PURGE ALL GAS LINES WITH THE GLASS DOOR OPEN. ASSURE THAT A CONTINUOUS GAS FLOW IS AT THE BURNER BEFORE CLOSING THE DOOR.
ALLOW SEVERAL MINUTES (5-15) FOR THE FLAME TO STABILIZE AFTER IGNITION.
MODEL GS60 ONLY: SPILL SWITCH
This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back of the chimney adapter, which senses the change in temperature and shuts down the gas valve in the event 
of a blocked or disconnected vent. It acts as a safety
explosion of unburnt gases during start up. If the flue 
is blocked or has no "draw", the spill switch will auto-
matically shut off the supply of gas within about
minutes.
TAMPERING WITH THE SWITCH CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) POISONING AND POSSI- BLE DEATH.

A CHECK FOR CORRECT VENTING ACTION MUST BE 
MADE BEFORE THE INSTALLED STOVE IS LEFT WITH 
THE CUSTOMER. Test in the following manner:

exhaust fans in the home / turn fireplace blower off (if equipped).
2. Set controls to "high" and light the unit.
3. Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and |
| |
extend it 1" into the hole located above |
| |
the spill switch bracket on the adapter. |
| |
