Lighting Instructions
1. Turn the gas shut-off valve to OFF.
2. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you
then smell gas STOP! Follow the safety information
on above. If you do not smell gas, go on to the next
step.
3. Light a match and lay it on top of the pan material,
about 2” from the end of the supply side of the pan.
(Fig. 8)
4. Slowly turn the gas shut-off valve ON until the
burner ignites. If the burner does not ignite within
ten (10) seconds with the match burning, turn the
shut-off valve OFF and repeat steps 1 through 4
again.
WARNING: Flame may flare up when ignited. Keep hands and face away from firebox.
Operation and Maintenance
To Adjust the Flame:
Adjust the flame to the desired level by rotating the gas
valve counterclockwise to open or clockwise
to close.
To Turn the Appliance OFF:
Rotate the gas shut-off valve clockwise to OFF.
Proper 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 chim-
ney sweep should examine and clean the venting
system of the fireplace in which the log set is installed.
Appliance Break-In
During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in period, you may
detect an odor from the appliance as the various water-
based paints used in the manufacture of this log set
cure. This is a normal and temporary situation that is
not a cause for alarm. However, you may want to
provide extra ventilation to the room during this time.
To ensure proper curing of the logs:
1. Ignite a 2” flame and maintain it for 1/2 hour.
2. Burn the logs in consecutive 1/2 hour periods,
raising the flame an additional 2” to full flame height
for a total of three hours.
