the appropriate DIRECT VENT CAP to the termination k't
- Inside the fireplace, fully extend the flex liner pipe and cut off the excess so that the liners hang approximately 15" from the floor of the fireplace.
- If the Air Intake pipe will not be attached to the chimney termination kit: (See IMPORTANT NOTICE on this below.)
a. It will be necessary to install: a minimum length of 6 fl. flex pipe up into the flue.
b. A metal damper block off plate must be constructed and installed in the fire place damper area to completely seal off the flue from the room. Cut holes in the plate for both the intake and exhaust flex pipes.
c. A direct vent cap is required to bring fresh air into the chimney flue and Air Intake flex pipe.
a. Attach the Fireplace Conversion Notice to the back of the fireplace if appropriate.
CANADA REQUIREMENT: Both the intake and the Exhaust liners must extend the full length of the chimney and be securely connected to both the unit and the termination kit.
If the fireplace has been modified to accommodate it stallation, use anchors or masonry nails to attach the metal Fireplace Conversion Notice Plate supplied with this unit to the back wall of the masonry fireplace firebox where it will be readily seen should the insert be removed.

WARNING:
FAILURE TO POSITION THE PARTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS DIAGRAM OR FAILURE TO USE ONLY PARTS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED WITH THIS APPLIANCE MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
Prefabricated Fireplaces
A prefabricated fireplace chimney must be clean and in good working order. It must be constructed of noncombustible materials. Chimney clean-outs must fit properly.
A factory-built prefabricated fireplace will require a few modifications before installation of the fireplace insert.
Modification Steps:
- Remove any fuel grate or other components attached to the firebox. On most models the fire grate is attached to the unit with brackets which should be cut or pried off.
- Remove the damper assembly. This includes the damper blade, handle and any linkage. Two 3" liners must be able to pass through the damper area.
- Remove any fire screen or door assembly. This is usually done by removing a support rod on the inside of the fireplace frame. Smoke shelves, shields, and baffles can be removed if attached with mechanical fasteners.
- If there is a metal ash lip, it too should be removed to allow the unit to sit flat in the fireplace. Be sure to reinstall any screws removed.
IMPORTANT:
BEFORE STARTING THIS INSTALLATION, MAKE SURE THAT A GAS LINE CAN BE INSTALLED OR IS INSTALLED TO THE FIREBOX. THIS SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED OR LICENSED PLUMBER OR GAS FITTER.
The GI 550 DV gas insert is specifically designed to be vented using a co-linear system.
Installation includes a pair of 3" flex ducts that run from the insert completely through the existing chimney to the termination cap. See Figure 7, page 12.
One liner is attached to the exhaust port on the back of the unit and will carry the exhaust gases to the outside of the house. This exhaust liner must be directly connected to the unit and run the full length of the ch mney.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
THE USE OF AN EXISTING CHIMNEY AS AN AIR INTAKE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE ANSI Z21.88-1999-CSA 2.33-Mgg TEST METHODS AND RESULTING ITS/WHI PRODUCT CERTIFICATION. THE CODE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION MUST BE CONSULTED PRIOR TO PROCEEDING WITH THIS INSTALLATION METHOD.
The other 3" liner will be attached to the intake port on the back of the unit and will provide fresh air for combustion to the unit. This liner must extend a minimum of 6 ft. off the back of the unit and extend through the damper area of the fireplace and into the first section of pipe. This liner can also extend the full length of the chimney and connect to the termination cap. See figure 7.
IMPORTANT:
If the intake flex does not extend the full length of the chimney and connect to the unit and the termination cap - THEN A METAL BLOCK OFF PLATE MUST BE CONSTRUCTED AND INSTALLED ABOVE THE UNIT PRIOR TO THE END OF THE INTAKE FLEX (normally at the damper area).
Cutting of any sheet metal parts on a solid-fuel fireplace is prohibited.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole 1.5" diameter or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship-like manner. This access hole must be plugged with noncombustible insulation after the gas supply line has been installed.
CANADA REQUIREMENT: Both the Intake and the Exhaust liners must extend the full length of the chimney and be securely connected to both the unit and the termination kit.
If the fireplace has been modified to accommodate installation, use anchors or masonry nails to attach the metal Fireplace Conversion Notice Plate supplied with this unit to the back wall of the masonry fireplace firebox where it will be readily seen should the insert be removed.
The minimum vent height above the roof or adjacent walls is specified by major building codes. A general guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule below.

