Archgard 40-DVI40N - Manual (Page 24)

Optima 40 - SB
24
This appliance has a pilot which must be ignited using the sparker located next to the appliance
valve controls. When lighting the pilot, follow the start-up procedures exactly. See next page or
rating plate for complete lighting instructions.
1. BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to
the floor, because some gases are heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
2. IF YOU SMELL GAS, follow the instruction on the front cover of this manual.
3. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will
not push in or turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Do not
force or attempt repair of gas control knob; this may result in a fire or explosion.
4. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may
result, causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Do not operate the
appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of broken
glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
When operated for the first few times, the appliance will emit some odor and fumes. This is due
to the heat from the appliance evaporating the oils and solvents used in fabricating the
appliance. Close off the room to the rest of the house and open all windows. Keep the room
well ventilated as smoke alarm may sound. Run the appliance for at least 6 hours at maximum
setting with blower set to “OFF” to allow paint to cure (after the installer has checked to ensure
the fan is operational). Smoke and fumes caused by the curing process may cause discomfort
to some individuals.
