Figure 18 - Setting logs and lava rock

PLACING LOGS AND LAVA ROCKS Assemble ceramic logs by placing the large base log to the rear of grate assembly (Figure 18). Add front logs with “burned through” features to front left and right. Place lava rocks on center of burner. Stack top logs vertically in center of log stack. Adjust as required to provide realistic flame.

(Warning: If flames get trapped under logs the result will be black soot on logs and front face of fireplace. Take extra care to adjust logs to correct this condition).

OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

When the appliance is being operated for the first time, allow for a supervised burn of 30 minutes. Then shut the appliance off and let it cool completely before relighting. This allows proper curing time for the logs. (After several hours the logs will discolor slightly, this is normal.)

MAINTENANCE

It is recommended that a competent serviceman perform the following procedures at least annually; WARNING: Any change to this fireplace or its co- mponents can be dangerous. Any safety screen or guard removed from fireplace for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the heater. At the beginning of each heating season, have a qualified technician inspect the

burner and pilot burner area for dust or carbon build-up. This may be removed from the burner or logs with a soft bristle brush. A visual inspection of the pilot burner and main burner flame should be performed to verify proper operation, refer to operating instructions for proper adjustment. Care should be taken when cleaning and handling logs since they become brittle with use. Small heat cracks in the logs do not affect the operation of the log set.

Cleaning Stainless Steel

General cleaning may be accomplished by using a household cleaning solution and warm water. The exterior may be cleaned using the same method. Badly soiled or tarnished areas can be clean using a “scotch brite” pad. Always scrub in same direction of material finish.

Do not use caustic cleaners on fireplace as it may cause damage to control and electric components.
