THIS APPLIANCE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH ANY VENTED OR UNVENTED GAS LOG SET. TO

Remove all sources of gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or other
appliances prior to lighting.
Use Solid wood, processed solid fire logs (or other specified type) fuel only.
WARNING: Do not build fire too close to door glass. Do not poke or stir the logs while they are burning. Use
only firelogs that have been evaluated for the application in fireplace and refer to firelog warnings and caution
markings on packaging prior to use.
Use plenty of newspaper and kindling to ensure the appliance quickly reaches a proper temperature. Once the
kindling is burning rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fire.
Tip: When first lighting a fire, if the smoke is not quickly drawn into the chimney, there may be a downdraft or cold air
in the chimney. By first burning large amounts of crumpled newspaper, the chimney will get heated and the smoke will
quickly vent up the chimney.
A. To start, a brisk fire is required.
Roll up some newspaper
(loosely crumpled), light it and
place it near the appliance flue
until the chimney begins to
draw.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other forces.
Inadequate draft may cause back-puffing into the room and may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft may
cause an excessive temperature in the appliance, glowing red appliance parts or an uncontrollable burn which can
all lead to a chimney fire or a permanent damage to the appliance.
