OWNER’S MANUAL
OPERATING
GUIDELINES AND
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
When lit for the first time, the appliance may
emit a slight odor for about 16 - 24 hours.
This is normal and is due to the “curing” of
the logs and the “burn-in” of internal paints
and lubricants used in the manufacturing
process. Keep compartments, logs, burners,
and area surrounding the logs clean by vacu-
uming or brushing at least twice a year.
Temporary removal of the log set may ease
the cleaning of the burner and pilot assem-
bly. In cleaning, take care not to alter the
pilot or burner location. Be sure appliance is
cool before each maintenance session.
CAUTION: The appliance and
logs can get very hot - Handle
only when cool.
WARNING: Do not operate
appliance with panel(s) and glass
removed, cracked, or broken. Re-
placement of the panel(s) should
be done by a licensed, qualified
service person.
WARNING: Make certain wires
and gas lines are not touching
the underside of the firebox.
CAUTION: If the glass breaks,
be cautious of fragments on the
floor. Keep children away from
the area. Do not operate the unit.
Use proper safety gloves to re-
move the broken glass door. Dis-
card safely. A glass door kit can
be ordered through your local
distributor. Do not substitute
other material for the glass.
WARNING: Children and
adults should be alerted to the
hazards of high surface tempera-
tures, and to stay away from the
appliance to avoid burns or cloth-
ing ignition. Young children
should be carefully supervised
when they are in the same room
as the appliance.
WARNING: Have a qualified
service agency periodically in-
spect the vent system at the start
of each heating season, for any
obstruction which may hinder
its normal operation. Never ob-
struct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air. Keep the front
of the appliance clear of all ob-
stacles and materials.
WARNING: Do not abuse,
strike, or slam the glass doors.
CAUTION: Label all wires
prior to disconnection when ser-
vicing controls. Wiring errors
can cause improper and danger-
ous operation.
For further operating guidelines, contact
your authorized dealer.
Any household glass cleaner may be used to
clean the glass panel. Do not use abrasive
cleaners as this may damage the glass. Clean
glass only when cool.
WARNING: Turn off gas and
wall switch before servicing ap-
pliance. Any safety screen or
guard removed for servicing the
appliance must be replaced prior
to operating the appliance.
