How to Start a Gas Fireplace
Let’s talk about how to operate your gas fire rules and how to operate turn on adjust and use their gas fireplace
Did you know that there are actually several of those steps?
Sounds a little complicated?
Well, the first thing you want to do with your fireplace is turn it on.
Sounds easy enough, but…
Let’s get going here.
Most fireplaces operate with either a wall switch or a remote control.
Whether you are using the remote control over the wall switch it’s important to simply turn it on and then wait for a while for the fireplace to respond.
If you push the on button several times it can lock out your fireplace if you don’t see a response in a few minutes.
Then you can try the process again after a short wait if it doesn’t turn on the second time then you’ll want to call your dealer for service.
Gas Fireplace Flame Height
When it comes to how to start a gas fireplace, another important step in the operation of your fireplace is to adjust the flame height.
The heat output of many gas fireplaces has a remote control that accomplishes this for you simply by pushing an up or down arrow.
Some fireplaces do have a manual control which you access in the controls area of the fireplace.
To get to this area you either have to remove the decorative front or there may be a louvred door that opens at the bottom.
By removing the decorative front you can see the knob to adjust the heat output and the flame height is labelled high and low.
The pilot on/off knob is often located to its left this knob will always say high and low.
So you simply turn it to the desired flame height and heat output.
Fan Gas Fireplaces
There is another popular option in fireplaces and that is the fan.
Many fans can be adjusted by using your remote control you know.
If you didn’t…
You do now.
But, if you don’t have a remote control, you will have a speed control in which you can turn your fan on and adjust the speed to the desired setting.
Once you’ve adjusted the fan control to the desired setting you can simply let it run automatically when you turn your fireplace on.
And…
The fan will come on when it’s appropriate.
