The left and right rear flames should be yellow and extend 1"-2" above the mid log top surfaces. The yellow flames should
not contact the logs. There should be glowing embers on the front burner. Note: The front flames and embers will be
an opaque orange color during the burn off time.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Do
not place a blower inside the burn area of the firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter flame patterns. Sooting
and improper burning will result.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with certain oils,
films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are
burned off during the initial operation of the appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is
a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last two to three hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum
ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in will
be slight and will disappear with continued use.
This appliance must not be used with glass doors in the closed position. This can lead to pilot outages and severe sooting
outside the fireplace. See Figure 3, page 11.
