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.
• Always light the pilot, whether for the fi rst time or if the gas supply has run out, with the glass door opened or
removed.
• Tampering with the spill switch can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death (GS28 only).
MODEL GS28 ONLY: SPILL SWITCH
This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back of the chimney adaptor, which senses the change in
temperature and shuts down the gas valve in the event of a blocked or disconnected vent. It acts as a safety
shut-off to prevent a build up of carbon monoxide or an explosion of unburned gases during start up. If the fl ue is
blocked or has no "draw", the spill switch will automatically shut off the supply of gas within about 5-10 minutes.
MODEL GS28 ONLY: VENTING ACTION CHECK
A CHECK FOR CORRECT VENTING ACTION MUST BE MADE BEFORE THE INSTALLED APPLIANCE IS LEFT
WITH THE CUSTOMER. Test in the following manner:
A.
Close all doors and windows in the room / start exhaust fans in the home / turn appliance blower off (if
equipped).
B.
Set controls to "high" and light the appliance.
C.
Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and extend it 1" (25mm) into the hole located above the spill switch
bracket on the adaptor.
D.
Venting action is satisfactory if the fl ame stays lit. Venting action is unsatisfactory if the fl ame extinguishes.
E.
If venting action is unsatisfactory, turn the appliance off, wait 10 minutes and try again. If the match does
not stay lit, turn the appliance off and check for vent blockage or restriction. If necessary, consult with a
qualifi ed inspector.
