F. Depress the manual gas control knob. Using a
match, light the pilot light. If lighting a heater with
decorative grid kit use a long match to light the
pilot through the grid. See Figure 10. Hold the knob
down for approximately 30 seconds to allow any
air in gas lines to pass through pilot and, once pilot
is lit, allow the thermocouple to heat up enough to
activate the safety valve in an open position.
G. Release manual gas control knob and turn to ON.
H. Reset thermostat to desired temperature.
NOTE
During the initial startup of heater, an odor and,
perhaps, some vapor will come from the heater. This
is the gasket binding material emitting this odor and/
or vapor. After approximately 20 minutes, this odor will
disappear and not occur again.
