WARNINg

ANY CHANGE TO THIS  HEATER  OR ITS CONTROLS CAN 

BE DANGEROUS.  

Improper installation or use of the heater can cause serious 

injury or death from fire, burns, explosion or carbon monoxide 

poisoning.

This series is design certified in accordance with American National 

Standard Z21.11.2  by the Underweriters Laboratories, Inc. as an 

Unvented Room Heater and should be installed according to these

shown in these instructions or use with a type of gas not 

shown on the rating plate is the responsibility of the person 

and company making the change.

750 Millivolt System

When you ignite the pilot, the thermocouple produces millivolts 

(electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve. 

After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas 

control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow your pilot flame to 

operate an additional one (1) to two (2) minutes before you turn the 

gas control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This 

time period allows the millivolts (electrical energy) to build-up to a 

sufficient level allowing the gas control to operate properly. 

Important

All correspondence should refer to complete Model Number, Serial 

Number and type of gas.

Attention:  During initial use of ceramic log you will detect 

an odor as the ceramic log is cured.  Also, during the curing 

process the ceramic log will burn with a yellow flame.

Notice: 

 During initial firing of this unit, its paint will bake out, and 

smoke will occur.  To prevent triggering of smoke alarms, ventilate 

the room in which the unit is installed.
