Important: When lit for the first time, the appliance
will emit a slight odour for a couple of hours. This is
due to the curing of paints, sealants and lubricants
used in the manufacturing process. This condition is
temporary. Open doors and windows to ventilate
area. If optional fan kit has been installed, place fan
in the "OFF" position. Smoke and fumes caused by
the curing process may cause discomfort to some
individuals.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found
with your furnace heat exchanger or cook stove oven.

GAS SUPPLY
Caution: The gas line should be installed by a qualified
service person in accordance with all building codes.
Consult local and/or national building codes before
proceeding.
Correct gas line diameter must be used to assure proper
operation. The gas control is equipped with a captured screw
type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide
a 1/8 inch N.P.T. plugged tapping pressure test port for
checking gas pressure immediately upstream of the gas
supply connection to the appliance.
The gas valve inlet accepts a 3/8" N.P.T. fitting. For leg model
units, it is recommended to use the optional flex gas connector
(#GASC.GASCON). Route the gas connector inside the
adapter to the rear. Fasten connector to the right side near the
back with the bracket. Alternately, the gas supply line may
enter through the 4" diameter hole located in the base of the
leg adapter. This will allow the installation of the optional
blower kit.

VENT RESTRICTOR
ADJUSTMENT
A vent restrictor damper is built into the appliance to adjust the
flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures proper flames for the
wide variety of vent configurations.
Refer to the chart for the correct damper angle for the amount
of vent in your installation. Adjust the restrictor damper control
on the back of the unit by moving the control rod to the
appropriate index hole. Restrictor positions are based upon
lab tests. The ideal position may vary slightly with installation.
If necessary, adjust damper position as follows:
Damper position correction:
The damper position is correct if the rear right flame has the
following characteristics:
- flame has yellow colour and some movement
- flame is vertical
Damper has too much angle if the rear right flame has the
following characteristics:
- flame is pale, blue, lifting, clear, or non existent
- flame has no movement
Damper has too little angle if the rear right flame has the
following characteristics:
- flame is bent forward
- flame has excessive movement

GAS KNOB
FIRST FIRE
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight
odour for a couple of hours. This is due to the curing of
paints, sealants and lubricants used in the manufacturing
process. This condition is temporary. Open doors and
windows to ventilate area. If optional fan kit has been
installed, place fan in the "OFF" position. Smoke and
fumes caused by the curing process may cause discomfort
to some individuals.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some
expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or
cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace
heat exchanger or cook stove oven.

BURNER
CONTROL
Manual HI-LO Control Knob
Fig. # 15
OPERATION
The heater comes equipped with an "ON-OFF" rocker switch.
This switch is conveniently located on the control panel just
behind the access door.
Once a pilot light has been established, and the gas valve
knob turned to the "ON" position, the burner may be turned on
or off simply with the switch. An optional wall thermostat may
be installed to operate the burner automatically.
Manual HI-LO Flame Adjustment:
The HI-LO burner control knob can be rotated in both
directions, providing infinite control of gas flow rate to the
burner and therefore greater comfort control. The HI
setting provides a maximum gas input (flame height), and
rotating the knob clockwise toward the LO setting will
reduce the gas input (flame height) to a minimum setting.
Wall Thermostat (optional part# GASC.THERMO):
Set the wall thermostat to a comfortable temperature. Turn
the HI-LO burner control knob to a desired setting. As heat
is required, the heater will turn on or off automatically, as
needed.
Extend Shutdown:
To shutdown the appliance including the pilot, partially
depress and turn gas valve knob clockwise past “PILOT”
to “OFF” position. DO NOT FORCE.
NOTE: The SIT control has an interlock device which does not
allow the pilot to be lit when the appliance is at operating
temperature. Let the appliance cool down (approx. 60 sec.)
before attempting to relight the pilot. DO NOT use force to
rotate the control knob.
PRIMARY AIR ADJUSTMENT
This appliance is provided with primary air adjustment, which
affects flame height and quality.
Adjustment is possible to compensate for varying field
conditions, such as vent system configuration or altitude.
Adjustment should be done after the appliance has reached
operating temperature.
Caution! Firebox may be hot.
The air shutter adjustment rod is located behind the control
panel, to the left of the gas valve, (see fig #17). Pulling the rod
down opens the shutter and decreases the flame height.
Pushing the rod up closes the shutter and increases the flame
height.
To Adjust:
1) With appliance at operating temperature, open control
door to access control panel.
2) Pull control knob extensions off.
3) Remove the two screws at the top edge of the control
panel and remove panel to gain access to the adjustment
rod. Depressing the igniter while moving the control
panel may be necessary on units with the pedestal
option.
4) Move air shutter adjustment rod up or down until proper
flame is obtained.
5) Reassemble control panel.
Fig. # 17
Caution: Proper air shutter setting is a must.
The flame should be just yellow, “lazy” and just below the
baffle. It should NEVER be set to create sooting on internal
parts and glass. Open air shutter gradually until sooting stops.

WARNING: Do not connect electricity to the gas control
valve or control wiring system of this unit.
No electrical connection is required for this system operation.
The self-generating pilot provides current for the remote wall
switch or wall thermostat (not provided).
The installation of a wall switch allows for manual remote
operation of fireplace. Automatic operation with a wall
thermostat. Use only a switch or thermostat that is millivolt
rated.
Position the wall switch or thermostat so that a minimum
length of wire is used from the switch to the fireplace. Use
appropriate wire gauge for length of wire. Connect the wall
switch to the valve as shown in figure #18.

OPTIONAL BLOWER
The optional blower kit #BLOW.G1A is equipped with a three
prong power cord and may be installed at any time. Follow
installation instructions supplied with the kit.
Operation:
The optional circulating air blower is either thermostatically or
manually controlled. Set to auto, the fan will only turn on if the
appliance is at operating temperature. A few minutes after the
appliance is lit and the variable speed control is set at a
desired setting, the blower will automatically turn on. The
blower will automatically turn off a few minutes after the
appliance is shut down.
The blower may also be operated manually. Push the rocker
switch to manual position and the blower will operate
independent of the burner provided the variable speed control
is set.
