CAUTION: ALWAYS REMOVE YOUR FIREPLACE GLASS PRIOR TO LIGHTING YOUR
PILOT
Locate gas supply valve (typically behind louvers,
below glass opening - may be red or blue).
Open valve by pivoting handle to be parallel to gas
line.
Locate pilot assembly with spark ignitor (located
behind and below logs in the firebox - typically in the bottom
center).
Then locate red or black igniter button.* Push igniter
to verify spark at pilot area.
Locate the black or green valve control knob (knob
with the words "ON", "OFF" and "PILOT" on it).
Push in and rotate counter-clockwise until the word "pilot" is
in the 6 o'clock position.**
While pressing and holding in the valve knob (in "PILOT"
position - it should press in about 1/4"), press the red piezo
button repeatedly (once per second) until the pilot ignites. If
the pilot does not light, wait 5 minutes and try again. Once the
pilot is lit, continue to hold the valve knob in for 30 seconds,
then slowly release.
If the pilot light goes out, contact your nearest dealer for
service. Remember to shut the gas supply valve off (picture #1).
If it remains lit, press the valve knob in slightly and rotate
counter-clockwise until the word "ON" is in the 6 o'clock
position.
Finally, turn the unit's ON/OFF switch (or wall switch
or remote control) to the "ON" position to start your
fire.
Make sure you put the glass front back on the fireplace
prior to burning your fireplace. Make sure the glass is securely
clamped on, at all points, prior to replacing the front
Enjoy your fireplace!
* If you do not see a red or black
spark igniter button, you do not have a manual ignition
system. If power is actively supplied to your fireplace,
simply turn the on/off button, wall switch or remote
control to "on" to ignite your main burner.
Note: Some valve assemblies
may be inverted in their brackets. If yours
appears to be the mirror image of picture #4,
then the word "PILOT" will be in the 12 o'clock
position to light the pilot, and "ON" will be
set to the 12 o'clock position to turn on your
main burner.
