1. LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE
FIRST TIME
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small
amount of air will be in the lines. When first lighting
the pilot light, it will take a few minutes for the lines to
purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the pilot and burner will light and operate
as indicated in the instruction manual.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require
such purging.
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a
slight odor for an hour or two. This is due to paint and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
Additionally, for the first few minutes after each
lighting, vapor may condense and fog the glass and
the flames may be blue. After a few minutes, this
moisture will disappear and within 15-30 minutes
the flames should become yellow.
CAUTION:
During the initial purging and subsequent lightings,
NEVER allow the gas valve control knob to remain
depressed in the PILOT position without pushing
the red ignitor button at least once every second.
2. AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
The air shutter adjusts the amount of air that mixes
with the gas as it enters the burner pan. To adjust the
air shutter, locate the wing nut underneath the
appliance bottom (see Figure 25). To close the air
shutter, turn the wing nut clockwise. To open the air
shutter, turn the wing nut counterclockwise. The air
shutter is used to fine-tune the flame as necessary
for differences in altitude and vent configuration. The
air shutter is shipped fully closed with natural gas
appliances and fully open with L.P. appliances.
Allow the appliance to operate about 15-20 minutes.
This will give the flame time to reach its height and
color before making adjustments to the air shutter. As
the air shutter is closed, the flame should get taller
and darker.
The appliance may produce a noise, caused from
metal expansion and contraction as it heats up and
cools down. This noise is similar to one that a furnace
or heat duct may produce and does not affect the
operation or longevity of the appliance.
CAUTION:
The appliance bottom can get very hot during air
shutter adjustment procedures. Allow the appliance
to cool before attempting to adjust the air shutter.
