WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing prop-
erty damage, personal 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 neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de-
partment.
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ
BEFORE LIGHTING
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.

Clockwise

gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Fol-
low “B” in the safety information, column 1. If you don’t
smell gas, go to the next step.
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 obstructions 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.
