Danger:    Do not use candles,

matches or other ignition sources
when checking for gas leaks.
Fuel gases are very flammable
and, in certain concentrations,
explosive.  Checking for leaks
with an open flame may lead to
fire or explosion which could
cause personal injury, property
damage, or death.

Important:  Please refer to the

section of this manual for proper
lighting instructions.

Notice:      The heater will go
through a curing process during
its initial (first 2 to 3 hours)
operating period and may emit
some smoke and fumes (burning
off oil, etc.).  Be prepared for any
smoke and fumes by raising
windows or opening doors to
provide additional ventilation
during this initial operating
period.

21. After all checks are satisfactorily completed as described above,

turn the heater’s control knob to "Pilot".  Allow the main burner to
cool.  Reinstall the heater’s front panel.  See Figure 6.  As the front
panel is being installed, verify that the glass is in it’s proper position
in the wire mesh dress guard as shown at the bottom of the Parts
Diagram and in Figure 1.

22. The heater may now be operated as desired.  If no heat is desired,

leave the control knob at the "Pilot" position or turn to "Off".  For
complete shutdown of the heater, turn the shutoff valve off and turn
heater’s control knob to "Off".

20. Check the main burner flame.  It should be blue with a few red or

orange streaks caused by dust.  The flame should be steady and
sit on the burner as shown in Figure 8 .
