CAUTION: If the glass breaks, be cautious of frag- ments 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.

CAUTION: Do not vacuum if pieces are hot.

WARNING: Do not operate fireplace with the glass doors removed, cracked, or broken.

PILOT AND BURNERS

•Remove ember material before cleaning burners and replace when cleaning is complete.

•Burner and controls should be cleaned with compressed air to remove dust, dirt, or lint.

•Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled brush to remove excess dust, dirt, or lint.

LOGS

•If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Installing Log Set, be- ginning on page 18, to properly replace logs.

•Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any carbon build-up on logs.

•Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement Parts on page 23.

•Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replace- ment Parts on page 23.

VENTING SYSTEM

Conduct annual inspection of the venting system following these guidelines:

1.Check areas of venting system that are exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust spots or streaks and, in extreme cases, holes). Have these items replaced immediately by a qualified service person.

2.Remove the vent cap and shine a flashlight into the vent. Re- move any foreign material.

3.Check for evidence of excessive condensation. Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipes, and fittings and can be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows, or exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.

4.Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section or fitting has been disturbed and loosened. Check mechanical supports such as wall straps for rigidity.

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing prop- erty damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A.This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

B.BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

•Do not try to light any appliance.

•Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.

•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de- partment.

C.Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified service techni- cian or gas supplier. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

D.Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
