Your First Fire

Read these instructions carefully and familiarize
yourself with the burner controls shown in Figure 57.
Locate the pilot assembly, Figure 58. Follow the
lighting instructions on Page 30 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 a few hours. 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 pattern are as shown in Figures
60 through 64. 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
on Page 38.
