IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (CONT'D)
WARNING
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the appliance and replace any part of the control system
and any gas control that has been under water.
All units with gas control valves must be lit by a Safety Pilot. The
pilot is located at the right, rear of the unit.
Follow these instructions exactly when lighting the appliance.
BEFORE LIGHTING, smell around the appliance area for gas. Be
sure to smell next to the floor, as propane gas is heavier than air
and will settle to the floor. Use only your hand to rotate the gas
control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do
not try to repair it; call a qualified service technician or installer.
Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
WARNING
All gas burning appliances produce smoke and carbon mon-
oxide gas during operation. These fumes can be harmful if the
appliance is used in any other than a fully vented fireplace.
WARNING
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires that the
chimney flue damper, when used with decorative gas log
sets, be welded open or completely removed. In the Com-
monwealth of Massachusetts, this appliance must be in-
stalled by a licensed plumber or gasfitter.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or main-
tenance, can cause property damage, personal injury or loss
of life. Refer to the owner’s information manual, provided with
this appliance. Installation and service must be performed by
a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas
because of the odorant put in the propane gas.
That’s your signal to go into immediate action!
•
Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone.
Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
•
Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do
that IMMEDIATELY.
•
Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
•
Propane gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas
such as basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas
leak, keep out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until
firefighters declare them to be safe.
•
Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained propane gas
service person and the fire department. Even though you may
not continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not
re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
•
Finally,
let the service man and firefighters check for escaped
gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly
trained propane gas service people should repair the leak, then
check and relight the gas appliance for you.
