FOR YOUR SAFETY READ

exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing prop-
erty 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

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's
phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de-
partment.
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 techni-
cian or gas supplier. 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 technician to inspect
the appliance and to replace any part of the control system
and any gas control which has been under water.
CURING LOGS
During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in period, you may detect
an odor from the appliance as the various paints and com-
pounds used in the manufacturing of this log set cure. This is a
normal and temporary situation that is not cause for alarm.
However, you may want to provide extra ventilation to the room
during this time.
To ensure proper curing of the logs:
• Ignite a 2" flame and maintain it for 1 hour.
• Burn the logs in consecutive 1 hour periods raising the flame
an additional 2" to full flame height for a total of three hours.
