Operation

Operation

1.The Allagash is equipped with an On/Off/T-stat rocker switch or can be controlled using an optional wall mounted thermostat. A separate switch is provided for the optional forced air blower kit.

2.When lit for the first time, the stove will emit an odor for several hours. This odor results from paint curing and the burn-off of manufacturing residues. This condition can be alleviated by opening a window to allow fresh air circulation during this break-in period.

3.Condensation may occur on the glass each time the burner is turned on. This fog will disappear as the appliance becomes hot.

4.Keep the controls and the area under the appliance free of debris, vacuum this area frequently. Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flam- mable liquids.

If and when a vacuum is used on any service for the stove, ALWAYS be sure the stove is OFF.

5.Remember, this appliance has a continuously burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when using products with combustible vapors.
