Test operation and lighting sequence
It may take approximately two hours of operation for the logs to achieve their full flame pattern and
glow. During this burning in period some smoke and smell may be experienced. The appliance
should run on the high setting in a well ventilated room until these dissipate. It is important to check
the flame pattern during this time.

blocked gas injectors or log set that may have shifted. There are some warning signs that could

-
-
Flame appears either very short or very long