Figure 7. Factory-built fireplace vent configuration with direct connection to chimney termination cap as required in Canada.
Prefabricated Fireplace Vent Installation
- Measure height of the chimney to fireplace opening. Determine if both the intake and exhaust will be extended to the top of the chimney
- Cut the appropriate lengths of flex for both the intake and exhaust.
- If the Intake flex will be attached to the chimney lernination kit: Attach the appropriate ends of the flex to the chimney lernination kit, Label the end of the exhaust pipe
- Drop the liners down the chimney from the top and rest the termination kit atop the chimney.
- Seal the chimney termination kit to the top of the chimney pipe with high temperature sealant.
- Secure the appropriate DIRECT VENT CAP to the termination kit.
- Inside the fireplace, fully extend the flex and cut off the excess flex so that the liners hang approximately 15" from the floor of the fireplace.
- If the intake flex is NOT attached to the chimney termination kit: See NOTICE on page 12.
A. It is necessary to install a minimum 6 foot length of flex pipe into the flue for the intake air.
B. A METAL damper block off plate must be constructed and installed in the damper area to completely seal off the flue from the room. Cut holes for both the intake and exhaust liners in the block off plate.
C. A direct vent cap is still required to allow fresh air into the chimney flue and ultimately into the intake flex and insert.
D. Attach the Fireplace Conversion Notice to the back of the fireplace if appropriate.
- Surround panels must not block or seal any ventilation openings on the prefabricated fireplace.

Figure 8. Remove the Flue Collar tool. Also, remove the Upper Deflector if a Cost Iron surround is to be installed.
Vent Connection
The Vent Collar Plate, located on top of the cabinet, is removable to ease connection of the vent liners in those cases where access within, the fireplace is restricted. Whether you are venting through a Maschay chimney or a prefabricated chimney, the flex liner is connected to the insert in the same way. Use the following procedure.
Wear Safety Gloves!
- Disengage the Vent Collar tool from the top of the fireplace cained by loosening the two retainer screws, then sliding the tool over and up as in fig. 8.
- Remove the retainer screw that attaches the Collar Plate to the cabinet top and slide the plate back off of the cabinet. Secure the flex lines to the appropriate collars on the Vent Collar Plate using sheet metal screws or hose clamps, as shown in fig. 9. Confirm that the liners are not cross-vented.
- Position the insert, without surround panels, halfway inside the fireplace and engage the Vent Collar Plate within the rails on the cabinet top enough to get it started. Engage one end of the tool over the tabs on the blue collar plate as in fig. 9. Use a striking motion to hammer the collar plate fully forward and secure it to the cabinet flange using the sheet metal screw previously removed.
- Store the Vent Adaptor tool beside the insert cabinet inside the fireplace for future use when servicing the unit.

Figure 9. Use the tool to pull the collar plate into place.
Final Positioning
1. Blower Power Cord:
Extend the blower power cord out forward of the fireplace, routing it to the nearest power source.
2. Level and Plumb the Cabinet:
With the fireplace cabinet in its final position, confirm that it is level and plumb.
Adjust the leg levelers at each corner as appropriate to fine-tune the level up to 2/2". If a greater height increase is required, the brackets can be lowered in 1/2" increments to raise the cabinet up to a maximum 21/2".
3. Insert Height Adjustment
- Plinth: If a Cast Iron or Wide Surround is being installed with the a plinth option, adjust the leg leveler brackets to raise the unit 2". - Scan 70i Fronts: Adjust the leg brackets 1" or 2", depending upon which size riser trim is being used.
NOTE: THE APPROPRIATE MANTEL CLEARANCES MUST BE MAINTAINED AS SPECIFIED ON PAGE 9. IF RAISING THE INSERT MORE THAN 1/2", INSTALL NONCOMBUSTIBLE SUPPORT MATERIALS, SUCH AS TILE OR PAVERS, UNDER THE CENTER OF THE CABINET.
4. Extend the Surround Bracket Tabs:
Use pliers to bend back the Surround Bracket Tabs, located on the forward edge of each cabinet side, as shown in fig. 10.
- Tabs 1 and 2 bend inboard - for use with all cast iron surrounds, steel door facings, and the Scan 701 facing. - Tabs 3 and 4 bend outboard - for use with optional Wide 50-round Panels only.

