Lighting Instructions
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing 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 supplier, call the fire de-
partment.

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 under water.
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 information, starting in column 1 of this
page. If you don’t smell gas, go to the next step.

to the PILOT position. Press in control knob for five (5)
seconds (see Figure 17).
Note:
You may be running this heater for the first time after
hooking up to gas supply. If so, the control knob may need
to be pressed in for 30 seconds or more. This will allow air
to bleed from the gas system.
WARNING: Burners will come on automatically
within one minute when the selector switch is in the
ON position after the pilot is lit.
1. STOP! Read the safety information, starting in column 1,
of this page.
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully open.
3. Set selector switch in the OFF position.
4. Press in and turn control knob clockwise
to the
OFF position (see Figure 17).
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 fireplace
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.
