  • Page 2: Initial Startup Information And Advice

    INITIAL STARTUP INFORMATION AND ADVICE CAUTION: Before you ignite the pilot or burners, perform the following inspections and verifications: Check glass gasket seal. Visually inspect glass gasket, especially at the corners of the glass piece. Gasket that bulges at corners can cause improper seals between the bulges which can cause exhaust leaks and lead to acrid smell concerns. If facing materials are freshly painted or freshly polished (in cases of marble or granite), make certain that the convection blower is running at level 2 or level 3 during the first 1-1/2 hours of initial burn.
