Thank you for your purchase of a FireStorm® Steel Gas Log from Warming Trends. We appreciate your business and hope
that you enjoy your FireStorm for many years to come!
BURNER SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and follow the entire Warming Trends Owner's Guide and Instruction Manual to install and operate your
outdoor gas burner system. During the installation of your burner system, for safe lighting, orient the burner so that
one end of it is easily reachable while operating the key valve.
Please follow all instructions of this Owner's Manual regarding the use of approved media coverage over the
burner. The approved media will form a bed upon which to place the FireStorm Steel Gas Log. It is recommended
that a flat bed of media two inches wider and longer than the FireStorm Steel Gas Log be formed.
INSTALLATION OF THE FIRESTORM STEEL GAS LOG
Your FireStorm Steel Gas Log may have sharp edges. Please handle carefully or wear appropriate gloves whenever
handling gas log.
Once your approved media has been installed, place your FireStorm Steel Gas Log over the burner so that the burner
is centered underneath it. Your steel log has a "lighting opening" at each end to aid in lighting the burner. (See Figure
1 below). Orient the steel log so that one end of the log is near the key valve. Press down upon the log to seat the log
in the media to create a level and stable foundation. Adjust media as necessary.
Adjust your media so that the tip of the jet nearest the end of the log to be used for lighting is exposed. Use this jet for
lighting the burner pursuant to Steps 6 and 7 below.
continues, leave the area immediately. After leaving the area, call your gas supplier or fire department. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in fire or explosion, which could cause property damage, personal
injury, or death.
3. Confirm that your main Natural Gas or Liquid Propane supply to the appliance is open. Do not open your key
valve or gas control at this time.
4. Before lighting, visually inspect fire feature and remove any accumulated leaves or other combustible debris.
5. Locate key valve or gas control valve controlling gas supply to your appliance.
6. Locate the jet tip nearest the "lighting opening" described above that can be easily accessed while operating
key valve or gas control without reaching across other jets or the burner. Reorient burner if necessary to allow
such access.
7. Place a long reach lighter through the "lighting opening" of the gas log slightly above or on the tip of the jet
located in Step 6 above. (See Figure 1). Do not use a match or cigarette lighter.
8. While holding the flame on or slightly above the jet tip as described in Step 7 above, slowly turn the key valve or
gas control knob slightly to the left to allow a minimal flow of gas to the burner and light the selected jet. While
attempting to light jet, do not substantially increase gas supply. Excessive flow of gas before jet is lit can cause
pooling of gas and result in sudden flare up. Failure to follow these instructions could result in fire or explosion,
which could cause property damage, personal injury, or death.
9. Once the selected jet (or other jets) is lit, continue to keep any body parts from above the pit or burner and
slowly turn the key valve or gas control knob further to the left to increase the flow of gas to the burner. The other
jets of the burner should ignite.

10. If the flame will not stay lit after several attempts, turn the key valve or gas control to the off position and call your
local technician or gas supplier for service prior to re-attempting to operate your appliance.
11. Once lit, use the key valve or gas control to adjust the flame to the desired height.
TURNING OFF YOUR MATCH LIT BURNER
1. Use key to turn valve to OFF position by turning the valve to the right.
2. Verify flame is OUT.
3. If using LP bottle/tank, turn bottle/tank to CLOSED position.
4. Allow to cool completely, then cover the fire feature with waterproof/weatherproof cover.
APPEARANCE
Your steel log should patina over time by forming a layer of rust or oxidation. The coloring may change and the log
will look more natural. Each log develops a unique patina pattern based upon use and weather conditions. Heat will
also create distinctive color changes to your log's surface.
CLEANING STEEL LOG
Soot may build up along the openings in the log or on its surface in general. Annual cleaning is recommended.
G E N E R A L M A I N T E N A N C E
Any guard or protective device removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified technician. Appliances should be inspected prior to each use and
inspected at least once annually by a qualified gas appliance service professional.
Ensure gas and power (if applicable) are shut off and fire feature is cool before servicing.
Keep fire feature covered at all times when not in use.
Keep any debris out of appliance - clean as needed. If debris is found, remove before lighting system.
JET ORIFICE CLEANING
Annual inspection and cleaning of the fire feature is recommended. If at any time the flames exhibit any abnormal
shapes or behavior or if burner fails to ignite properly, the holes located in the base of the gas jet orifices may require
cleaning. The appliance can be cleaned by carefully removing the logs and media to allow access to burner. Use a
brush to carefully remove dust, spider webs, and loose particles. Periodical inspection by a qualified service technician
of the air-intake on the side of the jet is recommended to ensure your fire feature performs properly.
If a jet is clogged, use a wire or small puncture tool and carefully insert in jet. Tool should be the size of a small paper
clip.
SEMI-ANNUALLY
Every six months, or as needed, remove media, lava rock, or glass from around the pilot assembly. Clean the
thermocouple of any soot using a soft brush. Be careful not to damage the igniter element. Be sure when returning
your media to the feature to avoid over covering the jets or the pilot assembly as detailed on page 35.
If the gas is not consistently flowing from the pilot gas orifice, it should also be cleaned. Remove the wind cage cap
and clean the opening on the side of the orifice of any debris or soot that may be obstructing gas flow from the pilot
gas orifice. Replace the wind cage cap when done.
WARNING:
Fire feature should be inspected by user prior to each use and inspected at least once annually by a qualified gas
appliance service professional.
