OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS — MILLIVOLT
WARNING: NEVER
use open flame
to check for gas leaks.
WARNING: If using a soap and water
solution to test for leaks, DO NOT
spray solution onto control body.
WARNING:
The control has an interlock device that does not allow the lighting of the
fireplace up to the moment the safety device of the flame has not interrupted the gas
flow. After that period of time (when the magnet is closed), it is possible to start the
lighting operation.
The gas control knob is designed to be operated by hand. DO NOT use any tools during this
operation. Damaged knobs may result in serious injury.
