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.
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.

Shutting Off Appliance
1.
Turn gas shut-off valve clockwise

During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in
period, you may detect an odor from the

ventilation to the room during this time.
To ensure proper curing of the logs:
• Ignite a 2" flame and maintain it for 1
hour.

riods raising the flame an additional
2" to full flame height for a total of
three hours.
