GAS LINE HOOK-UP SHOULD BE DONE BY YOUR GAS SUPPLIER OR A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON. NOTE: BEFORE YOU PROCEED, BE SURE YOUR GAS SUPPLY IS OFF!

OPERATING GUIDELINES AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS When lit for the first time, the Unvented Fireplace will omit a slight odor for about an hour or two. This is a normal occurrence which is due to the "curing" of logs and "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Keep control compartment, logs, burners, and area surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
