NOTICE
During initial operation of new heater, burning logs will give off a paper-burning smell. Orange
flame will also be present. Open damper or window to vent smell. This will only last a few hours.
Note:
Homeowners generally prefer to operate their heater with the chimney damper closed. This
will put all the heat into the room. However there may be times you will desire the full flames of the
Hi heat setting but will find the heat output excessive. You can open the chimney damper (if you
have one) fully or partially to release some of the heat. WARNING: Damper handle will be hot if
heater has been running.
1. STOP! Read the safety information above.
2. Make sure manual shutoff valve is fully open.
3. Set remote selector switch in the OFF position.
5. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you
smell gas, STOP! Follow “B” in the safety information above. If you don’t smell gas, go to the
next step.
6. Press in and turn control knob counterclockwise to the PILOT position. Press in control
knob for five (5) seconds (see above).
Note:
You may be running this heater for the first time after hooking up to gas supply. If so,
the control knob may need to be pressed in for 30 seconds or less. This will allow air to bleed
from the gas system.
7. With control knob pressed in, press and release ignitor button. This will light pilot. The pilot is
attached to the front burner. If needed, keep pressing ignitor button until pilot lights.
Note:
If pilot does not stay lit, contact a qualified service person or gas supplier for repairs.
Until repairs are made, light pilot with match. To light pilot with match, see Manual Lighting
Procedure on page 20.
