lighting the pilot, follow these 
instructions exactly.

 smell all 

around the appliance area for gas.

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

plier, call the fi re department.

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 qualifi ed service 
technician. Force or attempted 
repair may result in a fi re or explo-
sion.

D.

 Do not use this appliance if any 

part has been under water. Im-
mediately call a qualifi ed service

WARNING: 

If you do not follow these instructions 

exactly, a fi re or explosion may result causing property 
damage, personal injury or loss of life.

When you light your fi replace, you may notice:
This gas appliance produces heat which does have an associated 
odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the 
initial 3-4 hour continuous burn on high followed by a second burn 
up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and lubricants 
used in the manufacturing process. 

During this break-in period it is recommended that some windows in 
the house be opened for air circulation. This will help avoid setting 
off smoke detectors, and help eliminate any odors associated with 
the fi replace’s initial burning.

Additionally, for the fi rst few minutes after each lighting, 
vapor may condense and fog the glass and fl ames may be 
blue.  After a few minutes this moisture will disappear and 
within 15-30 minutes the fl ames should become yellow.

Noise caused by metal expanding and contracting as it 
heats up and cools down, similar to the sound produced 
by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the 
operation or longevity of your fi replace.
