I bought a condo last year in February of 2022. Almost going to be 2 years very soon. My condo actually came with a gas fireplace which is awesome. The first thing I did was go to your video and it helped me understand more about my gas fireplace even how to turn it on and off how the pilot light works. I thank you for posting this video for anybody who owns a house a condo with a gas fireplace you've been very helpful👍😉
This video, after viewing many, is the first clean and clear instructions I have found on explaining the fireplace operation along with the wall switch. Thanks.
Bless it. After a month and half finally figure out that my husband hand took that outside silver handle (gas key) and turned it to off. I was steady doing the steps on the fireplace. Thanks.
I’ve been in my condo for a year and I finally want to use my gas fireplace. This has helped. First video I’ve watched with clean and clear instructions. I also agree. You explained how to use the the wall key as well.
So glad I finally figure out how to turn on the fireplace at my new-ish place :) thank you!! BTW. the switch on my fireplace says RS instead of auto. not sure why, but it works the same.
Should the gas be turned off with the key ? When the fire place is not being used and the pilot light is off ? I had a fireplace guy tell me to leave the gas on at all times. So I did that but I was still smelling gas even though the pilot light was off and the emergency valve i could hear click off once i shut pilot off.So I called the tech back and he said this was normal to smell some gas because the fireplace had not been used for a few year. But it still made me nervous so I shut gas off completely with the key
Hi Durell, if you are not using the fireplace regularly, I would definitely turn off the gas with the key. I would only leave the gas on if the pilot light is on and you are turning the fireplace on and off everyday. I hope that helps.
I have a wall switch which turns on fireplace. If electricity goes off is there a way to manually turn on fire logs. I have no remote as we bought house without one.
Hi Gloria, I'm not sure about that. I would try to turn it on using all the steps in the video and see if it works. Maybe someone else on the thread has insight.
This particular model is ventless which means it does not have any glass screens. If yours is externally vented, then you can close the glass screens for less heat or open them for slightly more heat.
Natural gas is way cheaper. A cord of wood can burn for 100 hours max, and a cord of wood can cost north of $450CAD. Running a natural gas fire place for 100 hours would cost, at most $147CAD.

Exactly what I needed I moved in 2 months ago to my 20 yr old condo and couldn't find any paperwork for how to get it lit. Thanks
Most welcome Lisa! I'm glad it was helpful!
Very Welcome Ma'am. Glad could help.
Super quick and easy, thanks!

It is my pleasure Elise!
Thank you!
How do u light it? So u need 2 people? I did these steps nothing.
nice video!
Thanks!
Thanks 👍🏾
Good video. Camera person was alittle bit slow but all in all good tutorial.
Thanks Daniel! It was a quick take for the benefit of those watching.
Awesome. Thanks.
I have a wall switch which turns on fireplace. If electricity goes off is there a way to manually turn on fire logs. I have no remote as we bought house without one.

@ Gloria, this video might be of help. Search YT: Zaichun Feng title: turn on gas fireplace when power is out.
Thank you.
It was My pleasure!
I pretty much the same as lighting a furnace.
Good Lawrd ..... those are a lot of steps. But thanks
Haha, you can do it! One step at a time!
That’s what I was thinking
It really isn't.
One you have it on for the season, it's just a matter of flipping the switch. Not to bad..
Would switching it to auto not increase your gas bill as it stays on?
Yes, technically it would increase slightly but very small amount since it’s only a polite light.
*pilot light
What about the glass screen? Open or closed?
This particular model is ventless which means it does not have any glass screens. If yours is externally vented, then you can close the glass screens for less heat or open them for slightly more heat.
I can’t find my key? Can I use anything else?
@SandraDiaz yes, you can use "needle-nose pliers" to grab and turn the gas on. It's a bit tricky but you can do it with some patience.
How can I know which size is for my fireplace?
I’m not sure I understand your question
Why do you turn the key so many times?!
I simply turned the key until it wouldn’t turn anymore so that the gas line would be fully “on.”
Shoots, mine isn’t quite like this😔
Sorry some are different but try to look for some similarities to help you figure out how yours might work.
I don’t think I have a wall switch that goes to my fireplace
no problem. the wall switch is optional.
That’s too much to do and remember
That's too much work. I'll probably forget some steps. Lol
Thats a big waste of gas. Just use wood
Natural gas is way cheaper. A cord of wood can burn for 100 hours max, and a cord of wood can cost north of $450CAD. Running a natural gas fire place for 100 hours would cost, at most $147CAD.
