operating/lighting instructions

The on-off switch is located on the back of the appliance at the top left corner on models GDS28 and GS28.
When lit for the fi rst time, the appliance will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condi-
tion caused by the "burn-in" of paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again.
Simply open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the room. After extended periods of non-operation such as following
a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by
dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the room.
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:
Close all doors and windows in the room / start exhaust fans in the home / turn appliance blower off (if

C.
