FOR YOUR SAFETY

READ BEFORE LIGHTING
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.
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 fl oor
because some gas is heavier than
air and will settle on the fl oor.
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
from a neighbor's phone. Follow
the gas supplier's instructions.
WARNING:
DO NOT CONNECT 110 VAC TO
THE CONTROL VALVE.
Improper installation, adjustment, al-
teration, service or maintenance can
cause injury or property damage. Re-
fer to the owner's information manual
provided with this appliance.
This appliance needs fresh air for
safe operation and must be installed
so there are provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
If not installed, operated, and main-
tained in accordance with the man-
ufacturer's instructions, this product
could expose you to substances in fuel
or fuel combustion which are known to
the State of California to cause can-
cer, birth defects, or other reproduc-

For additional information on operating your
Hearth & Home Technologies fi replace, please refer to www.fi replaces.com.
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.
• If you cannot reach your gas sup-
plier, call the fi re 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 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
technician to inspect the appliance
and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
