Vermont Castings Jefferson Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
Operation
Your First Fire
Read these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself with the burner controls. Locate the pilot assembly, Figure 46. Follow the lighting instructions on Page 28 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 an hour or so, 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 pattern are as shown in Figure 47 or Figure 48 and Figure 49. 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 30.
