INITIAL START UP INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING : If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion
may result, causing property damage, personal injury or loss of
life.
This appliance has a pilot which must be lit by hand using the sparker located next
to the appliance valve controls. When lighting the pilot, follow the start-up
procedures exactly.
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.
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, do not try to repair it. Call a qualified service
technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell
next to the floor, because some gases are heavier than air and will settle on the
floor. IF YOU SMELL GAS, follow the instruction on the front cover of this
manual.

INITIAL OPERATION
• Check that the appliance is properly vented and connected to the gas supply.
• Check that the logs and branches are properly placed.
• Check all external parts, such as grills, door and control cover are properly attached and
fastened.
• Check to ensure the pressure relief door on top of the firebox and behind the upper
louvers is closed and properly sealed on the gasket.
NOTE : When operated for the first few times, the appliance will emit some odors and
fumes. This is due to the evaporation of oils and solvents used in fabricating the
appliance. Close off the room to the rest of the house and open all windows. Keep
the room well ventilated. Operate the appliance continuously on high setting for at
least 4 to 6 hours. This will ‘burn-in’ the appliance and reduce the chance of odors
and fumes reoccurring the next time the appliance is used.
