iNSTRUCTiONS
When lit for the first time, a vent-free log heater will
emit a slight odor for about an hour or two. This is
a normal occurrence which is due to the “curing”
of the logs and the “burn-in” of internal paints and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
Keep control compartments, logs, burners and
areas surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or
brushing at least twice a year. Temporary removal
of the log set may ease the cleaning of the burner
and pilot assembly. In cleaning, take care not to
alter the settings on the pilot assembly. See the
operating instructions supplied with your vent-free
log heater for additional cleaning instructions.
WARNING: Logs can be very
hot! Allow logs to cool before
handling.
IMPORTANT: Turn off the gas supply at the exter-
nal shutoff valve before servicing appliance. Any
safety screen or guard removed for servicing must
be replaced prior to operating the appliance.
Installation and repair should be done by a quali-
fied person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a professional
service person. More frequent cleaning may be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting, pet
hair, etc. It is imperative that the control compart-
ments, burners and circulating air passageways of
the appliance be kept clean.
WARNING: Children and
adults should be alerted to the
hazards of high surface tempera-
tures and to stay away to avoid
burns or clothing ignition. Young
children should be carefully
supervised when they are in the
same room as the appliance.
For lighting and operating this vent-free firebox,
please refer to the vent-free gas logs manufactur-
er’s instruction manual.
