Vermont Casting RUVS40 manual Operation, Your First Fire, Pilot and Burner Inspection

Operation

Your First Fire

Read these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself with the burner controls of this heater.

The Radiance uses a Honeywell control valve that allows thermostatic regulation. A separate Piezo ignitor generates a spark at the pilot orifice when the button is pushed. Figures 26 - 30 illustrate the operating positions for the RUVS40 controls.

Set the 3-way burner control switch on the back of the appliance to the OFF position (midpoint). Locate the Pilot assembly on the right side behind the burener. (Fig. 31) Follow the lighting instructions on page 16 exactly. Use the regulator control to adjust heat output.

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 a few hours or so, however, you can open a window to provide plenty of fresh air to alleviate this condition.

Pilot and Burner Inspection

Each time you light your Radiance, check that the pilot flame and burner flame pattern appear as in Figures 31 and 33. If flame patterns are incorrect, turn the heater off and use the procedures in the Troubleshooting section of this manual to determing a solution. Do not operate the heater until the pilot flame is correct.

Follow regular maintenance procedures as de- scribed on page 17.
