How do I turn on my electric fireplace ?

Q. OHK...So there is a knob that has Off-On-Ign-Pilot and then another to the right that has nothing on it but it turns...maybe for the high-medium-low...idk but anyways it's supposedly on because i turned something in the wall, but now idk what to do help !(: I need to get this thingy on lol(: 10 pnts for whoever gives me the answer that may help !(: Thanks(:


Answer
An electric fire place usually comes with a key that is used to turn a knob near the fire place letting gas in. Turning the knob to the left closes the gas, turning it to the right opens the gas, a switch is for the fire to be turned on after the gas is on. If the switch doesn't work then maybe BEFORE you turn on the gas, light a match (BE CAREFUL) and leave it in the fire place where the gas comes in. THEN, turn on the gas which will light the fire place. PLEASE BE CAREFUL because there are a lot of accounts where people light the match thinking that the gas is off when it is really on and end up burning themselves. I would recommend talking to a Professional about this issue before attempting anything.

Any suggestions how to start my fireplace that is neither gas or electric?




You Know W


We just bought a house and the fireplace is neither gas or electric. Do I just put wood in the fireplace and open the damper. This is the first house I ever owned with a fireplace. We live in Southern California and it only gets cold in the winter. But I just want to prepare myself. Don't want to burn the house down or smoke the house if you get my drift. Any suggestions how to start my fireplace that is neither gas or electric?


Answer
You would build a fire there just like anywhere else (ie: campfire). Start with rolled up paper or twigs and light that, when it's burning add medium sized pieces of wood, when that is burning well add a big log or two. The lighter stuff will burn up leaving the big logs smoldering for awhile. Make sure your damper is open when you do this! Also close your damper in the warmer months so that you don't leak a lot of air conditioned air to the outside.
