Follow steps 1 - 8 on initial start-up after heater installation
by a qualified gas heater service person. For normal start-
up, simply turn thermostat above room temperature. The
heater will start.
1. Open all manual fuel supply valves and check for gas
leaks using approved certified leak detectors.
2. Remove the metal cover from the gas control
enclosure. (If Applicable)
3. The gas control valve incorporates a manual gas shut
off feature. Position the indicator on the shut off knob
to “pilot”.
4. Fully depress the red pilot button located on the
control valve while applying flame to the pilot light.
Keep the button depressed for about 30 seconds to
allow the thermocouple to warm up so the pilot stays
lit after you release the pilot button. Once the pilot
stays lit, position the knob to “on”.
ATTENTION
On new installations it may take a short period of time for the
gas to purge out any air in the pilot line before the pilot stays
lit.
5. Reinstall the metal cover back over the valve.
6. Connect the heater’s electrical cord to an approved
electrical outlet.
7.
Set thermostat to a point above room temperature.
The heater will light. Reset thermostat to desired

appliance, or manufacturer’s recommended burner
orifice pressure for size orifice(s) used.
