FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result

causing property damage, personal 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 electrical switch;

do not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neigh-

bor'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 techni-
cian to inspect the appliance and to replace any part
of the control system and any gas control which has
been under water.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

Note:

 For easy access to valve for lighting pilot, remove branch

log and middle log from burner assembly before lighting.

1. STOP! Read the safety

information.

2. Push in gas control knob

slightly and turn clockwise

 to the “OFF”

position. Do not force.

3. Turn gas flow adjustment

knob clockwise 
either manually or with
remote control to “OFF”.

4. Wait ten (10) minutes to

clear out any gas. Then
smell for gas, including
near the floor. If you smell
gas STOP! Follow “B” in
the safety information. If
you do not smell gas, go to
the next step.

5. Find pilot - the pilot is attached to rear of burner.

6. Turn gas knob counterclockwise 

  to “IGN”.

7. Depress and turn gas control knob counterclockwise

  to “PILOT”.  A spark is produced when gas

control knob is turned between “IGN” and PILOT”.
Repeatedly depress and turn gas control knob between
“IGN” and PILOT” until pilot is ignited. Continue to hold
the control knob in for about one (1) minute after pilot is
lit. Release knob and it will pop back up.  Pilot should
remain lit. If it goes out, repeat steps 2 through 7.

• If the knob does not pop out when released, stop and

immediately call your service technician or gas supplier.

• If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries,  turn the

gas control knob to OFF and call your service
technician.

8. Attention! Gas control has an INTERLOCK latching

device. When the pilot is initially lit and the safety  magnet
is energized (pilot stays on ) the INTERLOCK latching
device becomes operative. If the  gas control is turned to
the “OFF” position or gas flow to the appliance is shut
off, the pilot cannot be relighted until the safety magnet is
de-energized (approximately 60 seconds). There will be
an audible “click” when he safety magnet in the gas control
is de-energized. Pilot can now be relighted. Repeat steps
2 through 7.

9. Turn gas control knob counterclockwise 

 to

“ON”.

10. Turn gas flow adjustment knob counterclockwise 

either manually or with remote control between “OFF”
and “ON” to adjust flame height.

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE

1. Turn gas flow adjustment knob clockwise 

 either

manually or with remote control to “OFF”.

2.

Push in gas control control knob slightly and turn clockwise

 to “OFF”. Do not force.
