OPERATION
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 supplier,
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. 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.
WARNING: You must oper-
ate this heater with the screen
in place. Make sure screen is
installed before running heater.
NOTICE: During initial operation
of new heater, burning logs will
give off a paper-burning smell.
Orange flame will also be pres-
ent. Open damper or window to
vent smell. This will only last a
few hours.
1. STOP! Read the safety information above.
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully
open.
3. Push in the control knob slightly and turn
clockwise
to the OFF position.
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.
Then smell for gas around heater and near
the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow
"B" in the safety information above. If you
do not smell gas, go to the next step.
5. Push in the control knob slightly and turn
counterclockwise
to the PILOT
position. Press in control knob for five (5)
seconds (see Figure 24).
Note: The first time that the heater is oper-
ated after connecting the gas supply,the
control knob should be pressed for about
thirty (30) seconds. This will allow air to
bleed from the gas system. If pilot does not
stay lit, refer to Troubleshooting, pages 26
though 29. Also contact a qualified service
technician or gas supplier for repairs. Until
repairs are made, light pilot with match.
• If control knob does not pop up when
