ARNING
When lit for the first time, the Tribute DV will emit
some smoke and fumes. This is normal “off-
gassing” of the paints and oils used in the
manufacturing and assembly of the unit. Open
windows to vent the room if necessary. The off
gassing and fumes will subside after the first 10 to
20 minutes of operation.
O
DORS AND
I
MPURITIES
A heater of this type may produce odors during
heater operation due to impurities that may exist in
the immediate area. Sources of impurities can be
cleaning solvents, paint solvents, cigarettes,
candles, smoke, pet hair, dust, adhesives, new
carpet, and/or textiles. Such odors will dissipate.
However, opening a window or otherwise providing
additional ventilation to the area can alleviate the
condition. If any odor persists, contact your dealer
or an authorized service technician.

ARNING
The Tribute DV has a piezoelectric spark igniter
(the red push button located next to the gas control
valve behind the valve access door), which ignites
the pilot light by means of a spark at the pilot light
assembly. Do not attempt to light the unit with a
match or by any means other than the piezoelectric
spark.

AND
The standing pilot light on this gas heater is lit by
using a piezoelectric spark generator as described
elsewhere in this manual. Never attempt to light the
pilot or main burner by hand with a match or lighter.
If, after repeated attempts, the pilot light fails to
light, discontinue operation; turn off the gas at the
gas control valve, and immediately contact qualified
service personnel for assistance.

IGHTING
Prepare for the lighting procedure by adjusting the
thermostat (if equipped) to its lowest setting or OFF
position. If the gas control knob is not in the OFF
position, turn the knob fully clockwise to OFF.
Locate the variable output control knob and turn it
fully clockwise to the highest setting.
Prior to lighting the unit for the first time, wait 5
minutes to allow any residual gas within the unit to
dissipate. 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. If you do not smell gas after this five-
minute period, proceed with the lighting procedure.
If you do smell gas, DO NOT proceed with the
lighting procedure. Instead,
immediately refer to
the What To Do If You Smell Gas Warning, on
the cover of this manual.
WARNING: THE VALVE CONTROL HAS AN
INTERLOCK DEVICE. AFTER SHUTTING OFF
ALL GAS FLOW, THE PILOT BURNER CANNOT
BE RELIT UNTIL THE THERMOCOUPLE HAS
COOLED, ALLOWING THE ELECTROMAGNET
TO BE RELEASED (APPROX. 60 SECONDS). THE
GAS CONTROL KNOB IS DESIGNED TO
OPERATE BY HAND. DO NOT USE ANY TOOLS
DURING THIS OPERATION. DAMAGED KNOBS
MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
