BE SURE THE FIREPLACE DAMPER IS FULLY

OPEN WHEN OPERATING THE BURNER

THE PETERSON BURNER IS TO BE BURNED

ONLY IN A FULLY VENTED, NONCOMBUSTIBLE

FIREPLACE WITH DAMPER AND CHIMNEY FREE

OF ANY OBSTRUCTIONS. THE FIREPLACE MUST

BE DESIGNED AND APPROVED TO BURN WOOD.

Like burning natural ﬁ rewood, the Peterson burner is

designed to burn with a yellow, smoky ﬂ ame. For this

reason, it must be adequately vented. Be sure the

ﬁ replace damper is fully open when you burn the gas

burner. The smallest dimension of the chimney ﬂ ue must

be at least 8". If it is smaller, DO NOT USE A PETERSON

BURNER. If fumes from the burner emerge into the room

when the damper is fully open, creating a smell like a

smoldering oil lamp, it indicates that the ﬁ replace draft is

defective. Check chimney ﬂ ue for obstructions. DO NOT

OPERATE LOGS UNTIL THE FIREPLACE DRAFT IS

CORRECTED. Check with the dealer or installer. Do not

use ﬁ rewood with this unit.

This safety pilot system contains a control certiﬁ ed

by C.S.A.
