Your First Fire

Read these instructions carefully and familiarize
yourself with the burner controls shown in Figure 47.
Locate the pilot assembly, Figure 48. Follow the lighting
instructions on Page 28 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

flame and burner flame pattern are as shown in Figures

cian for assistance. Do not operate the heater until the
pilot flame is correct.
Follow regular maintenance procedures as described
on Page 36.
