NOTE: Remove any excessive pipe
compound from the connections.
Excessive pipe compound can set off
electronic sniffers.
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.
