To raise the flame height, turn the black knob (located behind the
lower control compartment) counter-clockwise.
 To lower the flame height, turn clockwise.

General
 Have the fireplace and installation inspected yearly. The
inspection must include, but is not limited to, the following:
 A visual check of the entire vent system and termination.
 An inspection of the explosion relief flappers and the door gaskets
to ensure a proper seal.
 An inspection of the burner, vent run, and primary air openings.
 An inspection of the gas valve, gas components, and pilot flame.
For your convenience a 1/8" manifold pressure tap is supplied
on the gas valve for a test gauge connection.
 Ensure proper log placement as per this manual.
 Inspection of all optional equipment; fans, thermostats, etc.
 Inspection of all glass doors and screens for damage and proper
installation.
 For Natural Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure
of 5.5" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C.
 For Propane Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure
of 11" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.
 Always keep the fireplace area clear and free of combustible
materials, as well as gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
 Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking and
a visible film may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition, and is
the result of burning of protective coatings on new metal.

Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which is a
normal by-product of combustion) which may be visible. Film can
easily be removed by removing the door, as shown on Page 20.
Handle the door carefully, and clean it with non-abrasive glass
cleaners. One of the most effective products is Kel Kem or White-off.
 Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas", leaving
a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion chamber walls.
This can easily be removed from the chamber walls using normal
household products.
 Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control
compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
 Logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot
or other contaminates.
Do not use ammonia based or abrasive cleaners on the glass, they will permanently
etch the surface. Use an approved gas fireplace glass cleaner such as Kel-Kem or
White off.
NOTICE
