WARNING: If you do not follow these directions exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
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 fire department.
1. Turn the gas shut-off valve to OFF.
2. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.
If you then smell gas STOP! Follow the safety
information above. If you don't smell gas, go
on to the next step.
3. Light a match and lay it on top of the pan
material, about 2" from the end of the supply
side of the pan. (Fig. 12)
4. Slowly turn the gas shut-off valve ON until the
burner ignites. If the burner doesn't ignite
within ten (10) seconds with the match burn-
ing, turn the shut-off valve OFF and repeat
steps 1 through 4 again.
WARNING: Flame may flare up when ignited. Keep hands and face away from firebox.
To Adjust the Flame:
Adjust the flame to the desired level by rotating the gas valve counterclockwise
clockwise
to close.
To Turn the Appliance Off:
Rotate the gas shut-off valve clockwise
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.
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.
