WARNINGS

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,

service or maintenance can cause injury or

property damage. For assistance or additional

information, consult a qualified installer, service

agency or your gas supplier.

Operation of this appliance when not connected

to a properly installed and maintained venting

system can result in carbon monoxide (CO)

poisoning and possible death.

Carbon monoxide poisoning – early signs of

carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu

with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you

have these signs, get fresh air at once! Have

the heater inspected by a qualified service

technician. Some people are more affected by

carbon monoxide than others. These include

pregnant women, people with heart or lung

disease or anemia, those under the influence

of alcohol and those at high altitudes.

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE

1. Turn off the "ON/OFF" rocker switch and/or thermostat (if in-

stalled) to its lowest setting.

2. Turn off electric power to the appliance if service is to be

performed.

3. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise
to "OFF." Do not force.

This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be

installed so there are provisions for adequate combustion and

ventilation air.

SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

To turn off the burner, turn the rocker switch to "OFF" or adjust

the thermostat (if installed) to a setting below room temperature.

The pilot will remain lit for future burner ignition. For complete

shutdown, see "TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE" above.

Flame Color and Behavior

Your Vintage™ gas stove is designed for maximum heating efficiency.
Therefore, upon lighting of the main burner the flames will be semi-
transparent or “bluish.” After 10-20 minutes of operation the logs will
heat up and the flames will become a yellow/orange color.
Adjusting the stove to cause the flames to turn orange sooner may result
in poor combustion, sooting and a hazardous situation. See Figure 31
showing proper flame appearance.

When testing for proper operation - If an optional thermostat is installed
adjust it to its highest temperature setting. Visually determine that main
burner gas is burning properly: i.e., no floating, lifting or flashback.
Adjust the primary air shutter(s) as required. Check for proper main
burner operation at both high and low flame.
