A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand.
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 electrical 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. 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. 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 to replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which has been under water.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
WARNING
• Any glass doors shall be opened when the appliance is in operation.
• A fireplace screen must be in place when the appliance is operating and the screen shall have an opening(s) for
introduction of combustion air.
1. STOP! Read the safety information or other side of plate.
2. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise
to "OFF". Do not force.
3. Turn gas flow adjustment knob clockwise
either
manually or with remote control to "OFF".
4. Wait ten (10) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for
gas, including near floor. If you smell gas, STOP! follow "B"
in the safety information on other side. If you do not smell
gas, go to the next step.
5. Find pilot - the pilot is attached to the rear-right of the burner.
6. Turn gas control knob counterclockwise
to "IGN".
7. Depress and turn gas control knob counterclockwise
to "PILOT". A spark is produced when gas
control knob is turned between "IGN" and "PILOT".
Repeatedly depress and turn gas control knob between
"IGN" and "PILOT" until pilot is ignited. Continue to hold
the control knob in for about one (1) minute after pilot is lit.
Release knob and it will pop back up. Pilot should remain
lit. If it goes out repeat steps 2 through 7.
•
If knob does not pop up when released, stop and
immediately call your service technician or gas supplier.
•
If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the
gas control knob to "OFF" and call your service.
8. Attention! Gas control has an INTERLOCK latching device.
When the pilot is initially lit and the safety magnet is
energized (pilot stays on) the INTERLOCK latching device
becomes operative. If the gas control is turned to the "OFF"
position or gas flow to the appliance is shut off, the pilot
cannot be relighted until the safety magnet is de-energized
(approximately 60 seconds). There will be an audible "click"
when the safety magnet in the gas control is de-energized.
Pilot can now be relighted. Repeat step 2 through 7.
9. Turn gas control knob counterclockwise
to "ON".
10. Turn gas flow adjustment knob counterclockwise
either manually or with remote control between
"OFF" and "ON" to adjust flame height.
