Stardance® Vent-Free Gas Heater
Operation
Your First Fire
Read these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself
with the burner controls. Locate the pilot assembly, Figure
14. Follow the lighting instructions on the next page 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 Figures 16 and 17. 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 in the
Maintenance section of this manual.
