LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: You must operate
this fireplace with the screen
in place. Make sure fireplace
screen is installed before run-
ning fireplace.
NOTICE: During initial opera-
tion of new fireplace, burning
logs will give off a paper-burn-
ing smell. Open window to vent

2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is
fully open.
3. Turn control knob clockwise to the
OFF position.
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.
Then smell for gas, including near the floor.
If you smell gas, STOP! Follow “B” in the

for five (5) seconds (see Figure 27).
Note: You may be running this fireplace for
the first time after hooking up to gas sup-

qualified service person or gas supplier for
repairs. Until repairs are made, light pilot
with match. To light pilot with match, see
Manual Lighting Procedure on page 20.

after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release

to reset before lighting pilot again.
8. Turn control knob counterclockwise
to ON position. The burner should light.
