LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: You must operate
this fireplace with the screen
in place. Make sure fireplace
screen is installed before run-
ning fireplace.
NOTICE: During initial opera-
tion of new fireplace, burning
logs will give off a paper-burn-
ing smell. Open window to vent
smell. Operate fireplace on HI
position to burn off odor. This
will only last a few hours.
1. STOP! Read the safety information starting
in column 1.
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully
open.
3. Turn control knob clockwise to the
OFF position.
4. Wait five (5) 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 in column 1. If you donʼt
smell gas, go to the next step.
5. Turn control knob counterclockwise
to the PILOT position. Press in control knob
for five (5) seconds (see Figure 41).
Note: You may be running this fireplace for
the first time after hooking up to gas sup-
ply. If so, the control knob may need to be
pressed in for 30 seconds or more. This will
allow air to bleed from the gas system.
• If control knob does not pop out when
released, contact a qualified service person
or gas supplier for repairs.

FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not fol-
low these instructions exactly,
a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, per-
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
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 neighborʼs phone. Follow the gas
supplierʼs 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, donʼt
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 ser-
vice technician to inspect the appliance and to
replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
