LIGHTING-UP PROCEDURE
FUEL SETTINGS ------------------------------------------ FAN SETTINGS
1. Priming the burner
Open the shut-off valve at the fuel tank and set the metering valve control
knob to its highest setting (# 5)
Priming the burner will take between 5-10 minutes. The burner is primed
once a pool of fuel roughly 2.5-3 inches in diameter has formed inside it.
Do not light the burner if the pool of fuel is growing and flooding the
burner.
The fan can be switched ‘OFF’ during the priming step.
2. Burning the primer fuel
Set the metering valve control knob to ‘OFF’ before you ignite the primer
fuel in the burner. Keep the valve in its ‘OFF’ position while the primer
fuel is burning.
You must monitor the burning primer fuel carefully. We want to burn
80-90% of the priming fuel in order to heat the burner, but the flames
must not be allowed to go out. It will take roughly 10-15 minutes to
burn through most of the priming fuel, so be prepared to move on to
step 3 as soon as the primer fuel is running out.
Switch the fan to ‘ON’ and rotate it’s control clockwise approximately half-
way, until it’s indicator line is oriented down (at the 6 o’clock position)

3. Fuel to Burner
When the priming fuel has nearly been burned up, rotate the valve
control knob counter-clockwise to setting #2 – 2.5. This will allow fuel into
the burner again.
Unlike the primer fuel, which burned in a liquid state, the fuel entering
the now hot burner should begin to vaporize, mixing with air and
burning with a cleaner flame.
The fan must be switched ‘OFF’ for now, allowing the flames to rise and
establish themselves at the burner ring. If the fan is left ‘ON’ at this stage,
the extra air it adds will drag the flames down back into the burner pot.
4. Balancing combustion
Once the flames have become established at the burner ring, continue to
monitor the flames appearance and provide adjustments as required.
Remain with the appliance! As the appliance and its fuel continue to
warm up, fuel will begin to flow faster and will likely need to be
reduced.
If the flames turn orange or red in color, you will need to reduce fuel in
order to maintain fuel/air balance within the burner.
Air can also be added by turning the fan on at a low speed at this point.
Adding air will also help to balance the fuel-air mixture if the flames begin
to appear orange-red in color.
