2.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is a balanced flue heater and is designed
to operate with all combustion air being siphoned from
the outside of the building and all exhaust gases ex-
pelled to the outside of the building.
WARNING:
THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE
!
WITH SOLID FUEL.
The control system for these models is a millivolt type.
It consists of a gas control valve/variable regulator, a
standing pilot/thermopile/thermocouple assembly, a
piezo ignitor, and an ON/OFF rocker switch. The con-
trols are located in the lower compartment behind the
lower grille. Access to this compartment is gained by
rotating the grille up. See Figure 1.
WARNING:
DO NOT CONNECT 240 VAC
!
TO THE GAS CONTROL VALVE OR CON-
TROL WIRING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
The gas control system is wired so the thermopile, when
heated with the pilot light, will provide approximately 350
to 500 millivolts. This activates the gas control valve.
See Figure 31 for appliance wiring diagram.
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight
odor for an hour or two. This is due to paint and lubri-
cants used in the manufacturing process. Additionally,
for the first few minutes after each lighting, vapor may
condense and fog the glass and the flames may be blue.
After a few minutes this moisture will disappear and within
15-30 minutes the flames should become yellow.
The heater may produce a noise, caused from metal
expansion and contraction as it heats up and cools down.
This noise is similar to one that a furnace or heat duct
may produce and does not affect the operation or lon-
gevity of the heater.

2.1 SAFETY AND LIGHTING
INFORMATION
Follow Section 2.2 SAFETY INFORMATION and 2.3
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS to light the appliance.
By design, the flame pattern will not be identical from
unit to unit. Additionally, flame pattern may vary de-
pending on installation type and weather conditions.
After the unit has warmed up (i.e. approximately 15
minutes) flame height should be slightly [about 2"
(51mm)] below the top of the dress guard. If the flame
height is higher than this, adjustments must be made
to prevent overheating the gasket and glass. Please
contact your dealer or a qualified service person to re-
place the injector or adjust the valve.
NOTE:
THE TIPS OF THE FLAMES SHOULD
NEVER HIT THE TOP OF THE FIREBOX.
