Operating Instructions

The First Firing

On completing the gas line connection, a small amount 
of air will be trapped in the gas line. When you first light 
the unit with the pilot light, it will take a few minutes to 
purge the trapped air. Once you have purged the gas 
line, the pilot and burner will light and operate normally. 
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require 
purging the gas line.
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight 
odor for an hour or two. This is due to paint and lubri-
cants used in the manufacturing process curing under 
heat. This is normal. You may wish to have the windows 
open to dissipate any odors during the curing process.

Flame Appearance

To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the 
pilot and main burner flame characteristics are steady, 
not lifting or floating. Refer to Figure 13 -15 for proper 
burner flame appearance. Refer to Figure 16 for proper 
pilot flame appearance.
