OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: If you do not fol- low these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, per- sonal injury or loss of life.
CAUTION: This appliance is hot during normal operation, avoid physical contact.
CAUTION: Do not place clothing or other combustible materials on this appliance.
DO NOT operate this heater if any part has been under water. Call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system or gas control valve which has been under water.
LIGHTING HEATER
1.Before attempting to light the heater, smell all around the heater area for gas. Turn on the gas supply to the appliance and check all fittings and connections for gas leaks using a mild soap and water solution. NEVER use a match to check for gas leaks. Should a gas leak occur, shut off the gas supply to the appliance immediately. Wait a minimum of five minutes before repairing the leak.
2.Use only the fuel intended for this appliance. Check the appliance rating plate for the correct fuel information.
3.Turn the control knob clockwise to the OFF position. See Figure 1, page 3 and Figure 2 for location of appliance parts.
4.Wait a sufficient length of time (at least five minutes) to allow gas which may have ac- cumulated in burner compartment to escape.
5.Turn on the main gas supply.
6.Turn control knob counterclockwise to the PILOT position.
7a. Press and turn control knob counterclockwise to PILOT position and hold for 1 to 2 minutes. This may take longer to purge air from supply hose depending on length of the hose being used.
Press red spark ignition button to light pilot flame (repeat until pilot lights) and continue to hold control knob at PILOT position for
7b. To match light the pilot, move the lighting hole cover aside (see Figure 2) and place a lighted match into hole. Press control knob and hold while lighting and observing pilot burner. Ensure that pilot burner ignites from match. Allow pilot to burn approximately 30 seconds before releasing control knob. If pilot does not remain lit, repeat lighting operation allowing a longer period of time before releas- ing control knob.
Note: In cases where long runs of gas supply lines have been installed ahead of the appliance, it may be necessary to bleed trapped air out of supply lines before lighting pilot. New installations generally require bleed of supply lines. Wait a minimum of five minutes after bleeding supply lines before attempting to light heater.
Adjust pilot if necessary as noted under Pilot Burner Adjustment, page 7.
8.Turn control knob counterclockwise to the ON position. The burner will light. DO NOT oper- ate heater in any position other than full ON.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to adjust the main burner input using the main gas supply valve. This may cause the pilot and thermocouple to shut down the burner.
