LIGHTING

INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING
FIREPLACE

FOR YOUR SAFETY

READ BEFORE

LIGHTING

 WARNING: If you do not fol-

low these instructions exactly, a
fire or explosion may result caus-
ing 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 sup-

plier, 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 un-
der water.

 WARNING: You must operate

this heater with the front window
assembly in place. Make sure
front window assembly is in place
before running heater.

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

column 1.

2.

Make sure equipment shutoff valve
is fully open.

3.

Set switch to OFF position.

4.

Press in and turn control knob clock-
wise 

  to the OFF position.

5.

Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any
gas. Then smell for gas, including
near the floor. If you smell gas,
STOP! Follow “B” in the safety in-
formation. If you don’t smell gas, go
to the next step.

6.

Press in and turn control knob coun-
terclockwise  

  to the PILOT

position. Press in control knob for five
(5) seconds (see Figure 27).
