LIGHTING & OPERATION

FIRST FIRE INSTRUCTIONS
When operating your new fireplace for the first time, some vapors may be released due to the curing compounds used in the manufacture of the appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could cause the flames to be the full height of the firebox, or even slightly higher, for the first few hours of operation. It is possible that these vapors could set off smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity. These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We recommend opening a window to vent the room during the burn-off period. After a few hours of use, the vapors will have disappeared and the flames will be at their normal height. It is important that the Comfort Blower is turned on to help clear the vapors from the unit.

Follow these instructions for a successful first fire;

1. Turn the fireplace on in Manual Mode.
2. Set flame height to HI.
3. Set the Comfort Blower speed control to the level
4. Let the fireplace run for 3 hours at this setting then shut off the fireplace and let it cool.
5. After the fireplace cools, turn the fireplace on in manual mode with flame on HI and the Comfort Blower off.
6. Allow the fireplace to run for 6 hours in this setting.

NOTE: Slight Odors may still be noticed on future uses of the fireplace but will diminish over time. The type of finishing materials used around the fireplace may add odors or add to the curing time. If the fireplace has not been used in several months, it is normal for odors to occur caused by lint or dust that has settled on the unit while not in use.

FLAME SUPERVISION DEVICE
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flame supervision device that will shut off the gas supply if, for any reason, the pilot flame goes out. This device incorporates a  fixed probe, which senses the heat from the pilot flame. If the probe is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless manually lighting the pilot. See full lighting instructions.

NOTE: Periodically conduct a visual check to ensure the pilot and burner flames are as shown (top of page 3). During extremely cold weather, it is recommended that you leave the pilot running to prevent condensation from forming in the firebox and on the glass viewing area during startup.

LIGHTING, OPERATION & RATING INFO
The Lighting, Operation, and Rating information is located on a plate in front of the Comfort Blower inside the front face of the fireplace. To access the plate, remove the lower air trim panel as shown in step 1 on page 26.

WARNING

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TOUCH THE DATA PLATE WHILE THE FIREPLACE IS STILL HOT! Let the fireplace cool first before touching it.

SERVICING
If any attention is required for your appliance, contact your dealer quoting the model number and serial number. This number is on the rating plate, which is located adjacent to the control module. The replacement parts are shown at the end of this manual. Please always quote the part number and description when requesting spare parts. Warranty is void if serviced by a non-qualified technician.

FIREPLACE CONTROL DEVICES
There are two ways to control your fireplace.

1. SÓLAS One-Touch Remote (S-507)
2.  Optional Wall TouchPad (WTP-1500)
   The SÓLAS One-Touch Remote can be programmed to function automatically—see pages 34-38. The Optional Wall TouchPad can be used to turn the flame on, off, and to increase or decrease the flame height.

NOTE: The SÓLAS One-Touch Remote in the AUTO mode will override the Wall Touch Pad.
NOTE: The Wall TouchPad is not compatible with the SÓLAS Self-Calibrating Power Vent System.

If you hear one long beep, the pairing sequence has failed or the wiring is incorrect.
This is a one-time pairing and is not required when changing the batteries of the Remote or Control Module.
The remote control system is now ready to use.

NOTE: The batteries in your SÓLAS one-touch remote control and control module are to be replaced annually.

HOW TO TURN YOUR FIREPLACE OFF (INCLUDING PILOT)
Familiarize yourself with each of these methods before operating your fireplace.
*Remote and Wall TouchPad:** Press and hold the ONOFF button for a second (either on the Remote or the optional Wall TouchPad).
If the flames are on, they go down and you hear the valve motor wind down. You hear a clunk and a beep indicating that the valve has received the signal from the Remote.

HOW TO ENSURE YOUR FIREPLACE CAN NOT BE TURNED ON INADVERTENTLY
You can use the following method to ensure that your fireplace will not turn on when you don’t want it on. First, ensure your fireplace is turned off—including the pilot—and cold BEFORE going ahead.

• Close the shut-off valve on the gas supply line to the appliance.
• Remove all batteries from the Control Module as well as the batteries from the Remote.
• Shut off power at the breaker.

Automatic Shut-Off (in certain conditions)
Your fireplace’s Remote is equipped with an automatic shut-off mechanism which is activated in certain conditions. See page 38 in the Remote Control Operation section for a description of this feature.
NOTE: Before using the remote control system for the first time, the Control Module and the Remote are synchronized at the factory. See the section SÓLAS Remote Pairing Set-up on page 32 of this manual if the Control Module and Remote lose synchronization.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU BEGIN, please note that with this system, the settings of time, temperature, and automatic ON/OFF can only be programmed when the
function display is flashing. Be patient when programming as it does take time to set up.
