OPERATING FIREPLACE

FOR YOUR SAFETY 

READ BEFORE LIGHTING

 WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions 

exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property 

damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A.  This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which au-

tomatically lights the pilot. Do not light pilot by hand.

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.

C.  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.
