MATCH LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
If the pilot will not light using the piezo ignitor, you can light the pilot with a match. First, locate
the pilot. The pilot is located between the two burner tubes on the right end (facing the unit),
inside the firebox. To light pilot with a match, move the gas control (knob 1, pg. 16) to the pilot
position and hold down. Light match and place near pilot. Once pilot is lit, continue to hold the
knob for about ten seconds. Then follow steps 7 thru 10 on page 16.
WARNING
Wait 30 seconds before readjusting the heater when the control
has been turned down to a lower setting.
PILOT FLAME
The pilot flame should always be present
when the heater is in operation and should
just touch the top of the thermocouple tip
(FIGURE 9).
If the pilot flame does not touch the thermo-
couple, then the main burner is unlikely to
function reliably (FIGURE 10).
FIGURE 9 - Pilot Flame FIGURE 10 - Incorrect Shape of Pilot Flame
Annual inspection and cleaning by your dealer or qualified service technician is recommended
to prevent malfunction and/or sooting.
Remove logs, handling carefully by holding gently at each end. Gloves are recommended to
prevent skin irritation from ceramic. If the skin becomes irritated, wash gently with soap and
water. Refer to page 14 for correct log placement.
CLEANING / SERVICING
WARNING
Turn off heater and allow to cool before cleaning.

CHECKING FLAME APPEARANCE
Flames from the pilot, front and rear burner should be visually checked when the heater is
installed. In addition a periodic visual check of the flames should be made.
