Step 12. Before Lighting the Fireplace
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at
the beginning of this Installers Guide.
Double-check for gas leaks
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter-
minations or the front grilles.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re-
placed with an approved component. Tampering with the
fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all war-
ranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas
valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which
case the air would have to be purged.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the fireplace’s initial burning.
Cold Climate Switch
If cold air infiltration, condensation, or frost on the glass is
an issue due to cold climate, you may wish to operate the
fireplace in cold climate mode.
To change your Intellifire ignition to be used in the cold
climate mode refer to the instructions included with the kit.
NOTE: The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 hours on the
initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove
and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace
for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the products
used in the paint and logs.
