19
If for some reason your igniter fails to deliver a spark, your heater can be started by inserting a lit
match through the pilot view hole while pushing the control knob in while in the PILOT position.
NOTE:
If pilot fails to remain lit, all valves should be closed and wait at least 5 minutes before
attempting to light.
If you experience any ignition problem please consult the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
CAUTION:
Avoid inhaling fumes emitted during initial use. Smoke and odor from the burning of oils used
in manufacturing can cause some smoke and an odor. Both smoke and odor will dissipate after
approximately 30 minutes. The heater should NOT produce thick black smoke.
NOTE:
The burner may be noisy when initially turned on. To
eliminate excessive noise from the burner, turn the
Control Knob to the PILOT position. Then, turn the knob
to the Level of heat desired.
