INSTALLATION
Continued
INSTALLING THE GRATE
AND LOGS
1. Place the grate over the burner pan. The
grate should "lock" into place over the
corners of the pan (see Figure 8).
2. Place one of the bottom logs on the
grate and slide forward against the front
grate bars. Repeat for other side (see
Figure 9).
5. Place the smaller top logs onto the bot-
tom logs (see Figure 10). Leave as
much open space between logs as pos-
sible to minimize flame impingement
and sooting. Note: Logs may chip if
they are handled roughly or if hit to-
gether while being placed.

OWNER'S MANUAL
GAS SHUTOFF
VALVE OPERATION
Flame Adjustment
Adjust the flame ON/OFF by turning the
gas shutoff valve counterclockwise
to open or clockwise
close, as necessary.
Shutting Off Appliance
Turn gas shutoff valve clockwise
to the OFF position.
CURING LOGS
During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in
period, you may detect an odor from the
appliance as the various paints and com-
pounds used in the manufacturing of this
log set cure. This is a normal and tempo-
rary situation that is not cause for alarm.
However, you may want to provide extra
ventilation to the room during this time.
To ensure proper curing of the logs:
• Ignite a 2" flame and maintain it for 1
hour.
• Burn the logs in consecutive 1 hour pe-
riods raising the flame an additional
2" to full flame height for a total of
three hours.
CLEANING AND
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 exam-
ine and clean the venting system of the
fireplace.
