FLAME AP PEARANCE
Flames from the pilot, front and rear burner should be visually checked as soon as the heater is installed.
In addition, periodically check the ames visually during operation.
CHECKING PILOT FLAME
The pilot flame must always be present when the heater is in operation. It should just touch the top of the ther-
mocouple tip for natural. See Figure 13 for correct pilot ame.
If the pilot ame does not touch the thermocouple, then the burners cannot function reliably. See Figure 14 for incorrect
shape of pilot ame.

CHECKING BURNER FLAME
In normal operation at full rate after 15 minutes, the follow-
ing flame appearances should be observed:
The left and right rear ames should be yellow and extend 1"-2" above
the log top surfaces. The yellow ames should not contact the logs.
There should be glowing embers on the front surface of the middle
log. Note: The flames and embers will be an opaque orange
color during the burn off time.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not allow
fans to blow directly into the stove. Do not place a blower inside the
burn area of the stove. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter ame
patterns. Sooting and improper burning will result.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, lms or
bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during
the initial operation of the appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary
occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last two to three hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventila-
tion by opening windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in will be slight
and will disappear with continued use.
