FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING ICON

G 001

 WARNING

If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion
may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot,

follow these instructions exactly.

B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell

next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas

supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob

will not push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified service
technician or gas supplier. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a

qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been under water.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING ICON

G 001

 WARNING

• If fireplace has glass doors, never operate this heater with glass doors

closed. If you operate heater with doors closed, heat buildup inside
fireplace will cause glass to burst. Also if fireplace opening has vents at the
bottom, you must open the vents before operating heater.

• You must operate this heater with a fireplace screen in place. Make sure

fireplace screen is closed before running heater.

NOTICE

During initial operation of new heater, burning logs will give off a paper-
burning smell. Orange flame will also be present. Open damper or window
to vent smell. This will only last a few hours.

Note:

 Homeowners generally prefer to operate their heater with the chimney damper

closed. This will put all the heat into the room. However there may be times you will
desire the full flames of the Hi heat setting but will find the heat output excessive. You
can open the chimney damper (if you have one) fully or partially to release some of the
heat. WARNING: Damper handle will be hot if heater has been running.
