OPERATING FIREPLACE
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.
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.

Lighting Instructions
PILOT AND BURNERS
Remove ember material before cleaning burners and replace
when cleaning is complete.
Burner and controls should be cleaned with compressed air to
remove dust, dirt, or lint.
Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled brush to remove
excess dust, dirt, or lint.
LOGS
If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Installing Log Set, be-
ginning on page 18, to properly replace logs.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any carbon build-up on logs.
Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement Parts on page 23.
Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replace-
ment Parts on page 23.
VENTING SYSTEM
Conduct annual inspection of the venting system following these
guidelines:
1. Check areas of venting system that are exposed to the weather for
corrosion (rust spots or streaks and, in extreme cases, holes). Have
these items replaced immediately by a qualified service person.
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a flashlight into the vent. Re-
move any foreign material.
3. Check for evidence of excessive condensation. Continuous
condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipes, and fittings
and can be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many
elbows, or exterior portions of the system being exposed to
cold weather.
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section or fitting has been
disturbed and loosened. Check mechanical supports such as
wall straps for rigidity.
