Manual

FOR USE WITH PETERSON GAS LOG SETS ONLY

Robert H. Peterson Co. • 14724 East Proctor Avenue • City of Industry, California 91746

Important: Read these instructions carefully

before starting installation.

BE SURE DAMPER IS FULLY OPEN

WHEN OPERATING THE LOG SET

PETERSON VENTED GAS LOG SETS ARE TO

BE OPERATED 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 your

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.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Open a window.

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use

any phone in the building.

• Immediately call the gas supplier from a

neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s

instructions.

• If you cannot reach the gas supplier, call the

ﬁ re department.

- Installation and service must be

performed by a qualified installer,

service agency, or the gas supplier.

If the information in this manual is not followed

exactly, a ﬁ re or explosion may result, causing

property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
