Dickinson P9000 Operating And Installation Instruction page 18

WARNING: DO NOT touch the heater during operation as the glass
window, external surfaces and the vent pipe of the heater get very hot and
can cause burns. NOT closing the door of the heater properly may cause:
• depletion of oxygen within the cabin
• Exhaust gas to enter the cabin, possibly including Carbon Monoxide.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, tasteless, invisible toxic gas, which
can cause serious health problems or death. NOTE: Only on first lighting,
the lubricating oil on the stainless steel pipe will produce smoke and burn
off. THIS IS NORMAL. We suggest that windows and hatches be opened.
Smoke from the inside pipe will be emitted outside, through the flue cap.
Flame Characteristics
When lighting the heater, the flames will create a roaring sound for about 5
minutes until the direct draft system stabilizes and reaches the operating
temperature. Initially the flame is extremely blue and vibrant. After a short
period of time the flames will increase in size and become less vibrant with
more yellow tips. This will create more of the fireplace effect.
At the high setting the baffle at the top of the combustion chamber will
glow red. This is normal and maximizes the efficiency of the heater.
