•Do not install the logset in a drafty area or use it with any aftermarket blower system that may cause drafting and con- sequently alter the flame pattern.
•It is imperative that you keep clear all burner areas, control compartments and passageways for circulating air.
•Do not move the logset in any way that might dislodge the logs from their fixed positions. If you bump the logset check to see if you have dislodged anything.
