Before you begin — This unit is supplied with four ceramic fiber logs. Do not handle these logs with your bare hands.
Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from ceramic fibers. After handling the logs, wash your hands gently with
soap and water to remove any traces of fibers.
The positioning of the logs are critical to the safe and clean operation of this heater.
Sooting and other problems may result if the logs are not properly and firmly positioned
in the appliance. Never add additional logs or embellishments such as pine cones,
vermiculite or rock wool to the heater. Only use the logs supplied with the unit.
Failure to position the parts in accordance with diagrams below or to use only parts
specifically approved for this heater may result in property damage or personal
injury.
