STEP TWO: Attach Pilot (Figure 4).
1. With the Pilot Thermo-generator beneath the Pilot Support Bracket, insert the 10-32 Bolts through the pre
drilled-holes in Pilot Support Bracket into the threaded holes of the Pilot Thermogenerator Assembly. Tighten
with Screw driver.
2. Insert 10-32 Bolt through the Pilot Support Bracket and pre-drilled hole in back of Burner Pan (side of CS/CA
pan-see "CS/CA Burner Pan Side View" at Figure 4). Thread 10-32 Nut onto the 10-32 Bolt and tighten. Ensure
that Pilot Burner is centered over Burner Tube.
NOTE: To ensure proper operation, Pilot and Pilot Support Bracket must be installed as depicted

NOTE: Thermostat wiring is 20 AWG Type CL2. Electrical resistance for wire lengths greater than 20 feet
may exceed the Thermogenerator’s ability to operate correctly.

STEP SIX: Install Heat Shield.
Place the Heat Shield on the
valve with the notched vertical
face between the Valve and the
Burner Pan. Ensure that the Heat
Shield is over the Valve

VOIDING OF VALVE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY
CAUTION: The safety control valve must be protected to a max ambient temperature of 175° F.
Excessive heat to the valve is indicated by melted plastic on the valve body.
STEP SEVEN: Connecting Accessory Controller:
Using the 20' accessory control wiring attached to the two outside terminals of the Valve Terminal Block (see
Figures 6 and 7), connect the Switch Control Accessory Option (Remote, Thermostat, Switch, etc.) to valve.
CAUTION: This is a millivolt system. DO NOT connect to 115 V line. Safety controls damaged by heat or
115 volt electricity are not covered by warranty.
Switch Control Accessory Options:
ULTRA-SONIC WIRELESS REMOTE (Model "F10-AB)
INFRARED WIRELESS REMOTE WITH THERMOSTAT (Model "IRRC")
WALLSWITCH (Model"WS-1")
WALL THERMOSTAT (Model "TS-1")
WALL TIMER (60 MINUTE TIMER) (Model "WT-1")
CRACKLER Sound Generator option for F10 AB or IRRC (Model "CF5")
• Accessory REMOTE LOG HOUSE (Model "RH") is available for use as a heat resistant "log" in which the receiver
portion of Wireless remote option F10 AB or IRRC may be located.
• Accessory CRACKLER LOG HOUSE (Model "CH") is available for use as a heat resistant "log" in which the
CRACKLER Sound Generator option for both the F10 AB and IRRC wireless remotes may be located.
LIGHTING
CAUTION! DAMPER AND GLASS DOORS MUST BE FULLY OPEN BEFORE LIGHTING OR BURNING FOR
PROPER VENTILATION AND TO PREVENT HEAT DAMAGE TO VALVE
F, FX & CS burners use Natural Gas. Fill Burner Pan with the white sand provided with burner.
FA, FA-X & CA burners use LP Gas. Fill Burner Pan with black volcanic ash provided with burner.
STEP ONE: Pilot Lighting:
NOTE: The Gas Dial has complete control of gas to pilot and burner. The Gas Dial cannot be turned to "OFF"
without first depressing dial in "PILOT" position and then rotating clockwise to "OFF". (see Figure 7)
1. Depress and turn Gas Dial to "OFF" position. (Figure 9)
2. Set Accessory Control to "OFF" (Remote Control) or to lowest
temperature setting (Thermostat)
3. Wait at least 5 minutes to allow gas which may have
accumulated around burner to escape.
4. Turn Gas Dial to "PILOT" position. (Figure 9)
5. Depress and hold Gas Dial until air is bled and gas flows to pilot.
6. Light pilot. Continue to hold in the Gas Dial until the Pilot flame Fi

remains lit when knob is released (approximately 60 to 90 seconds). If Pilot does not remain lit, repeat steps 1
through 5and allow more time after Pilot Lighting before releasing knob.
7. Turn Gas Dial to "ON". (Figure 9)

STEP TWO: Pilot Adjustment
1. The PILOT FLAME should be steady and soft blue surrounding
approximately 1/2 inch of the thermocouple tip (see Figure 10).
2. If pilot flame adjustment is necessary, use a narrow long stem screw driver
to turn PILOT ADJUST SCREW. The PILOT ADJUST SCREW is
located on the Gas Valve (see Figure 9). Turn clockwise for less flame,
counter clockwise for more flame.

