Operating Instructions
For Your Safety, Read Safety Precautions And
Lighting Instructions Before Operating
PiLot Light:
The pilot ow adjustment is set to maximum at the factory and should
not need to be adjusted. The pilot ame should cover ⅜” to ½” (10
to 13mm) of the ame sensor (see Figure 4). However, should the
need arise, turn the adjustment screw to alter the pilot gas ow.
Note: If the pilot requires adjustment it should be done prior
to completing the installation of the appliance. The valve is only
accessible through the rebox access panel.

Routine maintenance:
Run through the following procedures to ensure the system is clean and working properly at least once
a year. Check the burner to see if all the ports are clear and clean. Check the pilot to make sure it is not
blocked by anything. The pilot ame should be blue with little or no yellow tips.
WARNING: Failure to position parts in accordance with this manual, or failure to use only parts specically
approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
cLeaning the FiRebox (RecommenDeD annuaLLy):
Carefully remove the logs, they are fragile. Gently remove all the media and place on a paper towel. Vacuum
the bottom of the rebox thoroughly. Carefully clean any dust o the logs and remove any lint from the
burner and pilot. At this time, inspect the burner tube for cracking or severe warping. If a problem is
suspected, contact the dealer. Check the logs for deterioration. Re-install the logs as shown in the Secondary
InStallatIon - log Set InStallatIon section. If new/more media is required, contact your nearest Urbana
dealer.
cLeaning DecoRative suRFaces:
Painted and porcelain faces should be wiped with a damp cloth periodically. Never clean the face when it is
hot. Do not use other cleaners as they may leave a residue, which can become permanently etched into the
surface.
WaLL sWitch & batteRy backuP:
Included with the replace is a weatherproof
wall switch and battery backup housing.
This wall switch comes pre-wired to a
14 foot length of 5-wire cable that can

buRneR shutteR caP aDjustment:
The U44I-OUT contains an adjustable shutter cap that can alter the amount of air the burner receives.
This can greatly aect the quality of the burn, especially when converting the gas type for the unit.
Follow these steps carefully to properly set the shutter cap:
1. Remove the burner assembly from the replace as instructed on the previous page.
2. At the back of the burner (where the
burner connects to the burner orice),
there is a single Phillips head screw
that should be loosened. This will allow
for adjustment of the burner cap (see
Figure 9).
3. Rotate the shutter following the
guidelines below. These are general
settings only and the shutter may
require additional adjustment (less/
more) depending on the exact setup of
the appliance:
