Your First Fire

Read these instructions carefully and familiarize your-
self with the burner controls. Locate the pilot assembly,
Figure 53. Follow the lighting instructions on Page 31
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 an hour or so, however,
you can open a window to provide fresh air to alleviate
the condition.

Install the Front Plate

Hold the front plate by the window bars and lift it into
position, engaging the two steel tabs on the top corners
behind the adjacent bosses in the side plates. (Fig. 52)
Then seat the Front against the sides so the tabs at the
bottom lip engage with the notches in the stove legs.
When properly installed, the bottom of the Front Plate
cannot be pulled away from the sides without also lifting
it.

Contact your dealer or a qualified gas technician for as-
sistance. Do not operate the heater until the pilot flame
is correct.
