Preparing Your Heat and Glo Fireplace

Before you begin, safety is our top priority. Make sure the fireplace is clean and there are no obstructions in the burner area. Also, ensure that the glassża, logs, and burner are securely in place. Now, let's prepare the fireplace for ignition.

First, turn the on/off control knob to the 'pilot' position. This will engage the pilot light, which provides the flame needed to ignite your fireplace. Next, press and hold the control knob in the 'pilot' or 'on' position. This will release the gas to the pilot burner.

Lighting the Pilot Light

With the knob held down, use a long match or lighter to ignite the pilot flame at the base of the burner. The pilot light should now be lit. Keep the knob held down for 30-60 seconds to allow sufficient gas to flow.

Safely release the control knob. If the pilot light has lit properly, you should see a steady blue flame. If it goes out immediately, you may need to repeat the process. If the problem persists, please contact Heat and Glo's customer service for assistance.

Testing the Main Burners

Once the pilot light is lit, you can test your main burners. Turn the control knob to the 'on' position. You should hear the gas flowing, and the main burners should ignite. If they don't, turn the knob to 'off', wait a few minutes, and try again.

When the main burners light, you should see flames igniting each burner. The fireplace should now be producing radiant heat. To adjust the flame height, simply turn the control knob to your desired setting. Enjoy your warm, inviting atmosphere!

Safety Tips and Maintenance

Safety is our number one concern. Regularly clean your fireplace to ensure optimal performance and minimize dust and debris buildup. This includes cleaning the glass, burner, and logs. Always make sure to turn off the fireplace when it's not in use.

Never use flammable liquids, like alcoholic beverages, to clean your fireplace. Instead, use specialized fireplace cleaning products. If you notice any unusual signs, such as a flickering flame or odd odors, please consult your owner's manual or contact Heat and Glo's customer service.

Extinguishing Your Fireplace

When it's time to extinguish your fireplace, simply turn the control knob to the 'off' position. The gas flow will stop, and the flames will safely go out. Allow the fireplace to cool completely before beginning any routine maintenance or attempting to relight it.

Regular safety checks and maintenance will ensure your Heat and Glo fireplace continues to provide warmth and ambiance for years to come. Remember, if you ever have any questions or concerns, Heat and Glo's customer service is always here to help.
