OPERATION
FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a re or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
A. This appliance requires ignition by match lighting. When lighting the appliance, follow these in-
structions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the oor
because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the oor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the re department
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not
push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualied service technician. Forced or attempted
repair may result in re or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualied service
technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
E. Solid fuels shall not be burned in a replace where a decorative appliance is installed.
F. A replace screen must be in place when the appliance is operating and, unless
other provisions for combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an opening(s) for introduction
of combustion air.
During the 3 hour "curing period" of the appliance, you may detect an odor from the appliance. Do
not be alarmed, this is a temporary and normal situation, which indicates the various compounds and
paints being used in the log set are curing. Optionally, additional ventilation to the room during this
"curing period" may be something to consider.
Proper curing of the logs should go as follows:
1) Ignite a 2" ame. Maintain for 1 hour
2) Let the logs cool down for 30 minutes
3) Ignite the appliance again, but with the ame 2" higher than the last time. Maintain for 1 hour
4) Repeat steps 2-3 until ame reaches maximum height, and for a total of 3 hours.
IMPORTANT: This gas log set requires curing the rst time that they are put into opera-
tion. You must complete the following instructions for curing to avoid cracking the logs with
continued use.
