When first lighting the appliance, it will take a
few minutes for the line to purge itself of air.
Once purging is complete, the pilot and burner
will light and operate as indicated in the instruc-
tion manual.
Subsequent lighting of the appliance will not
require such purging. Inspect the pilot flame (re-
move logs, if necessary, handling carefully).

of the quick drop out thermocouple should be
engulfed in the pilot flame.