Connecting the Gas Supply
Gas Supply Requirements
ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL CODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUST COMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR CAN-B149.
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED MASTER OR JOURNEYMAN PLUMBER OR GAS-FITTER WHEN INSTALLED IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
Shut-off Valve
All codes require a gas Shut-off valve (gas cock) and union to be installed in the supply line and in the same room as the appliance. This allows for the disconnection of the fireplace for servicing and maintenance. See Fig. 11.
A T-HANDLE GAS SHUT-OFF VALVE IS REQUIRED IN MASSACHUSETTS IN COMPLIANCE WITH CODE 248CMR.
The fireplace and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures lowe. than 1/2 psig, isolate the gas supply by closing the manual shut-off valve.
Control Valve Connection
As mounted, the gas supply line connection is made to the upper end of the valve. The gas supply line should be a minimum 3/8" diameter, or the appropriate size to provide sufficient gas pressure to the valve regardless of the input setting.
The use of flexible gas appliance connectors is acceptable in many areas in the U.S. In Canada, methods vary depending on local code. If local codes permit, use flexible gas line for ease of installation and service. For those locales where flexible gas lines are not permitted, use the 3/8" Iron fitting to make the connection at the top side of the Control Valve. See fig. 11.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and sealing compounds (for propane units, be sure to use compounds that are propane resistant). Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a 50/50 soapy water solution or a gas detector. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
Soap Solution Leak Test
• Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dish soap.
- Light appliance- see lighting instructions on page 23 of this manual or on the fireplace's rating plate.
- Brush or spray all joints and connections with the soapy water solution.
- If bubbles appear at any connection or seam or a gas odor is detected, immediately turn gas control knob to the OFF position.
Tighten or 'econnect the leaking joint and retest for any gas leaks.

Figure n. Gas supply line fittings.
Gas Pressure
Proper gas pressure provides a consistent flow of gas to the appliance and is instrumental in checking for gas leaks. The gas control valve on the fireplace is equipped with pressure test points for gauge connections. The gauge connections are located on the front of the valve next to the On/Off/Pilot knob. Gauge connections are identified by:
E
A
• IN / E for inlet or supply pressure (the amount of gas coming to the valve.)
- OUT / A for manifold pressure (the amount of gas that is coming out of the valve to the burer.)

Figure 12. Pressure test points located on the front of the valve.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply line by closing its individual manual gas shut-off valve (gas cock) during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system that is equal to or exceeds pressures of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).


ALWAYS TEST PRESSURE WITH VALVE CONTROL KNOB SET ON HIGH. Symptoms of incorrect gas pressure include:
Insufficient gas pressure:
- Small pilot flame which can result in insufficient millivolts.
- Little variation in flame picture between Hi and 10 settings.
- Insufficient gas to support more than one appliance causing nuisance outages or gas surges.
Excessive gas pressure:
- Permanent damage to valve causing complete appliance shut down.
- Too large a pilot flame resulting in overheating of the power generator and consequent snut down.
- Sooting due to impingement and/or incorrect fuel to air mix.
High Altitude Adjustment
Installations located at altitudes from 2000 - 4250 ft. (610 M - 1370 M) require adjustment for differences in pressure. Use letul High Altitude Adjustment Kit 156453 for propane or 156452 for natural gas adjustment.
Fuel Conversion
The Jotul Ct 550 Fireplace is designed to for use with either Natural gas or Propane. It is shipped from the factory configured to use Natural gas. A conversion kit is included for conversion to Propane use if desired. Check the identification label on the Control Valve to confirm that the correct fuel is used.
WARNING:
THE CONVERSION KIT IS TO BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED J∅TUL SERVICE TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTION AND ALL CODES AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE QUALIFIED AGENCY PERFORMING THIS WORK ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS CONVERSION.

