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 35. 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.
