1/31/01
24. Follow the lighting instructions on in the Lighting and
Operating section of this manual 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
handle holder
burner flame patterns are as shown in Figure 26 and Figure
27. If flame patterns are incorrect, turn the heater off. Contact 2/6/01
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 adjustment is
accomplished by rotating the HI/LO adjustment knob located
near the center of the gas valve. (Fig. 25)
