Flame Characteristics

It is important to periodically perform a visual check of the pilot and burner flames. Compare them to the illustration below. (Fig. 32, 33) If the flame patterns ap- pear abnormal, contact a qualified service provider for service and adjustment.

Your First Fire

Read these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself with the burner controls shown on Page 17. Locate the pilot assembly, Figure 30. Follow the lighting instructions on Page 16 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 Figure 32 and Figure 33. 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.

Flame & Temperature Adjustment

For units equipped with HI/LO valves, the flame adjust- ment is accomplished by rotating the HI/LO adjustment knob located near the center of the gas valve. (Fig. 31)
