Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bainbridge II Dual Fuel Freestanding Vent Free Stove Model GSD3033Customer Review: Instruction Problems Summary: 3 Stars
I tried to order a different stove from Home Depot, but they were out of stock online. While searching for that same stove from a retailer online, I came across this stove and decided to try it because of the cost.
Some of the instructions for setup are not clear. For example, removing the grill to get the logs out. Simply adding the first step of removing the screws on the top left and right of the grill would have been helpful. With a product of this nature, a consumer does not want to do anything in unpacking that would make the product not work.
Another problem with the instructions is that they do not give any indication of where to put the battery. The instructions say, "This heater is equipped with an electronic piezo control system. This system requires AAA batteries (provided)." The first problem is that only one battery is included, so where are the other batteries if needed? The second problem is that the instructions don't give any information as to where the battery should be installed. I called the 800 number for the manufacturer four different times and received a voice message and also sent a message on their web site. The last time that I called, I selected a different option instead of technical support with the "leave a message and we will call back." Technical support did call back and confirmed the battery installation instructions below.
Fortunately, I read in these reviews that another customer (Nice Guy) had the same problem. "This one looks nice and sets up easily - except that the instructions didn't say where the battery for the electronic starter went. A phone call answered that question easily (you unscrew the starter button)." Without this information, I would have been lost until the manufacturer called back. To expand on this information:
1. Unscrew the ignitor (behind the small door at the bottom of the unit on the front).
2. Insert the battery with the + side facing toward the front. When you insert the battery, it doesn't seem to fit. I learned from trial and error.
3. Screw the ignitor back on and push the ignitor button in. You should hear a clicking noise.
My heater is supposed to be installed tomorrow, so I am waiting to see how everything else works. I'm hoping for a better experience using the stove than I had with the instructions.
