Flames from the pilot (rear right back side of the pan burner) as
well as the main ame should be visually checked as the log set
is installed.
In normal operation at full rate after 10 to 15 minutes, the ame
appearance should be sets of yellow ames.
NOTE: All ames will be random by design, ame height will go
up and down.
Glowing embers (rock wool) can cover the pan burner in between
the front and middle logs, but very little is necessary to cover this
area. Excess ember material causes the yellow ame to become
orange and stringy. Apply just enough to obtain slow glow and a
gold yellow ame.
Avoid any drafts that alter burner ame patterns. Do not allow fans to
blow directly into replace. Do not place a blower inside the burner
area of the rebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter ame
patterns. Sooting and improper burning will result.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components
of this appliance are treated with certain oils, lms or bonding agents.
These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke
and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the
appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This
is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with the burner
at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening
windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining
after this initial break-in will be slight and will disappear with
continued use.
Once the break in operation has been completed, adjust the heater
to the desired output and then replace the upper and lower louvers.

• Remove loose particles and dust from the burner areas,
controls, piezo covers and grate. Don’t remove ceramic media
from inside burner box.
• Inspect and clean burner air intake hole. Remove lint or particles

• Inspect ODS pilot for operation and accumulation of lint at air
intake holes.
• Verify ame pattern and log placement for proper operation.
