OPERATING FIREPLACE
FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing prop-
erty damage, personal injury or loss of life.
NOTICE: During initial operation of new heater,
paint 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.
CAUTION: Do not try to adjust heating levels by
using the equipment shutoff valve.
A. This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which au-
tomatically lights the pilot. Do not light pilot by hand.
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. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Imme-
diately 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.
