Annual inspection and cleaning by your dealer or qualified service technician is recommended to prevent malfunction
and/or sooting.
Remove front screen, (see page 6). Carefully lift screen from locating stubs and set aside during cleaning. Refer to
instructions on page 6 for installation of screen. Do not operate the unit with the screen removed.
Remove logs, handling carefully by holding gently at each end. Gloves are recommended to prevent skin irritation from
ceramic. If the skin becomes irritated, wash gently with soap and water. Refer to manual for correct log placement.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Wait 30 seconds before readjusting the heater when the control has been turned
down to a lower setting.
WARNING
MATCH LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
If the pilot will not light using the piezo ignitor, you can light the pilot with a match. First, locate the pilot. The pilot
is located between the two burner tubes on the right end (facing the unit), inside the firebox. To light pilot with a match,
move the gas control (knob 1, pg. 12) to the pilot position and hold down. Light match and place near pilot. Once
pilot is lit, continue to hold the knob for about ten seconds. Then follow steps 7 thru 10 on page 12.
PILOT FLAME
The pilot flame should always be present when the
heater is in operation and should just touch the top of the
thermocouple tip (FIGURE 9).
If the pilot flame does not touch the thermocouple, then
the main burner is unlikely to function reliably (FIG-
URE 10).
CHECKING FLAME APPEARANCE
Flames from the pilot, front and rear burner should be visually checked when the heater is installed. In addition a
periodic visual check of the flames should be made.
WARNING
Turn off heater and allow to cool before cleaning.
