A. This heater has a pilot which must be lit manu-

ally. When lighting the pilot follow these instructions exactly.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neigh- bor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instruc- tions.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the Fire Department

C.Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas con- trol 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. Applying force or any attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

D.Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
