FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing 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 electrical switch;
do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neigh-
bor'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 techni-
cian to inspect the appliance and to replace any part
of the control system and any gas control which has
been under water.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: For easy access to valve for lighting pilot, remove branch
log and middle log from burner assembly before lighting.
1. STOP! Read the safety
information.
2. Push in gas control knob
slightly and turn clockwise
to the “OFF”
position. Do not force.
3. Turn gas flow adjustment
knob clockwise
either manually or with
remote control to “OFF”.
4. Wait ten (10) minutes to
clear out any gas. Then
smell for gas, including
near the floor. If you smell
gas STOP! Follow “B” in
the safety information. If
you do not smell gas, go to
the next step.
5. Find pilot - the pilot is attached to rear of burner.
6. Turn gas knob counterclockwise to “IGN”.
7. Depress and turn gas control knob counterclockwise
to “PILOT”. A spark is produced when gas
control knob is turned between “IGN” and PILOT”.
Repeatedly depress and turn gas control knob between
“IGN” and PILOT” until pilot is ignited. Continue to hold
the control knob in for about one (1) minute after pilot is
lit. Release knob and it will pop back up. Pilot should
remain lit. If it goes out, repeat steps 2 through 7.
• If the knob does not pop out when released, stop and
immediately call your service technician or gas supplier.
• If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the
gas control knob to OFF and call your service
technician.
8. Attention! Gas control has an INTERLOCK latching
device. When the pilot is initially lit and the safety magnet
is energized (pilot stays on ) the INTERLOCK latching
device becomes operative. If the gas control is turned to
the “OFF” position or gas flow to the appliance is shut
off, the pilot cannot be relighted until the safety magnet is
de-energized (approximately 60 seconds). There will be
an audible “click” when he safety magnet in the gas control
is de-energized. Pilot can now be relighted. Repeat steps
2 through 7.
9. Turn gas control knob counterclockwise to
“ON”.

either manually or with remote control between “OFF”
and “ON” to adjust flame height.