Figure 22b. install the Side Panels taking care to clear the Air Deflector.
Log Set Assembly
Much time and effort has been devoted to attaining a lively, realistic flame picture while simultaneously achieving efficient fuel combustion and effective heat output under a variety of installation conditions. The flame picture you experience, however, will be affected by a number of variables peculiar to your installation such as venting configuration, environmental and weather conditions, and fuel type. Log placement is critical to the final flame picture. Pay particular attention to placing the log pieces as illustrated here. Carefully unpack and arrange the logs as outlined below. CAUTION: The logs are fragile. Please handle each piece with care.
Use safety gloves to handle the log parts as the ceramic fibers can initiate skin.
- Place the Rear Log on the burner skirt against the back of the firebox as shown in fig. 24.
- Set the Lower Left and Right logs in place on the burner plate pegs as shown in fig. 25.
- Set the three upper logs on the appropriate pegs as shown in fig. 26.
- Lightly scatter the Ember Stones, included in the Log Set package, over the burner plate. Place them directly on top of the burner base and around the log parts. DO NOT ALLOW EMBER STONES TO BLOCK THE PILOT ASSEMBLY AREA. The burner ports directly in front of the pilot must remain clear for proper burner ignition.
- Rep ace the Glass Panel Frame using the Latch Release tool to engage the latches with the frame. See fig. 1, page 3.

System Check
-
PURGING THE GAS LINE: When lighting the appliance for the first time it will take a few moments to clear the gas line of air. Once this purge is complete, the appliance will operate as described in the lighting instructions located on the fireplace's rating plate and back cover of this manual.
-
PILOT FLAME: The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting or floating. The flame should be blue in color around the pilot hood, with traces of yellow toward the outer edges. It is imperative that the pilot flame engulf the top 3/8" of the thermopile (power generator) and the top 1/8" of the quick drop-out thermocouple. The pilot flame should project out of the pilot hood 1" at all three ports, extending to reach the burner plate ports. See fig. 28.
Pilot Shutter Adjustment
The Pilot Stutter, located directly behind the pilot assembly, is set fully-open at the factory. Those installations which include a long, external vent run may be susceptible to draft conditions that can affect pilot stability and cause the valve to shut off automatically. In such cases, adjusting the shutter to a closed, or partially-closed position, will help improve pilot stability.
- BURNER ADJUSTMENT: Your gas fireplace is equipped with a variable gas control valve. This valve provides easy adjustment of the flame height appearance and heat output. To adjust the flame between the HI and LO setting, rotate the HI/LO knob, located in the center of the valve face. Flame height will adjust approximately 50% between the HI and LO settings
NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE PRESENT. CHECK LOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS APPAR-ENT. IF SOOT OR SMOKE PERSISTS, THE AIR SHUTTER MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.
CAUTION:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER THE FLAME APPEARANCE BY PLACING THE GAS CONTROL IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN THE FULL "ON" POSITION.
Flame Appearance / Air Shutter Adjustment
THIS FIREPLACE IS SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY EQUIPPED TO USE NATURAL GAS. IF THE BURNER HAS BEEN CONVERTED FOR USE WITH PROPANE, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE AIR SHUTTER TO ACHIEVE AN IDEAL AIR-TO-GAS RATIO. See page 22.
WARNING:
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY BE PER- FORMED BY A QUALIFIED, PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
The air shutter adjustment can also help achieve the desired flame appearance. Generally, flame appearance is a matter of indiv dua: preference, however a warm yellowish flame is most common.
Closing the air shutter - in extreme cases may generate very long yellow flames resulting in soot. Sooting produces black deposits on the logs, on the inside walls of the appliance, and potentially on the exterior termination cap. Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in the flames and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter opening.
Opening the air shutter - will generate a flame that is blue and transparent, or "anemic". This flame is generally more efficient, but not as attractive.

