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 techni-
cian 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.

1.

STOP! Read the safety information, starting in column 2,
page 20.

2.

Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully open.

3.

Set selector switch in the OFF position.

 WARNING: Burners will come on automatically

within one minute when the selector switch is in the
ON position after the pilot is lit.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

 WARNING

• If fireplace has glass doors, never operate this

heater with glass doors closed. If you operate
heater with doors closed, heat buildup inside fire-
place 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, burn-
ing 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:

 Home owners 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.

Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for
gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Fol-
low “B” in the safety information, starting in column 2,
page 19. If you don’t smell gas, go to the next step.

need to be pressed in for 30 seconds or more. This will al-

7.

button. This will light pilot. The pilot is attached to the front
burner. If needed, keep pressing ignitor button until pilot
lights.

Note:

 If pilot does not stay lit, contact a qualified service

person or gas supplier for repairs. Until repairs are made,
light pilot with match. To light pilot with match, see Manual
Lighting Procedure
, page 22.

8.

Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting
pilot. After 30 seconds, release control knob.
• If control knob does not pop out when released, contact

a qualified service person or gas supplier for repairs.

Note:

 If pilot goes out, repeat steps 4 through 8.

9.

Slightly push in and turn control knob counterclockwise

 to the ON position.

10. Wait one minute and switch selector switch to the ON posi-

tion to light burners. 

Note:

using GWMT1 or GWMS2 optional accessories.

11. Set flame adjustment knob to any level between HI and LO.
