After gas line is connected, appliance connection
valve and valve train must be checked while under normal
operating pressure with either a liquid solution, or leak
detection device, to locate any source of leak. Tighten any
areas where bubbling appears or leak is detected until
bubbling stops completely or leak is no longer detected.
WARNING!
When pressure testing the replace, Gas line, and input system
follow the appropriate local codes or your area. DO NOT connect
the replace to pressures in excess of 1/2lb. This will damage the
gas control valve.
The manifold outlet pressure is set from the factory to the
appropriate pressure but should be veried.
To check pressures, control valves have a provision to remove
a 1/8” N.PT. plug to be tted with a hose barb.
Montigo requires a service shut off valve be located in an
accessible location to isolate the gas supply.
Only install gas shut-off valves approved for use by the state,
province, or other governing body in which the replace is being
installed.
See Figure 5 below for location of gas line access.
Flexible gas connectors must not exceed 3 feet in length, unless
allowable within local regulations.
Connect incoming gas line to the 1/2"or 3/8" gas inlet port.
Purge all air out of gas line.
Check appliance connection, valve and valve train under normal
operating pressure with a commercially available leak check
solution.
Gas line access.
Verify that your replace is compatible with your available gas
type. (Natural Gas or Propane shown by "N" or "L" in your
model number
If gas type is not compatible, contact your local Montigo
representative to purchase a conversion kit.
Conversion kits must be installed by a qualied service technician.
Optimum appliance performance requires proper input pressures.

See pages 13 to 14.
CAUTION!
Fireplace gas control must be in the “OFF” position and pilot
and main burners extinguished when cleaning appliance with
a vacuum.
Doors can get very hot. Handle only when cool.
. The
inspection must include, but is not limited to, the following:
A visual check of the entire vent system and termination.
An inspection of the explosion relief appers and the door
gaskets to ensure a proper seal.
An inspection of the burner, vent run, and primary air openings.
An inspection of the gas valve, gas components, and pilot
ame. For your convenience a 1/8" manifold pressure tap is
supplied on the gas valve for a test gauge connection.
Ensure proper log placement as per this manual.
Inspection of all optional equipment; fans, thermostats, etc.
For this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure
of 5.5" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C.
For this appliance requires a minimum inlet
pressure of 11" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.
Always keep the replace area clear and free of combustible
materials, as well as gasoline and other ammable vapours
and liquids.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualied service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
When the replace is rst activated, there may be some smoking and
a visible lm may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition, and is
the result of burning of protective coatings on new metal.
Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any lm (which is
a normal by-product of combustion) which may be visible. Film
can easily be removed by removing the door, as shown on
. Handle the door carefully, and clean it with non-abrasive
glass cleaners. One of the most effective products is Kel Kem.
Silicone seals on inner door during initial ring will "off gas",
leaving a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion
chamber walls. This can easily be removed using normal
household products.
Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control
compartment, burner, and rebox free from dust and lint.
Logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot
or other contaminates.
Burner Adjustment
The is equipped with an adjustable burner, allowing
you to raise or lower the ames. To adjust the ames, locate the black
knob marked 'Hi-Lo', in the centre of the gas control valve (See Figure
11). The front burners are not adjustable.
To raise the ame height, turn the black knob (located behind the
lower trim) .
