Radiance Direct Vent Gas Heater
The Radiance is operated with the front plate in place
with the doors open or closed. To open the front doors,
pull forward to separate the magnetic catch.
CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH DOORS WHEN
HOT!

Your First Fire

Read these instructions carefully and familiarize
yourself with the burner controls shown on Page 31.
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 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 Figure
56. If flame patterns are incorrect, turn the heater off.
Contact your dealer or a qualified gas technician for as-
sistance. Do not operate the heater until the pilot flame
is correct.
