For Your Safety Read Before Lighting
WARNING: If you do not follow these directions exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
Operation and Maintenance
To Adjust the Flame:
Adjust the flame to the desired level by rotating the gas valve counterclockwise
to open or
clockwise to close.
To Turn the Appliance Off:
Rotate the gas shut-off valve clockwise
to off.
Proper Maintenance:
• Keep the area around the log set clean and clear of debris.
• Occasionally, you may use a soft bristle brush to clean logs.
• Once every year, a qualified agency or certified chimney sweep should examine and clean the
venting system of the fireplace in which the log set is installed.
Appliance Break-In
During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in period, you may detect an odor from the appliance as the
various water-based paints used in the manufacture of this log set cure. This is a normal and tempo-
rary situation that is not a cause for alarm. However, you may want to provide extra ventilation to the
room during this time.
To ensure proper curing of the logs:
1) Ignite a 2” flame and maintain it for 1/2 hour.
2) Burn the logs in consecutive 1/2 hour periods, raising the flame an additional 2” to full flame
height for a total of three hours.
Lighting Instructions
WARNING: Flame may flare up when ignited. Keep hands and face away from firebox.
