Purge all gas lines with the glass door removed. Assure
that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before closing
the door.
The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the
top right corner on model GDS20.
When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight
odour for a few hours.
This is a normal temporary condition caused by the cur-
ing of the logs and the "burn-in" of internal paints and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will
not occur again.
OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
Simply open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
After extended periods of non-operation such as follow-
ing a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace
may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by
dust particles burning off. Open a window to sufficiently
ventilate the room.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: if you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may
result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame
to stabilize after ignition.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
TO TURN OFF GAS
1. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace if service is to
be performed.
5. Find pilot located under the left side of the back log.
6. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise
to pilot.
7. Depress and hold the gas knob while lighting the pilot
with the push button igniter. Keep knob fully depressed
for one minute, then release. If the pilot does not con-
tinue to burn, repeat steps 3 through 6.
8. With the pilot lit (check pilot indicator light), turn the
gas knob counter-clockwise to on.
9. If equipped with a remote ON-OFF switch, main burner
may not come on when you turn the valve to ON. The
remote switch must be in the ON position to ignite the
burner.
10. Turn on all electric power to the fireplace.
When lighting and re-lighting, the gas knob cannot be
turned from PILOT to OFF unless the knob is depressed.
1. STOP! Read the safety information on the operating
label.
2. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.
3. Turn the gas knob clockwise
to off.
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell
gas including near the floor, STOP! Follow "B" on the op-
erating label. If you don't smell gas go to the next step.
WARNING: The gas valve has an interlock device which will not allow the pilot burner to be lit until the
thermocouple has cooled. Allow approximately 60 seconds for the thermocouple to cool before attempting to
re-light.
2. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clock-
wise to off. Do not force.
A. This fireplace is equipped with a pilot which must be lit
by hand while following these instructions exactly.
B. Before operating smell all around the fireplace area for
gas and next to the floor because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Turn off all gas to the fireplace.
• Open windows.
• 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 neighbour'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 turn by hand,
do not try to repair it. Call a qualified service technician.
Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explo-
sion.
D. Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the fireplace and replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which has been under wa-
ter.
