WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Be careful when attempting to
manually ignite this heater. Holding

inserting a lit match through the pilot view hole while pushing the control knob in
while in the PILOT position.
If you experience any ignition problem consult “Troubleshooting” on
page 17.
Caution: Avoid inhaling fumes emitted from the heater’s first use. Smoke and odor

will dissipate after approximately 30 minutes. The heater should NOT produce thick
black smoke.

the burner, turn the Control Knob to the Pilot position. Then, turn the knob to the level of

When heater is ON:

If excessive yellow flame is detected, turn off heater and consult “Troubleshooting” on
page 17.
