Your First Fire

Read these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself
with the burner controls. Locate the pilot assembly, Figure
46. Follow the lighting instructions on Page 25 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.
Pilot and Burner Inspection
Each time you light your heater check that the pilot flame
and burner flame patterns are as shown in Figure 48. 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 30.
