LIGHTING
TEST ALL GAS LINES AND CONNECTIONS FOR LEAKS WITH
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.
1)
Open heater door
2)
Turn GAS knob to LOW
3)
Depress knob and light burner manually.
4)
Keep knob depressed for 15/20 seconds. CLOSE HEATER DOOR. Release knob and
flame will remain lit.
(Leaving the heater door open after ignition could cause flame to go out
the knob is released)
6)
LOW or HIGH may now be selected.
BURNING CHARACTERISTICS
On each lighting the heater flame will create a roaring sound for about 5 minutes until the direct
draft system stabilizes and reaches operating temperature. Initially the flame is extremely blue
and vibrant. After a short period of time the flame will increase in size and become less vibrant
and more yellow. This will create more of a fireplace effect.
Selecting Low or High settings will only make a small difference to the height of the flame.
However, at high the heater is burning 40% more fuel than at low and producing 40% more heat.
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.
Installations using an extremely short chimney length i.e. less than 24" (60cm) may experience
carboning at the high fire setting.
outlet may experience the same carboning at high fire.
This can be solved either by operating heater only at low or by operating the blower fan.
Running the blower fan cools the top of the heater and the chimney and therefore improves the
direct draft.
SAFETY FEATURES
Your heater is equipped with a CGA/AGA approved safety gas valve. Should the flame be
extinguished the gas will be shut-off.
Manual ignition involves lighting the heater with the door open and therefore avoids any initial
build up of unburned gas.
