OPERATION
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not fol-
low these instructions exactly, a
fire or explosion may result caus-
ing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
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.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do
not use any phone in your building.
• 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 technician. 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.
WARNING: You must operate
this stove with the door in place.
Make sure door and screen are
installed before running stove.
NOTICE: During initial operation of
new stove, burning logs will give
off a paper-burning smell. Orange
flame will also be present. Open
damper or window to vent smell.
This will only last a few hours.
1. STOP! Read the safety information above.
2. Turn handle and open stove door.
3. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully
open.
4. Push in control knob slightly and turn
clockwise
to the OFF position (see
Figure 19).
5. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.
Then smell for gas around stove and near
the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow
"B" in the safety information above. If you
do not smell gas, go to the next step.
6. Push in control knob slightly and turn coun-
terclockwise
to the PILOT position.
Press in control knob for five (5) seconds.
Note: The first time that the stove is op-
erated after connecting the gas supply,
the control knob should be pressed for
about thirty (30) seconds. This will allow
air to bleed from the gas system. If pilot
does not stay lit, refer to Troubleshooting,
pages 26 though 29. Also contact a quali-
fied service technician or gas supplier for
repairs. Until repairs are made, light pilot
with match.
• If control knob does not pop up when
released, contact a qualified service
technician or gas supplier for repairs.
7. With control knob pressed in, press
in and release ignitor button. This will
light pilot. The pilot is attached to the
rear of the burner. If needed, keep
pressing ignitor button until pilot lights.
