The gas controls can be found behind the
control compartment access panel.
To open the control compartment access
panel, actuate the spring-loaded magnetic
catch securing the panels right side, by gen-
tly depressing the outer top corner of the
panel until the catch "pops" the door free,
allowing it to swing out and down to open.
On millivolt systems, the piezo ignitor, Hi/Lo

esty panel. On both millivolt and electronic
systems the gas valve is located behind the
modesty panel. Refer to Figure 1.
Once the control compartment access panel
has been opened, the modesty panel can be
removed as follows: pull the bottom edge of
the modesty panel out of the locking slots of
the cabinet bottom. Then tilt the top edge of
the panel at a 45°angel and gently lift the
panel out.
Remove the modesty panel carefully, so that
none of the wires become loose or discon-
nected. Now complete access to the gas con-

Outside Combustion Air Controls
Manyappliancesareequipped,wheninstalled,
with an outside (make-up air) vent system
thatisdesignedtoprovidetheappliancewith
outside make-up air for combustion when in
operation. The outside air control lever for
the outside air system is standard on all
appliances but should not be operated if the
complete system is not installed. Refer to
Figure 4 . Whenthecompleteoutsideairvent
system is installed, the installer will remove
the securing screw from the combustion air
controlleverlocatedontherightside(EBVST,
EBVPF and EBVCL), or left side (EBVCR) of
the fireplace opening.
Ifthesecuringscrewhasnotbeenremovedand
you have reason to believe that you have a
completeoutside airsystem,contact yourdis-
tributor to have your appliance inspected for
thepresenceofthecomplete system. DO NOT
assume that you have this system in place.

To open the outside air shutter, open the
botttomcontrolaccess panel, reach into the
gap between the firebox bottom and the
modestypanel, andpull the outsideair con-
trol lever all the way out. The outside air
shutter should be fully open when the fire-
place is in use and completely closed when
the fireplace is not being used. Closing it
whennot inusewill preventoutsidecold air
from entering the dwelling.
CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE FRONT EN-
CLOSURE GLASS WITH YOUR HANDS WHILE
THE FIREPLACE IS IN USE.
Venting Action and Safety Limit Operation
Ifyoususpectthattheapplianceisnotventing
properly, or you notice windows fogging or
sweating, you may want to conduct the fol-
lowing spillage test:
1- Placeunitinitsnormally-operatedcon-
dition,that is, withthe glassenclosurepan-
els in place.
2 - Close all doors and windows in the
room.Turn on allexhaustfansinthehouse.
3- Light the appliance.
4- Wait 15 minutes.
5- To check for venting action, start by
holdingasmokeproducingdevicewithinan
inch of one edge (side edge, not top or
bottom edge) of one glass enclosure panel.
Thesmokeshouldbedrawntowardtheedge
of the glass enclosure panel. Continue the
testby movingthe smoke producingdevice
alongtheentirelengthofbothside-edgesof
the glass door. Repeat the test for all glass
enclosure panels.
6- If the smoke is not drawn towards the
edges of the glass door turn off the appli-
anceandcallaqualifiedservicetechnican.
Variable Flame Height Adjustment
( Millivolt Appliances only)
1. All Millivolt appliances are equipped with a
variable gas control valve. Flame height for
thesemodelsmaybeadjustedthrougharange
between fixed low and high settings while the
appliance is in operation.
Adjusttheflameheightasdesiredafterlighting
the appliance by rotating the variable adjust-
ment control knob located on the front of the
valve
(refer to Figure 2) .(An extension is
provided to this knob so that the adjustment
may be made at the modesty panel.)
2. Whenlitfor the firsttime,thisappliance will
emitaslightodorfor14hours.Thisisduetothe
“burn-in”ofinternalpaintsandlubricantsused
in the manufacturing process.
3. Keep lower control compartment clean by
vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
Morefrequentcleaningmayberequireddueto
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materi-
als, etc. It is important that control compart-
ments, burners and circulating air passage-
ways of the appliance be kept clean.
4. Always turn off gas to the pilot (millivolt
appliances) and let the unit cool down before
cleaning. Before re-lighting, refer to the light-
ing instructions in this manual. Lighting in-
structions may also be found on the pull out
lighting instruction labels attached to the
gas control valve.
5. Always keep the appliance area clear and
freefromcombustiblematerials,gasolineand
other flammable liquids.
6. Remember,Millivolt applianceshavea con-
tinuous burning pilot flame. Exercise caution
whenusingproductswithcombustiblevapors.
7. Clean the front glass enclosure only when
necessary and when the unit is cool. Wipe
surface with clean, dampened, soft cloth. Fol-
low with dry, soft towel as desired. Take care
not to scratch the glass surface.
