Ignition Process: 

1.  During the first seasonal operation, set the Control Knob to Pilot, then hold down on the Control 

Knob for 3-5 minutes. This allows the air in the manifests to clear completely. During normal 
operation, you will only need to hold the Control Knob down on Pilot for about 5 seconds. 
 

2.  With the Control Knob set to Pilot, push down on both the Igniter Button and the Control Knob 

simultaneously until ignition can be heard. Continue to hold down both buttons for at least 15 
seconds, until the pilot is touching the thermocouple and is noticeably heated. 

 

3.  Release both buttons. Should the pilot go out, repeat steps 2 and 3. 

 

4.  Once the pilot flame is stable, turn the Control Knob counterclockwise 

  from the Pilot setting 

to the desired number setting. This should be done slowly in one motion, without stopping between 
positions. Knob will only turn if you have a stable pilot light. 

 

5.  The heater will now operate normally. Room temperature will vary based on individual room size 

and installation. 

 
Shutdown Process: 

To stop the heater, shut off the safety valve on the gas inlet line. Next, turn the Control Knob to the OFF 
position

 

INSPECTING BURNER 

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often (see Figure 13 and Figure 14 for reference).

 

PILOT FLAME PATTERN 

Two pilot burners with ODS function for NAT and LP gas respectively are installed on burners two sides 
separately as shown in Figure. 13. The normal ODS pilot flame should have a correct pattern as shown in 
Figure. 14 in normal operation with exception during ignition stage.
