DECORATIVE FACING
Any non-combustible material may be used for facing (glass,
tile, brick, etc.) as long as the proper clearances are observed
(Refer to the section on Clearances). Louvered openings must
not be obstructed, and upper and lower panels must remain
removable for servicing. Use only heat-resistant, non-
combustible mortar or adhesive when securing facing
material.
NOTE: COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL, SUCH AS WOOD,
THAT HAS BEEN FIREPROOFED IS NOT CONSIDERED
NON-COMBUSTIBLE.
OPERATING GUIDELINES AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
When lit for the first time, the appliance may emit a slight
odor for about 16-24 hours. This is normal and is due to the
“curing” of the logs and the “burn-in” of internal paints and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
Keep compartments, logs, burners, and area surrounding the
logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
Temporary removal of the log set may ease the cleaning of the
burner and pilot assembly.
In cleaning, take care not to alter the pilot or burner location.
BE SURE APPLIANCE IS COOL BEFORE EACH
MAINTENANCE SESSION.
FOR FURTHER OPERATING GUIDELINES,
CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER.
IMPORTANT: Turn off gas and wall switch before
servicing appliance. Any safety screen or guard removed for
servicing the appliance must be replaced prior to operating
the appliance.
CAUTION: THE APPLIANCE AND LOGS CAN GET
VERY HOT-HANDLE ONLY WHEN COOL!
Any household glass cleaner may be used to clean the glass
panel. Do not use abrasive cleaners as this may damage the
glass. Clean glass only when cool.

touching the underside of the firebox.
IF THE GLASS BREAKS, be cautious of fragments on the
floor. Keep children away from the area. Do not operate the
unit. Use proper safety gloves to remove the broken glass
door. Discard safely. A glass door kit can be ordered through
your local distributor. Do not substitute other material for the
glass.
Have a qualified agency periodically inspect the vent system
at the start of each heating season, for any obstruction,
which may hinder its normal operation. Never obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the front of the
appliance clear of all obstacles and materials.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation.
