Caution: Avoid inhaling fumes emitted from the heater’s
rst use. Smoke and odor from the burning
of oils used in manufacturing will appear. Both smoke and
odor will dissipate after approximately 30 minutes. The
heater should NOT produce thick black smoke.
Note: The burner may be noisy when initially turned on. To
eliminate excessive noise from the burner,
turn the control knob to the PILOT position. Then, turn the
knob to the level of heat desired.
Note: In normal conditions, the height of the ame is 2/3
the height of the glass tube when set in “Hi” position and
1/3 the height in “Low”. The ame should be stable and
bright with no noise or black smoke. The opposite would be
abnormal conditions.