OPERATION
IMPORTANT! CHIMNEY DAMPER MUST BE WIDE OPEN
CAUTION! DAMPER AND GLASS DOORS MUST BE FULLY OPEN BEFORE LIGHTING OR BURNING FOR
PROPER VENTILATION AND TO PREVENT HEAT DAMAGE TO VALVE.
THE FLUE MUST VENT ALL PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION.
Burner ON or OFF (Switch and Remote Valve):
With the Gas Dial (Figure 9) in the "ON" position, place the Wall or Remote Switch to "ON" or raise the
Thermostat Setting (Thermostat). To turn burner off (pilot remains lit) place Wall or Remote Switch to the "OFF"
position or to the lowest Thermostat Setting (Thermostat).
Adjusting Burner Flame Height:
Flame size at the burner is adjustable at the Gas Dial (Figure 9). Turn Gas Dial counter clockwise for more flame,
clockwise for less flame.
Switch Operation: Place manual switch in the "ON" position (Figure 9).
Remote Operation:
Place Remote Receiver switch in the "REMOTE" position. (Figure 10) Burner on or off is now "Remotely Controlled"
by the Remote Transmitter. Individual operating instructions for each Accessory Option are included with the
individual accessory.
Complete Shutdown (Including Pilot):
Place Accessory Control Switch position to "OFF" or Thermostat Control to the lowest setting. Slightly push
and turn Gas Cock Dial to "OFF". (Figure 9)
(Remote Model) Operation Of Ultrasonic Remote Control
Before you start: Both the transmitter and receiver require 9 volt batteries to
operate in remote control. The blue and black receiver wire leads are for
the optional sound producing device (CRACKLER). The receiver must be
protected from overheating. Locate receiver well away from heat.
Accessory REMOTE LOG HOUSE (Model "RH") is available for use as a
heat resistant "log" in which the receiver may be located.
Operation Tips: This is a sound operated remote (unlike TV remotes which are
Infrared and operate instantly) and requires you to aim and hold the
transmitter for 1 to 3 seconds to operate.
Manual: Switch
from OFF to ON;
ON to OFF
REMOTE OFF ON
Remote: Switch to
REMOTE. Aim,
press button and
hold transmitter at
receiver.
When switching from
REMOTE to OFF,
first turn set off using
the transmitter.
Figure 10
Manual Operation: (Receiver switch position ON or OFF) does not require batteries.
Remote Operation: Requires good batteries. If you turn the gas log on using the remote control and then turn the set
off by sliding the receiver switch from REMOTE to OFF, when you replace the switch to REMOTE it will remain in
the last selected remote position (in this case ON) and turn the gas log on.
IMPORTANT!: To shutdown overnight or for any prolonged period, slide receiver switch to "OFF".
ATTENTION:
Your Gas Log set should be operated for the first 2-3 hours at a low flame setting to
allow tempering of the refractory logs.
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE YOUR GAS LOG WITH GLASS DOORS CLOSED. ALLOW AN ADEQUATE
PERIOD OF COOLING AFTER USE BEFORE CLOSING GLASS DOORS.
CAUTION: This is a millivolt system. DO NOT connect to 115 V line. Safety controls damaged by heat or
115 volt electricity are not covered by warranty.
CAUTION! DAMPER AND GLASS DOORS MUST BE FULLY OPEN BEFORE LIGHTING OR BURNING FOR
PROPER VENTILATION AND TO PREVENT HEAT DAMAGE TO VALVE
WARNING! Heat Shield must be installed to prevent premature valve failure and/or voiding of valve
manufacturer's warranty
CAUTION: The safety control valve must be protected to a max ambient temperature of 175° F.
Excessive heat to the valve is indicated by melted plastic on the valve body.
IMPORTANT!: To shutdown overnight or for any prolonged period, slide receiver switch to "OFF".
