OPERATION – UNITS WITH GAS CONTROL VALVE
FOR YOUR SAFETY – READ BEFORE LIGHTING
!!! 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. For
standard units, pilot is located at the right, rear center of the unit.
( SEE FIGURE 4, 5, 24, & 25 )
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 LP 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 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 monoxide gas
during operation. These fumes can be harmful if the appliance is used
in any other than a fully vented fireplace.
!!! WARNING !!!
A fireplace screen must be in place when this appliance is in operation.
Unless other provisions for combustion air are provided, the screen
shall have an opening(s) for introduction of combustion air.
!!! WARNING !!!
When this decorative gas appliance is used in a fireplace equipped
with a combustion air kit and glass doors, the glass doors should
remain open during log set operation. This will maximize the radiant
heat provided to the surrounding area, and minimize overheating of
any valve installation. The glass doors may be closed when the log set
is not in use.
