OPERATION
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
A. This appliance has a pilot which is lighted by a
spark igniter system. 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.
WARNING: If you don not follow these instructions
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
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, do not try to repair it, call
a qualified service technician. Force or attempt
repair may result in a fire or explosion and may
void your warranty.
D. Do not use the 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.
1. STOP! Read the safety information above on this
label.
2. Turn off all electrical power in the firebox before
installing.
3. Turn the control knob clockwise as far as it will
go to reach the “OFF” position.
4. 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 above
on this label. If you do not smell gas, go to the next
step.
5. Turn the Control Knob counterclockwise to the
“PILOT” position.
6. Push in control knob and hold it in.
7. Light the pilot (mounted in the front of the back
burner) by pushing the spark ignitor button several
times. This will cause a spark at the pilot which will
ignite the gas. If the spark does not work, light the
pilot with a match.
* When lighting the pilot it may take several
seconds for gas to reach the pilot.
8. Continue to hold the control knob in all the way for
about 30 seconds after the pilot is lit.
9. Release the knob and it will pop back out. The pilot
should remain lit. If it goes out, repeat steps 3 thru 9.
* If knob does not pop up when released, stop
and immediately call your service technician or
gas supplier
* If the pilot does not stay lit after several tries,
turn the gas control knob “OFF” and call your
service technician or gas supplier.
7. Turn gas flame height control knob
counterclockwise to “ON”. Turn flame
height control knob counterclockwise to select the
desired comfort level.
IMPORTANT: The gas control knob has an
interlock device. After shutting off all gas flow, the
pilot burner cannot be relit until the thermocouple
has cooled, allowing the electromagnet to be
released (approx. 60 sec.). The gas control knob is
designed to be operated by hand. DO NOT use any
tools during this operation. Damaged knobs may
result in serious injury.
NOTE: A periodic visual check of the pilot flames
(Figure 11) and main burner flames should be
made. The pilot flame should always be present
when the appliance is in operation. See illustration
below.
