SAFETY PILOT KITS for

PETERSON GAS LOG SETS

For Natural or Propane Gas

THE PETERSON LOG SET 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 log set 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 log set. The smallest

dimension of the chimney ﬂ ue must be at least 8". If it is

smaller, DO NOT USE A PETERSON LOG SET. 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.

Do not store or use gasoline or other ﬂ ammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any

other appliance.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

If you smell gas:

1. Extinguish any open ﬂ ame; open windows.

2. Don’t use electrical switches or the phone.

3. Immediately call the gas supplier from a

neighbor’s phone.

4. If you cannot reach the gas supplier, call the

ﬁ re department.

Installation and service must be performed by a

qualiﬁ ed, professional installer, service agency,

or the gas supplier.
