Install the top logs beginning with the left log
first. Move the back lower !og ieft or right as
necessaly to align the positioning pins. Once
this log is in place, make sure the rear log is
upright and ail the way to
the back of the flat
surface of
the burner pan assembly.
Place the right

on the set, again adjusting
the lower log
left or right as necessary to align

Checking the System -Afterthe gas
line is installed,
logsarein placeand ihesystem
is leak checked,
run.intial system checkout
before closing up the front of the unit. Follow
the pilot lighting instructions on page 18.
Hote:Instructionsarealso
foundon thepullout
panel located on the
bottom surface of the
appiiance.
Note:
The doorswitch
must
be held closed for
burner operation when testing.
When first
lighting the appliance,
it
wiii take a
few minutes for the line to purge itself of air.
Once purging is complete, the pilot and burner
will
lightand operateas indicated intheinstruc-
tion manual. Subsequent iightings of the appli-
ance will not require such purging. Inspect the
pilotflame (remove logs, if necessary, handling
carefully)
The flame shouid be steady, not lifting or float-
ing. Flame should be blue in colorwith traces of
orange at the outer edge.
The top
3/s'
(10 mrn) at the pilot generator
(thermopile] and the top
'K
min (tip) of the
quick drop out thermocouple should be en-
gulfed in the pilot flame. The flame should
project
1'(25 mm) beyond the hoodat allthree
ports (Figure
