VARIABLE CONTROL
OPERATION
The variable control valve can be set to any heat setting and
flame height desired, by simply turning the control knob until
that setting is attained. Even the lowest setting provides realis-
tic, dancing yellow flames. Selecting higher settings produces
greater heat output. This results in increased heating comfort.
1. STOP! Read the safety information above.
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully open.
3. Press in and 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 above. If you don’t smell gas,
go to the next step.
NOTICE: During initial operation of new heater, burning
logs will give off a paper-burning smell. Open damper or
window to vent smell. This will only last a few hours.

FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE LIGHTING
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
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, 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. Slightly depress and turn control knob counterclockwise
C-clockwise
to the PILOT position. Keep control knob pressed in
for five (5) seconds (see Figure 31).
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.
This will allow air to bleed from the gas system.
6. With control knob pressed in, press and release ignitor but-
ton. This will light pilot. The pilot is attached to the burner
(see Figure 18, page 10). If needed, keep pressing ignitor
button until pilot lights.
Note:
If pilot does not light, 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 17.
7. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting
pilot. After 30 seconds, release control knob.
Note:
If pilot goes out, repeat steps 3 through 7.
• If control knob does not pop out when released, contact
a qualified service person or gas supplier for repairs.
8. Slightly depress and turn control knob counterclockwise
C-clockwise
to the HI position. The burner should light. Set
control knob to any heat level between HI and LO.
