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.

•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighborʼs phone. Follow the gas supplierʼs 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, donʼt try to repair it, call a qualified service tech- nician or gas supplier. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

LIGHTING

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. Also if fireplace opening has vents at the bottom, you must open the vents before operating heater.

•You must operate this heater with a fireplace screen in place. Make sure fireplace screen is closed before run- ning heater.

NOTICE: During initial operation of new heater, burning logs will give off a paper-burning smell. Orange flame will also be pres- ent. 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.

1.STOP! Read the safety information, start- ing in column 1, of this page.

2.Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully open.

3.Set switch in the OFF position.

4.Press in and turn control knob clockwise to the OFF position (see Figure 17, page 17).
