BEFORE THE STOVE IS LIT
CAUTION: Lighting the Tucson for the first
time and adjustments to the unit should be
performed by qualified service personnel.
WARNING:
If you do not follow these instructions
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Initial Adjustments
Once the Tucson has been set in place and
connected as described in the Gas Supply &
Connections and Electrical Connections sections of
this manual, the unit is ready to be lit for the first
time. The manufacturer tests each unit prior to
shipment, so ignition should take place without
failure. However, a number of small adjustments
may be necessary to compensate for variations in
gas pressure, altitude, and other factors particular to
each installation.
Smoke and Fumes Warning
When lit for the first time, the unit 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.
