Operation

Your First Fire

Read these instructions carefully and familiarize
yourself with the burner controls shown in Figure 25.
Locate the pilot assembly, Figure 22. Follow the lighting
instructions on Page 14 exactly.
During the ﬁrst ﬁre, it is not unusual to smell some
odor associated with new logs, paint and metal being
heated. Odors should dissipate within an hour or so,
however, you can open a window to provide fresh air to
alleviate the condition.

Pilot and Burner Inspection

Each time you light your heater check that the pilot
ﬂame and burner ﬂame patterns are as shown in Figure
24. If ﬂame patterns are incorrect, turn the heater off.
Contact your dealer or a qualiﬁed gas technician for as-
sistance. Do not operate the heater until the pilot ﬂame
is correct.

Follow regular maintenance procedures as described
on Page 19.
