•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.

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.
WARNING: Do not operate heater between PILOT and HI positions.
CAUTION: Do not try to adjust heating levels by using the equipment shutoff valve