Figure 28. Correct Pilot flame pattern and Pilot Shutter location.

Figure 29. Correct flame pattern at maximum output. Adjust the air shutter if necessary to achieve desired flame pattern.
Air Shutter Adjustment
The Air Shutter is set half-open at the factory. This setting provides good combustion characteristics with either natural gas or propane in a variety of operating conditions. You may find, however, that your particular installation requires adjustment to allow for a greater or reduced air/fuel ratio. Follow this procedure to adjust the air shutter setting.
- Locate the Air Shutter adjustment stem extending down from the center of the firebox floor. You will not be able to see it, however, you will be able to feel it about 3 inches from the front of the glass frame. See fig. 29.
- Loosen the wing nut and pull the stem forward to open the air inlet to allow more air into the burner. Push it to the rear to reduce the air. Make adjustments in 1/8" (3 mm) increments.
Between adjustments, allow the fire to burn 15-20 minutes on the HIGH selling, observing the flame continuously.
- If the flames are azy, or sooty, move the shutter forward to increase oxygen. If the flame appears weak, jet-like, or blue, move the shutter back to decrease air. Repeat the process until the flame is as desired. Retighten the wing nut.
Surround Assembly
Each of the surround assemblies and front facings is completely assembled at the factory. No further assembly is required. All assemblies utilize hooved brackets (fig. 30) that simply hang onto the inboard tabs on the fireplace cabinet as shown in fig. 70 on page 14.
- Be certain the blower power cord is routed to the front of the insert.
- Hang the Wide Surround first, if appropriate, on the outboard tabs on the firebox assembly.
- Cast Iron Surround: Remove the upper deflector. See fig. 8, page 13. Lift the surround assembly by the upper panel to engage the hooks with: The Inboard fanger tabs on the firebox assembly.
- Steel Facings: Open the doors and lift the assembly by the upper panel to engage the hanger bracket hooks with the inboard hanger tabs.
Plinth
A plinth panel is incorporated into the Cast Iron Sur- rounds. If you choose not to use it, the panel can be removed simply by bending the panel back and forth to snap it off of the surround backing plate.
Rating Plate Location
The Lighting Instructions / Rating Plate is tethered to the Valve & Burner controls compartment on the left side of the fireplace insert. Simply pull it out to reference when operating the fireplace.
Cast Iron Surround Only: If you are installing a cast iron surround, relocate the rating plate underneath the firebox floor where it will be readily accessible after the surround is hung in place.

Figure 3c. All surround panels incorporate hanger brackets that engage with the hanger tabs on the firebox.
Operation
- Your fireplace can be operated manually using the On/Off/T-stal rocker switch or it can be automatically controlled using an optional wall-mounted thermostat or remote control device. A separate switch is provided for the built-in forced air blower. Familiarize yourself with the location and function of the controls. Gas Valve and Burner controls are located in the left compartment. Blower controls are in the right hand compartment. See figs. 31 - 34. Piezo Ignitor - Push button pilot light ignition.
Gas Control - Used to control the pilot light and gas flow from the supply line.

ON/OFF/T'STAT Switch - Allows for manual or thermostatic control of the barrier.
Always follow the Lighting Instructions located on the inside Back Cover of this manual and also on the Rating Plate, located in the burner controls compartment.
-
For the first several hours of operation, it is common to detect some odor as the metal and manufacturing materials cure under heat. This condition is temporary and can be alleviated by allowing plenty of fresh air to circulate through the area.
-
Condensation may develop on the glass upon each lighting of the appliance. This "fog" will disappear as the glass heats.
-
Keep the controls and the area under the appliance free of debris; vacuum L this area frequently, especially if you have pets. Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.
When a vacuum is used on any service for the fireplace. ALWAYS be sure the fireplace is completely cold.
