GENERAL INFORMATION
These Dual-Listed Gas Log Appliances incor-
porate unitized ceramic fiber logs which glow
realistically when the appliance is operating.
The gas log sets covered in this document are
heater rated units. These units are equipped
with either a standard manual gas valve or a
millivolt gas valve. The control knob is set to the
desired position, which maintains a continuous
gas burning rate.
A spark ignition system (piezo) allows the gas
pilot to be lit without the use of matches or
batteries and permits operation of the heater
during a power outage.
