• If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries,
turn the gas control knob “OFF” and call a
qualified service technician or gas supplier.
4. 7. Turn gas control knob counterclockwise to
“ON”.
8. Select “ON” or “T-STAT” position on the on/off/t-
stat switch.
5. 9. Plug in the blower.
10. Set thermostat to “ON” and set the desired
temperature setting.
Normally, if the “T-STAT” position was selected, the
main burner is cycled on and off by the Thermostat or
the “on”, “off” switch located on the bottom of the
Thermostat body.
TO TURN OFF THE GAS TO THE APPLIANCE
Turn the gas control knob clockwise to “OFF”
position. If shutting the unit off for the non-heating
season, this will improve the overall efficiency of
the unit as the heat from the pilot is wasted in the
summer. When putting the unit back into service
follow the lighting instructions described on this
page.
Once the pilot has been lit, and the gas control knob has
been turned to the “ON” position, the main burners are
lit by setting the “ON/OFF/THERMOSTAT” switch to
“ON” or to “THERMOSTAT”. If using the optional
thermostat, turn the thermostat to “ON” and set it to a
higher position so that it “calls” for heat (i.e. turns the
unit on). The main burners should light immediately.
Note that the thermostat controls the on/off cycling of
the main burners, but the pilot remains lit regardless of
the thermostat setting. To turn the pilot off, turn the gas
control knob fully clockwise to the “Off” position.
WARNING: THE CONTROL HAS AN INTERLOCK
DEVICE. AFTER SHUTTING OFF ALL GAS FLOW,
THE PILOT BURNER CANNOT BE RELIT UNTIL
THE THERMOCOUPLE HAS COOLED, ALLOWING
THE ELECTROMAGNET TO BE RELEASED
(APRX. 60 SEC). THE GAS CONTROL KNOB IS
DESIGNED TO BE OPERATED BY HAND. NEVER
USE ANY TOOLS DURING THIS OPERATION. IF
THE KNOB WILL NOT PUSH IN OR TURN BY
HAND, DON’T TRY TO REPAIR IT, CALL A
QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. DAMAGED
KNOBS MAY RESULT IN FIRE, EXPLOSION, OR
SERIOUS INJURY.
Turning Off the Unit
1. Set the “ON/OFF/THERMOSTAT” switch to the
“OFF” position, or turn the thermostat to the “OFF”
position.
2. If shutting the unit off for the non-heating season,
turn the gas control knob fully clockwise to the
“OFF” position. Do not force the knob to turn.
PILOT AND BURNER FLAMES
Variable Output Control
The gas control valve is equipped with a variable output
control. This control varies the rate of heat produced by
the unit by varying the gas pressure to the main burner
tube. The length of the burn cycle is affected by a
combination of heat output and the thermostat setting. If
your stove turns on and off too often, try, first, reducing
the burn cycle by turning the HI/LOW knob, on the
control valve to a lower setting. Using the variable
output control, the heat output of the unit can be reduced
for mild fall and spring months, or maximized for the
colder winter months. This adjustment can be made, by
the homeowner, as necessary by turning the variable
output control knob to “HI”, “LO”, or any setting in
between.
Ht (High Turndown)
The DVI is equipped with a dual valve system. This
allows for the dramatic turndown that most other gas
systems do not feature. Turn the secondary valve off,
and the rear flames go out leaving the front flames on for
a more relaxed ambience simmer. Turn the rear flames
back on to enjoy the high flames for more heat. This Ht
system is technologically designed to cover all aspects of
heating pleasure.
Air Shutter
The air shutter is adjustable while the stove is burning.
The two air shutters on the ember burner are adjustable.
The right one (while facing the front of the stove) is for
the low burn portion of the ember burner and the left one
(while facing the front of the stove) is for the high burn
portion of the ember burner. The adjusters are located
underneath the front of the unit, and operated by using a
3/8” wrench to loosen the bolt. Sliding the control levers
forward or backward will open and close the shutters.
This nut is hot and should not be touched. Use only
metal tools for this adjustment. Sliding forward opens
the air shutter, and sliding backward closes it. Tighten
the nut after making adjustment. The air shutter is
factory set and only a qualified gas technician should
make adjustments.
Pilot Adjustment
The pilot light is preset by the manufacturer and should
not need adjustment. The pilot flame should be large
enough to engulf the thermopile and the thermocouple,
