!If the air shutter is in its fully open position, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the heater and contact your dealer for a remedy.

7Ensure the heater establishes a draft. If the heater unexpectedly shuts off 5 to 25 minutes after starting, the heater may not be drafting. The cause: negative pressure. Typically, re-starting the heater five minutes after the shutoff will overcome the negative pressure and establish a draft. However, if this does not work, you may wish to open a door or window near the heater. This will allow in enough air in to overcome any negative pressure. Once drafting is initiated, the heater will work properly without having to re-start the heater or allow in outside air. This is due to the heat generated by the pilot.

Possible Causes of Negative Pressure:

¥Exhaust fans (Jenn-Aire type fans in kitchens, bathroom fans)

¥Vent termination located near a down draft or against prevailing winds

¥Internal home pressure characteristics (multiple fireplaces, etc...)

8Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 10" tall. Check the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does not work correctly, contact your dealer for a remedy.
