The logs in the American Gas Log WC-181 should be handled carefully as they become fragile after burning. They must be placed according to the specific instructions found in Section 5 of the manual when relighting. The condition of the logs should be checked during annual inspections, and they should be cleaned regularly using a vacuum or dry paint brush. Always turn off the gas to the pilot before handling or cleaning the logs.
