FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE LIGHTING

low these instructions exactly,

sonal 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

a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas
supplier’s instructions.

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 tech-
nician or gas supplier. 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 technician to inspect the appliance and

any gas control which has been under water.
LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
• If fireplace has glass doors,
never operate this heater with

erate heater with doors closed,
heat buildup inside fireplace

across openings of fireplace.
• You must operate this heater
with a fireplace screen in place.

closed before running heater.
NOTICE: During initial operation of
new heater, burning logs will give
off a paper-burning smell. Open
damper or window to vent smell.

their heater with the chimney damper closed.
This will put all the heat into the room. How-
ever, there may be times you will desire the full
flames of the HI heat setting but will find the
heat output excessive. You can open the chim-
ney damper (if you have one) fully or partially
to release some of the heat.

will be hot if heater has been
running.
