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 High 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.
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.
