Operating Instructions
PILOT LIGHT:
1. Turn off the gas to the replace. If not recently done, remove the glass and let the unit air out
for at least ve (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all joints
with soapy water. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME FOR LEAK TESTING.

2. Start the pilot by pressing the gas control knob and turning it to PILOT.
While holding the gas control knob in, press the piezo ignitor several
times until the pilot light starts. Hold the gas control knob in for thirty
(30) seconds. Check that the pilot has fully engulfed the thermocouple
assembly (see Figure 3).
3. Start the main burner by turning the gas control knob to ON and then turn
the rocker switch to ON. Check that all burner ports have ame.
4. Leak test all gas joints again.
VENTURI ADJUSTMENT:
The venturi adjustment lever is centered above the control panel.
The venturi allows the amount of air coming into the replace to be adjusted in order to accommodate
different climates and venting arrangements. Start the pilot and then the burner. Make sure the pilot
ame is burning normally and none of the burner ports are plugged. Let the replace burn for roughly
fteen (15) minutes and then examine the ames.
The ideal ame will be blue at the base and
light orange above (see Figure 42). The ames
should be of medium height. If the ames look
like this, no venturi adjustment is needed. If
the ames are fairly short and mostly blue, the
replace is getting too much air. Therefore, the
air shutter should be closed (push in) slightly
until the correct ames are achieved. Flames
that are very orange, with tall dark stringy tips
are not getting enough air. Open (pull out) the
venturi until the ames clean up. If the venturi is
opened, then closed all the way, and the correct
ames cannot be attained, turn off the gas and
contact the dealer.

Warning: Incorrect venturi adjustment may lead to improper combustion, which is a safety hazard.
Contact the dealer if there is any concern about the venturi adjustment.
