OPERATING GUIDELINES
Before operating this heater, please review the safety warnings
pages at the beginning of this manual and those precautions and
warnings listed below.
1. Know what type of ignition system this model has (standing
pilot) and follow the applicable SAFETY and LIGHTING
instructions.
2. Check to ensure there are no gas leaks. If you are unsure, turn
gas off to the heater and call a service person or your gas
utility.
CAUTION: Clothing or other flammable material should not
be placed on or near the appliance.
WARNING: Children and adults should be alerted to the
hazard of high surface temperature and should stay away
to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young children should
be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as
the appliance.
3. Tampering is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties. Any
component that is found to be faulty, must be replaced with an
approved component.
Initial Lighting (Figure 34)
Upon completing the gas line or turning the gas valve "ON" after
it has been in the "OFF" position, a small amount of air will be in
the lines. When first lighting the appliance, it will take a few
minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the
purging is complete, the appliance will light and operate
satisfactorily.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require such
purging if the gas valve is not turned to "OFF."
Standing Pilot Operation
1. Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for
standing pilot controls found in this manual and on labels
found attached to the appliance.
CAUTION: During the initial purging and subsequent
lightings, never allow the gas valve control knob to remain
depressed in the "pilot" position without pushing the piezo
ignitor button at least once every second.
2. During the heating season, leave the control valve knob in the
"ON" position. This will allow the pilot flame to remain lit.
Turn the burner flame on or off with the appliance ON/OFF
rocker switch, wall switch, remote control kits or 750 millivolt
wall thermostat.
NOTE: The gas control valve allows you to increase or decrease
the height of the main burner flame. The control valve has a
pressure regulator with a knob as shown in Figure 34. Rotate the
knob clockwise to "HI" to increase the flame height and
counterclockwise to "LO" to decrease the flame height.
3. When the heating season is over, turn the on/off switch to
"OFF" and the control valve to "OFF". The system, including
the pilot light, will be shut down.

Maximum and Minimum Input
The gas valve on the appliance allows the input to adjust between
a maximum input of 30,000 Btuh to a minimum input of 21,000
Btuh. Consumer be advised, the maximum input provides the
greatest amount of yellow flame and ember flow on the log set.
The minimum input substantially decreases the yellow flame and
ember glow on the log set.
