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.

Control Knob

 WARNING: You must operate

this fireplace with the fireplace
screen in place. Make sure fire-
place screen is installed before
running fireplace.

NOTICE: During initial operation
of new fireplace, burning logs
will give off a paper-burning
smell. Open window to vent smell.
Operate fireplace on HI position
to burn off odor. This will only
last a few hours.

Note:

 You may be running this fire-

place for the first time after hooking
up to gas supply. If so, the control
knob may need to be pressed in for
30 seconds. This will allow air to
bleed from the gas system.
• If control knob does not pop up

when released, contact a qualified
service person or gas supplier for
repairs.

6.

With control knob pressed in, push
down and release ignitor button. This
will light pilot. The pilot is attached
to the front of burner. If needed, keep
pressing ignitor button until pilot
lights.

Note:

 If pilot does not stay lit, refer

to Troubleshooting, pages 20 through
22. Also 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 18.

7.

Keep control knob pressed in for 30
seconds after lighting pilot. After 30
seconds, release control knob.

Note:

 If pilot goes out, repeat steps

3 through 7. This fireplace has a
safety interlock system. Wait one (1)
minute before lighting pilot again.

8.

Turn control knob counterclockwise

 to desired heating level. The

main burner should light. Set control
knob to any heat level between HI
and LO.
