IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
During manufacturing, fabrication, and shipping, various com-
ponents of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films, or
bonding agents. These chemicals ARE NOT harmful, but may
produce annoying smoke and smells, as they are burned off,
during the initial operation of the appliance. This may possibly
cause headaches, and eye or lung irritation. This is a normal
and temporary occurrence. The initial break-in period should
last three to four hours. During this period, provide maximum
ventilation by opening a window or door, to allow odors to dis-
sipate. Any odor remaining after this initial break-in period, will
be slight and will disappear with continued use.
NEVER PLACE ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL WITHIN
TWENTY-FOUR (24) INCHES FROM THE FRONT OF THE
FIREPLACE ENCLOSURE.
WARNING
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 that has been under water.
All units with gas control valves must be lit by a Safety Pilot. For
standard units, the pilot is located at the right, rear, center of the
unit.
Follow these instructions exactly when lighting the appliance.
BEFORE LIGHTING, smell around the appliance area for gas. Be
sure to smell next to the floor, as L.P. gas is heavier than air and
will settle to the floor. Use only your hand to rotate the gas control
knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try
to repair it; call a qualified service technician or installer. Force or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
WARNING
All gas burning appliances produce smoke and carbon mon-
oxide gas during operation. These fumes can be harmful if the
appliance is used in any other than a fully vented fireplace.
WARNING
The State of Massachusetts requires that the chimney flue
damper, when used with decorative gas log sets, be welded
open or completely removed. In the Commonwealth of Mas-
sachusetts, this appliance must be installed by a licensed
plumber or gas fitter.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or main-
tenance, can cause property damage, personal injury or loss
of life. Refer to the owner’s information manual, provided with
this appliance. Installation and service must be performed by a
qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas
because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas.
That’s your signal to go into immediate action!
•
Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone.
Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
•
Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do
that IMMEDIATELY.
•
Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
•
LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such as
basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak, keep
out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until firefighters
declare them to be safe.
•
Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained LP-Gas service
person and the fire department. Even though you may not
continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not
re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
•
Finally,
let the service man and firefighters check for escaped
gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly
trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then
check and relight the gas appliance for you.
