Alternatively, at least annually, the glass enclo-
sure panel should be removed and the inside of
the firebox and the control compartments
cleaned using a vacuum cleaner to remove
dust. Remove the top and bottom logs, gently
handling by holding each log at each end and
set on a piece of paper or cloth to avoid getting
any debris on carpet or floor. Use the vacuum
cleaner to remove the embers from the base
and walls of the firebox and from around the
burners. More frequent cleaning may be re-
quired due to excessive lint from carpeting
material, etc. It is important that control com-
partments, burners and circulating air pas-
sageways of the heater be kept clean. Replace
the logs as detailed in Step 9 Log Assembly.
Place Rockwool on screen of front burner.
CAUTION: REPLACE THE GLASS ENCLOSURE
PANEL BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE (RE-
FER TO STEP 11).
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Even though your CF appliance gives a very
realistic appearance of a wood-burning fire, it
must not be used for burning wood or other
similar materials. To avoid damage to the appli-
ance or possible personal injury, matches, pa-
per, garbage or any other material must not be
placed or thrown on top of the logs or into the
flames. Always ensure that the appliance glass
enclosure panel is firmly fixed in place. Do not
remove the glass enclosure panel during nor-
mal operation of the appliance.
To avoid personal injury, do not touch hot
surfaces when the appliance is operating. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the
appliance is in use.
SPECIAL WARNINGS
Do not open the louvered control compartment
access panel from the middle when unit is hot.
Only the ends of the louvers are cool to the
touch.
The glowing logs are manufactured from bonded
ceramic fiber which is commonly used material
in the heating industry worldwide.
Maintenance
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE
WITH A BROKEN, DAMAGED OR MISSING

levels measured at the appliance vent outlet
exceed 1/1000 of 1% after (10 Min) of burn-
ing. Replacement of the catalytic component
should only be completed by a qualified ser-
vice person at least every 20 years.

structed (
