LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Damper handle will be hot if heater
has been running.
WARNING: Burners will come on automatically
within one minute when the selector switch is in the
ON position after the pilot is lit.

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.

2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully open.
3. Set selector switch in the OFF position.
