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.

building.
• Leave the building immediately.
• 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 or gas supplier.
Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Imme-
diately 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.

control knob to OFF and call your service technician or gas sup-
plier.

ventilation to the room during this time.

• Burn logs in consecutive 1 hour periods raising flame an additional
2" to full flame height for a total of three hours.
