Your First Fire

operable doors
Read these instructions carefully and familiarize your-
1/31/01
self with the burner controls shown on Page 17. Locate
the pilot assembly, Figure 29. Follow the lighting instruc-
tions 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
31 and Figure 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.
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. 30)
