Note:
You may be running this fireplace for
the first time after hooking up to gas sup-
ply. If so, the control knob may need to be
pressed in for 30 seconds or more. This will
allow air to bleed from the gas system.
• If control knob does not pop out when
released, contact a qualified service person
or gas supplier for repairs.

Note:
If pilot does not stay lit, refer to
Troubleshooting,
page 29. Also, contact a
qualified service person or gas supplier for
repairs. Until repairs are made, light pilot
with match. To light pilot with match, see
Manual Lighting Procedure
.
7. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds
after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release
control knob.
Note:
If pilot goes out, repeat steps 3
through 7. This fireplace has a safety inter-
lock system. Wait one (1) minute for system
to reset before lighting pilot again.
8. Turn control knob counterclockwise
to desired heating level. The burner should
light. Set control knob to any heat level
between HI and LO.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL
OPERATION
The thermostat used on this fireplace senses the
room temperature. At times the room may exceed
the set temperature. If so, the burner will shut off.
The burner will cycle back on when room tem-
perature drops below the set temperature.
The control knob can be set to any heat level
between HI and LO.
Note:
The thermostat sensing bulb measures
the air near the fireplace cabinet. This may
not always agree with room temperature (de-
pending on housing construction, installation
location, room size, open air temperatures,
etc.). Frequent use of your fireplace will let you
determine your own comfort levels.
