FLAME AP PEARANCE

Flames from the pilot, front and rear burner should be visually checked as soon as the heater is installed. In addition, periodically check the flames visually during operation.

CHECKING PILOT FLAME

The pilot flame must always be present when the heater is in operation. It should just touch the top of the ther- mocouple tip for natural. See Figure 13 for correct pilot flame.

If the pilot flame does not touch the thermocouple, then the burners cannot function reliably. See Figure 14 for incorrect shape of pilot flame.

CHECKING BURNER FLAME

In normal operation at full rate after 15 minutes, the follow- ing flame appearances should be observed:

The left and right rear flames should be yellow and extend 1"-2" above the log top surfaces. The yellow flames should not contact the logs. There should be glowing embers on the front surface of the middle log. Note: The flames and embers will be an opaque orange color during the burn off time.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into the stove. Do not place a blower inside the burn area of the stove. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will result.

During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.

The initial break-in operation should last two to three hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventila- tion by opening windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in will be slight and will disappear with continued use.

Both models feature a sleek, modern design that allows them to seamlessly fit into various types of home decor.
