Starting the Heater for the First Time
Burn the heater at a high setting with the blower off for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will
cure the painted surfaces.
Fumes
from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This
is normal. We recommend opening a window to vent the room.
Condensation
may appear on the glass each time you start the heater - this is normal.
Blue Flames
will occur on the heater when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will turn
a more realistic yellow and orange color.
Turning the Heater On and Off
Do not place any combustible items on top of or directly in front of the heater, even temporarily. The
optional thermostat may start the heater causing a combustible item to ignite.
If the heater turns on and off frequently while using the thermostat, you may want to adjust the flame
height down until it produces just enough heat needed.
Adjusting the Flame Height
Your heater has an adjustable flame to tailor the look and heat output to your specific needs. It is
adjusted by turning the middle dial on the gas control valve.
