OPERATION
WARNING!
If you do not follow these instructions exactly a fire or explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small amount of air will be in the lines. When first lighting the
burner, it will take a few seconds for the lines to purge themselves of this air.
Once the purging is complete, the burner will light and operate as indicated in the instruction manual. Subsequent
lighting of the appliance will not require such pruging unless the gas supply has been disconnected.
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:
A. This appliance must be lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.
B. Before operating smell all around the appliance area for gas and next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
C. Use only your hand to turn the manual gas control valve. Never use tools. If the valve will not turn by hand,
do not 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 replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been underwater.
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 neighbour’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Locate the manual gas control valve.
2. Place the firestarter near the burner ports on top of the burner. Light the firestarter. For a Natural Gas unit,
turn on the ON/OFF valve slowly at the unit. For a LP unit, turn the valve in the LP tank counter clockwise all
the way and then turn on the ON/OFF valve slowly at the unit.
3. If the burner does not light before the fire starter goes out, immediately turn the gas off.
4. Wait at least five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas including near the base of the unit. If you
smell gas, STOP! Refer to the safety information in the owner’s manual. If you don’t smell gas, repeat step 2.
TO TURN OFF GAS:
Turn the ON/OFF valve to the off position at the unit for Natural Gas unit.
For LP unit, turn the ON/Off valve to the off postion at the unit and then turn the valve on the LP tank to the
OFF position clockwise.
Note
: The propane regulator in this appliance is equipped with a low flow protection device. Unless the
propane cylinder valve is opened before the appliance valve, the gas flow will be reduced resulting in a very
small flame. To reset this device, shut off the appliance valve, then the propane cylinder valve. Next, diconnect
the regulator adaptor from the tank and then reconnect. Follow the lighting procedure ensuring the propane
cylinder valve is opened before the unit is.
