If you experience any ignition problem, turn off the heater and gas supply, and consult the troubleshooting
section of this manual.
Note: The burner may be noisy when initially turned on. To eliminate excessive noise from the burner, turn the
control knob to the “LOW” position, then turn the knob to the level of heat desired.
WHEN HEAR IS ON
Emitter screen will become bright red due to intense heat. The burner will display tongues of blue flame. These
flames should NOT be yellow or produce thick black smoke. This indicates an obstruction of airflow through the
burners.
OPERATION PRESSURE CHECKED
If the flame is very small, this is because the supply pressure is not enough to light.
1. Turn the control knob to the “OFF” position.
2. Wait five minutes before attempting to relight the pilot.
3. Repeat steps beginning with step 2 in the lighting instruction section of this manual.
BEFORE LEAVING

THE EVENT OF GAS LEAKAGE

manufacturing will appear. Both smoke and odor will dissipate after approximately 30 minutes. The heater
should NOT produce thick black smoke.
