Your First Fire
Read these instructions carefully and familiarize your-
self with the burner controls. Locate the pilot assembly,
Figure 46. Follow the lighting instructions on Page 24
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
54. If flame patterns are incorrect, turn the heater off.
Contact your dealer or a qualified gas technician for as-
sistance. Do not operate the heater until the pilot flame
is correct.
Follow regular maintenance procedures as described
on Page 33.
