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
"L
IGHTING
AND
O
PERATING
HEATER
"
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", and reinstall the heater’s
front panel. See Figure 6.
22. The heater may now be operated for desired heat. 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. Immediately after the burner plaques light, use a soapy water
solution or a liquid gas leak detector to check all burner tube joints
for gas leaks. If any leaks are found, turn the shutoff valve off and
repair all leaks before proceeding.
Note: During operation, the surface of each burner plaque will glow
evenly as shown by Figure 8. Ceramic burner plaques operate
with a slightly audible sound when operating correctly. If the burner
plaques’ flame does not appear correct or makes a loud roaring
sound, turn the heater’s control knob to "Off" and refer to the
"
