NOTICE: During initial operation
of new heater, burning logs will
give off a paper-burning smell.
Orange flame will also be pres
-
ent. Open damper or window to
vent smell. This will only last a
few hours.
Note: Home owners generally prefer to oper-
ate 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.

4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.

allow air to bleed from the gas system.
