To Turn Off Gas To Heater
1. Turn the On/Off switch to Off position or set the thermostat
to lowest setting. (R models only)
2. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace if service is to
be performed.
A. This heater has a pilot which must be lit manually. When
lighting the pilot follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the heater 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 fireplace
• 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, do not try to repair it, call a qualified service
technician. Applying force or any attempted repair may
result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the heater and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
