FIRST FIRE

When operated for the first few times, the appliance will emit some odor and fumes. This is due to the heat from the appliance evaporating the 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 as smoke alarm may sound. Run the appliance for at least 6 hours at maximum setting with blower set to “OFF” to allow paint to cure (after the installer has checked to ensure the fan is operational). Smoke and fumes caused by the curing process may cause discomfort to some individuals.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS - CAUTION

WARNING : If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result, causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Do not operate the appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of broken glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.

This appliance has a pilot which must be ignited using the sparker located next to the appliance valve controls. When lighting the pilot, follow the start-up procedures EXACTLY. See next page or rating plate for complete lighting instructions.

1.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.

2.IF YOU SMELL GAS, follow the instructions on the front cover of this manual.

3.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 of gas control knob may result in a fire or explosion.

4.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.
