Remove all paperwork from the appliance.
Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at
the beginning of this InstallersGuide.
Double-check for gas leaks
• Before lighting the appliance, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations for obstructions.
• Before lighting the appliance, double-check the unit for
possibleobstructions thatcould beblockingthe ventter-
minations.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re-
placedwith anapprovedcomponent.Tamperingwith the
appliancecomponentsisDANGEROUSandvoidsallwar-
ranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the appliance, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete,the appliancewill lightand willoperate normally.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas
valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which
casetheair wouldhave tobe purged.
NOTE: The appliance should be run 3 to 4 hours on the
initialstart-up.Turnit off andlet itcool completely. Remove
andcleantheglass.Replace theglassandruntheappliance

When you light your appliance, you may notice:
This gas appliance produces heat which does have an associ-
ated odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may
require the initial 3-4 hour continuous burn on high followed by
a second burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from
paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the
appliance for gas leaks, you know the vent system is unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components.
Now you’re ready to light the appliance.
