VARIABLE CONTROL OPERATION
The variable control valve can be set to any heat setting and
flame height desired, by simply turning the control knob until
that setting is attained. Even the lowest setting provides realis-
tic, dancing yellow flames. Selecting higher settings produces
greater heat output. This results in increased heating comfort.

MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing prop-
erty 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 de-
partment.
