Location
Centrally locate the unit in the fireplace and deep enough into the firepit to accomplish adequate draft.
Ensure that the grate front feet sit inside the front edge of the fireplace.
Fireplace screen
The fireplace screen must be in place when the appliance is operating, and unless other provisions
for combustion air are made, the screen must have an opening(s) for the introduction of combustion
air.
Important Safeguards
Although your gas logs are very realistic in appearance, it is not a real wood burning fireplace and must not be used for
burning rejected material.
To avoid irreparable damage to the appliance or personal injury, matches, paper, garbage, or any other solid fuels must
not be placed or thrown on top of the logs or into the flames.
To avoid personal injury, do not touch any hot surface of the appliance when it is in operation.
Touch only the control knob. Avoid contact with the grate feet or prongs or any other part which may be very hot.
Always ensure that the fireplace screen is closed when the appliance is operating and provisions are made for
combustion air. This appliance is not certified for use with glass doors in a closed position.
Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is operated near children.
Cleaning
CAUTION: Before cleaning or moving logs or other parts of the unit, be sure to read the above sections on important
safeguards.
All cleaning should be done when the appliance is cold.
Only limited cleaning will be required under normal use. Dusting the front grate, the top of the cover, or the control knob
panel may be required occasionally. Do not use any cleaning fluid to clean the logs or any other part of the appliance.
If the flames show any unusual shapes or behavior, or if the burners fail to ignite properly, then the burner holes may
require cleaning. If this occurs, do not operate the appliance.
Contact your nearest dealer to get your appliance serviced. The air holes on the left bottom rear burner tube may
cause the flames to become 4 ½" or taller when clogged, requiring the tube to be cleaned with a wire or pipe cleaner.
Alternatively, the appliance can be cleaned by removing the top, front, and rear logs. Handle the logs gently as to not
damage the fiber pieces. Always lift each log by holding it carefully at both ends.
Carefully use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and loose particles from the base, logs, and from around the burners.
Gloves are recommended to prevent the fibers from breaking your skin. If the skin is broken, wash gently with soap and
water.
Servicing
Repair and replacement work should only be done by a qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materials, etc.
It is imperative that the control compartment is maintained clean and free of obstructions.
Always shut off the gas supply and make sure the appliance is cool before beginning any service operation.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing a gas appliance must be replaced before operating the heater.
Always check for gas leaks after servicing.
Repair Parts
A parts list with exploded views is on page 7. Always include correct name, part number, and model number of the
appliance when ordering service parts.
