Running Your Heater
Your heater may be turned on and off manually, with the optional remote control, or by the
optional thermostat. The speed of the blower and the height of the flame can also be adjusted
manually.
NOTE: When the heater first comes on, the flames will be blue and
somewhat transparent. After fifteen minutes the flames will turn a
more realistic yellow and orange color.
NOTE: Certain installations use a remote "wall switch" to turn the heater on
and off. If this is the case, leave the ON/OFF switch on "ON".
NOTE: When this switch is turned to the "OFF" position the main burner
will not operate. However, the pilot flame will stay lit.
Starting the Heater for the First Time
Cure the Paint
To cure the paint, start the heater and turn the flame height to low. Leave it on for 20 minutes
then turn it off and let it cool. Repeat this process two more times to fully cure the paint. You
will smell the paint curing Ð this is normal.
Ventilate the Room
You may wish to ventilate the room by opening a window. Furthermore, the glass may become
obscure during the first 10 hours of burning due to the components inside the firebox curing.
Clean the glass with a glass cleaner after the first ten hours of operation.
