               Bristol  Model  8763 

 

 

During  the  first  few  hours  of  operation  the  applianc e 
may produce  smoke and/or  odor.  This is normal  during 
the first several  burns and also after long periods  when 
the  stove  is  not  burned.  During  these  initial  burns,  
open  a  window(s)  to  assist  in  the  removal  of  the 
smoke/odor. 

 

The  appliance  and  its individual  shutoff  valve  must be 
disconnected  from  the  gas  supply  piping  system 
during  any  pressure  testing  of  that  system  at  test 
pressures  in  excess  of  ½  psig.  (3.5k  Pa).  The 
appliance  must be  isolated from  the gas supply piping 
system by  closing  its individual  manual  shutoff  valve 
during  any  pressure  testing  of  the  gas  supply  piping 
system at test pressures  equal  to  or  less than  ½  psig 
(3.5k Pa).
