homes, or in recreational vehicles.

water. Immediately call a qualified technician to inspect
the appliance and replace any part of the control sys-
tem and any gas control which has been under water.

WARNING: During manufacturing, fabricating, and
shipping, various components of this appliance are
treated with certain oils, films, or bonding agents.

sibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation.

initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with
the burner at its highest setting. Provide maximum
ventilation by opening windows, doors, and the
chimney flue to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors
remaining after this initial break-in will be slight and
will disappear with continued use.
