Under no circumstances should lava rock
be placed on any part of the burner assem-
bly.
First Firing
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small
amount of air will be trapped in the line. When first
lighting the unit with pilot light, it will take a few minutes
to purge the trapped air. Once purging is complete, the
pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated in the
instruction manual. Subsequent lightings of the appli-
ance will not require purging.
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. After each
lighting, vapor may condense and fog the glass; this
moisture disappears in a few minutes of burning.
Flame Adjustment
For units equipped with Hi/Lo valves, flame adjustment
is accomplished by rotating the Hi/Lo adjustment knob
located near the center of the gas control.
Flame Characteristics
It is important to periodically perform a visual
check of the pilot and the burner flames.
Compare them to the illustrations below
(Figs. 18, 19, 20). If any of the flames ap-
pear abnormal call a service person.
Inspecting the Venting System
The appliance venting system was designed
and constructed to develop a positive flow
adequate to remove flue gases to the out-
side atmosphere.
Any foreign objects in the venting system,
except those designed specifically for the
venting system, may cause spillage of flue
gases (i.e.: carbon monoxide) into the room.
To inspect the venting system, make sure
the main gas valve is off. Remove the glass
panel. Using a flashlight, check the combus-
tion dome and behind the top grille. Clean if
necessary.
