Operating Instructions
Commissioning, Lighting
NOTE! Odours may be present when using the stove for the
first time:
When used for the first time and hot, the appliance will
emit a harmless, non-toxic odour. It is recommended that
the room should be thoroughly ventilated (by opening doors
or windows) during initial use. The gas is not toxic, but the
room should be thoroughly aired out. During first use, it may
take a short time before the gas tube is cleared of air, but
subsequently the appliance should function as described in
the lighting instruction.
Prior to lighting:
1. Check the area around the appliance for possible gas leaks/
odors. Especially check near the floor, since propane is
heavier than air and would gather close to the floor in the
event of a leakage. (Note: Natural gas is lighter than air and
will gather under the ceiling). If you detect an odor of gas,
see Warnings under Safety Precautions on page 5.
• Do not use the appliance if any part of it has been
submerged in water. Call for service to replace the parts
that have been in water.

is automatically lit when there is a call for heat by actuating
either the valve controls or a remote control handset. The valve
and burner controls are located under the firebox behind the
access door. See fig. 16.

2. Indicator Lamp:
