OPERATION
WARNING: If you do not fol-
low these instructions exactly,
a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, per-
sonal 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.
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. 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.
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame
patterns.
Do not allow fans to blow directly
into the fireplace. Do not place a blower inside
the burn area of the firebox. Ceiling fans may
create drafts that alter flame patterns. Sooting
and improper burning will result.
During manufacturing, fabricating and ship-
ping, various components 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, possibly causing headaches
or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and
temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last two
to three hours with the burner at the high-
est setting. Provide maximum ventilation by
opening windows or doors to allow odors to
dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial
break-in will be slight and will disappear with
continued use.
This appliance must not be used with glass
doors in the closed position. This can lead
to pilot outages and severe sooting outside
the fireplace.
Always operate heater with glass doors fully
open.
WARNING: You must oper-
ate this heater with the screen
in place. Make sure screen is
installed before running heater.
NOTICE: During initial operation of
new heater, burning logs will give
off a paper-burning smell. Orange
flame will also be present. Open
damper or window to vent smell.
This will only last a few hours.
1. STOP! Read the safety information above.
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully
open.
3. Push in control knob slightly and turn
clockwise
to the OFF position.
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.
Then smell for gas around heater and
near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP!
Follow "B" in the safety information above.
If you do not smell gas, go to the next step.
5. Push in control knob slightly and turn
counterclockwise
to the PILOT
position. Press in control knob for five (5)
seconds.
