7Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct
flame (see the illustration below).
¥The air shutter adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas before it exits the burner holes.
It is used to fine-tune the flame for differences in altitude and vent configuration.

Flames should be blue at the

If the flames are all blue and
short, pull down the lever.
Not Enough Air Too Much Air
Locate the air shutter adjustment
lever behind the gas control valve.
Move it up or down until the flame
is correct. Pushing up gives the
flame more air (making it bluer).
Pulling it down cuts air down,
making it more orange.
NOTE: If the air control is all the

sooty, shut off gas to the fireplace
and contact a qualified gas service
technician. NOTE: The logs must be installed correctly to
monitor the flame while adjusting the air shutter.

!If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the heater to
lift or "ghost" Ð a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to insure proper
performance. If the vent configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off
gas to the heater and contact the dealer for information on remedying the problem.
The flames should burn right off
the top of the burner ports (if they
are too blue, adjust the air control).
If the flames are lifting, yet the

Flame Adjust Knob This knob controls the flame height from low ("LO") to high ("HI"). The
pointer to the upper left of the knob indicates the setting.
Pilot Igniter The pilot igniter is used only to start the pilot. When pressed, it sends an
electrical charge to the pilot assembly. This creates a blue spark directly next
to the pilot, igniting the pilot flame.
Blower Knob This knob controls the speed of the internal convection blower that pushes the
heated air into the room.
?If using a remote control or thermostat, the On/Off Switch must be left "ON". Turning the On/Off
Switch "OFF" will keep the heater off always.

OPERATING YOUR HEATER (CONTINUED)PAGE 19
Starting The Pilot Flame
The pilot flame is required to ignite the main
burners (it also plays a safety role). It should
be left on once lit. It will stay lit unless the
gas control valve is turned to "OFF".
However, the pilot will go out if the gas is shut
off, the propane tank runs out (or low) or if the
stove malfunctions. If the pilot turns off
frequently, call your dealer for information.
To start the pilot follow the directions below:
WARNING:
When lighting or re-lighting the pilot, the
glass must be removed (see page 14).
aRemove the glass (see page 14 for details).
bPush the gas control knob in slightly and
turn it to the "OFF" position. The knob will
not turn from "ON" to "OFF" unless the
knob is depressed slightly. Wait five
minutes to let any gas that may have
accumulated inside the firebox escape. If
you smell leaking gas, follow the directions
on the cover "IF YOU SMELL GAS".
cTurn the gas control knob to the "PILOT"
position and press the knob in, this will
allow gas to flow to the pilot light. Press the
red button on the pilot igniter repeatedly
until you see the pilot light.
WARNING:
If the pilot does not light after 15
seconds, release the knob and call your
dealer for service. Do not attempt to
light pilot until service has been
performed.
NOTE:
You may wish to remove the log set to
gain a better view of the pilot (see page
15).
dKeep the gas control knob depressed for 30
seconds once it is lit.
eRelease the gas control knob. If the pilot
goes out, repeat step C. If the pilot refuses
to stay lit, call your dealer for service. With
the pilot lit, proceed to step ÒfÓ.
fReplace the glass.
gTurn the gas control knob counter-
clockwise to "ON". The pilot is now lit and
the heater can be turned on and off.

PAGE 20 OPERATING YOUR HEATER (CONTINUED)
Starting the Heater for the First Time
+Start the heater and allow it to burn on medium for one hour. This will help cure the paint.
+ Fumes and smoke from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel may occur the first time you
start your heater. This is normal. We recommend you open windows to vent the room.
+ Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the heater - this is normal.
+ Blue Flames will occur on the heater when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will
turn a more realistic yellow and orange color.
?Certain installations use a remote "wall switch" to turn the heater on and off. If this is the case, leave
the ON/OFF switch "ON".
