FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE LIGHTING

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,

appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next

• 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.

INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• If fireplace has glass doors,
never operate this heater with
glass doors closed. If you op
-
erate heater with doors closed,
heat buildup inside fireplace
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, burning 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 op-
erate 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.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL
OPERATION
The thermostat control knob can be set to any
comfort level between HI and LO. The thermostat
will gradually modulate the heat output and flame
height from higher to lower settings or pilot, in
order to maintain the comfort level you select.
The ideal comfort setting will vary by household
depending upon the amount of space to be heated,
the output of the central heating system, etc.
Note: Selecting the HI setting with the control
knob will cause the burner to remain fully on,
without modulating down in most cases.
