• In its natural state, natural gas has no odor. For your safety, a scent has been added.
• Direct contact with natural gas can burn your skin.
• Natural gas is extremely flammable and hazardous if handled improperly.
Natural Gas Information
• This natural gas fireplace is designed to operate on natural gas only at a pressure of
7" W.C. (1.74 kPa).
• Check with your local gas provider for local gas pressure, because in some areas natural
gas pressure varies.
Natural Gas Connection
• It is recommended that an ON/OFF manual shut-o
gas supply source after the gas line exits the outside wall or before the gas line enters
