The heater includes a unitized set of eight ceramic fiber logs. The heater and logs are assembled as shown in Figure 9. Handle these logs with great care. The logs can be easily damaged, but when handled properly they can provide years of performance and enjoyment.
WARNING: FAILURE TO POSITION THE PARTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE DIAGRAMS OR FAILURE TO USE ONLY PARTS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED WITH THIS HEATER MAY RESULT IN PROP- ERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
Periodically check the positioning of all logs.
Flame Appearance
REFER TO THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LOCATED AT THE BACK OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE LIGHTING THE HEATER TO OBSERVE THE FLAMES.
Flames from the pilot, front and rear burner should be visually checked as soon as the heater is installed. In addition a periodic visual check of the flames should be made. The pilot flame should always be present when the heater is in operation (Figure 10 ).
WARNING: NO ADJUSTMENTS ARE TO BE MADE TO THE ODS PILOT SYSTEM. TAMPERING WITH THIS SYSTEM CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATION NOT TO SCALE.
An incorrect pilot flame pattern is shown in Figure 11. This pilot flame will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the log set will shut off. If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, or if log set shuts off, contact your service representative.
Figure 11
In normal operation, at full rate, after 15 min- utes the following flame appearance should be observed:
Burner Flame Characteristics – The flames should be yellow. The flames should extend about 3 – 4" above the logs for natural gas and 2 – 3" above for propane (L.P.G.) gas (Figure
