Operation
Your First Fire
Read these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself with the burner controls shown on Page 18. Locate the pilot assembly, Figure 28. Follow the lighting instructions on Page 17 exactly.
During the first fire, it is not unusual to smell some odor associated with new logs, paint and metal being heated. Odors should dissipate within the first eight to ten hours, however, you can open a window to provide fresh air to alleviate the condition.
Pilot and Burner Inspection
Each time you light your heater check that the pilot flame and burner flame patterns are as shown in Figures 31 and 32. If flame patterns are incorrect, turn the heater off. Contact your dealer or a qualified gas technician for assistance. Do not operate the heater until the pilot flame is correct.
Follow regular maintenance procedures as described on Page 20.
