For Your Safety Read Before Lighting (Cont.)
Lighting Instructions
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 techni-
cian 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 to replace any part of the control system
and any gas control which has been under water.
5. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for
gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Fol-
low “B” in the safety information, starting in column 2,
page 18. If you don’t smell gas, go to the next step.
6. Press in and turn control knob counterclockwise
to the PILOT position. Press in control knob for five (5)
seconds (see Figure 28).
Note:
You may be running this heater for the first time
after hooking up to gas supply. If so, the control knob may
need to be pressed in for 30 seconds or less. This will allow
air to bleed from the gas system.
7. With control knob pressed in, press and release ignitor
button. This will light pilot. The pilot is attached to the
front burner. If needed, keep pressing ignitor button un-
til pilot lights.
Note:
If pilot does not stay lit, contact a qualified service
person or gas supplier for repairs. Until repairs are made,
light pilot with match. To light pilot with match, see Manual
Lighting Procedure, page 20.
WARNING: Burners will come on automatically
within one minute when the selector switch is in the
ON position after the pilot is lit.
1. STOP! Read the safety information, starting in column 2,
page 18.
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully open.
3. Set selector switch in the OFF position.
4. Press in and turn control knob clockwise to the
OFF position (see Figure 28).
WARNING
If fireplace has glass doors, never operate this
heater with glass doors closed. If you operate
heater with doors closed, heat buildup inside fire-
place will cause glass to burst. Make sure there are
no obxtructions across openings of fireplace.
You must operate this heater with a fireplace screen
in place. Make sure fireplace screen is closed
before running heater.
NOTICE: During initial operation of new heater, burn-
ing logs will give off a paper-burning smell. Orange
flame will also be present. Open damper or window to
vent smell. This will only last a few hours.
Note:
Home owners generally prefer to operate their heater
with the chimney damper closed. This will put all the heat into
the room. However, 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 chimney damper (if you have one)
fully or partially to release some of the heat.
WARNING: Damper handle will be hot if heater
has been running.
