Please follow the sequence below for lighting a Vent-Free Unit:
For your safety, read all the steps before lighting
- This appliance is equipped with a piezo igniter which will light the pilot
- Verify that any and all gas valves are opened prior to the firebox
- Before lighting, smell around the appliance area for any raw gas
- Use only your hand to push in and turn the gas control knob (Knobs will have markings: Off - Pilot or I - On)
(Photos of Gas Control Knobs - Top is for a manual control valve, Center is for a millivolt valve, Bottom is for the EASY system) - Never use tools, do not attempt to repair yourself
- Push in gas control valve slightly and turn clock-wise fully to the Off position
- Wait 5 minutes to allow gas to dissipate (If you smell gas, STOP)
- Do not try to light the appliance
- Do not touch any electrical switch; Do not use any phone or electrical source
- Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbors phone
- If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department
- If you do not smell gas, please continue to the next step
- Turn the gas control knob counter clock-wise to the Pilot position
- Push gas control knob all the way in and hold to allow gas flow to the pilot
- While continuing to hold gas control knob, press the piezo igniter button that will create a spark to light the pilot flame (You may have to depress the piezo several times also, this may take several minutes to allow air in the gas line to dissipate)
- Once the pilot flame is lit, continue to hold the gas control knob all the way down for approximately 30-45 seconds
- Release the gas control knob and the pilot should remain lit (If not, please allow 5 minutes for gas to dissipate and repeat steps 10-12)
- If the pilot flame remains lit, turn gas control knob counter clock-wise to On position
- For manual valves, ME or SPK3E, the burner flame will light
- For remote log sets, SE-RE or RPK3E-RMC1E, locate the receiver box for lighting
