3.0OPERATING GUIDELINES AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small amount of air will be in the lines. When first lighting the pilot light, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is com- plete, the pilot and burner will light and operate as indi- cated in the instruction manual. Subsequent lighting of the appliance will not require such purging.
!WARNING: BE SURE FIREPLACE SCREEN OR GLASS DOORS ARE IN PLACE WHEN
BURNING FIREPLACE LOGS. UNLESS OTHER PROVISIONS FOR COMBUSTION AIR ARE PRO- VIDED, THE SCREEN OR DOORS SHALL HAVE AN OPENING FOR INTRODUCTION OF COM- BUSTION AIR. THIS GAS LOG SET IS NOT DE- SIGNED TO OPERATE WITH AIR TIGHT GLASS DOORS. IF GAS ODOR IS NOTICEABLE, TURN CONTROL KNOB TO "OFF" POSITION AND CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS FOR LEAKS. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME. ADEQUATE COMBUS- TION AND COOLING AIR MUST BE PROVIDED OR THE UNIT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
The following conditions must not cause spillage of combustion products:
•cold chimney or flue system
•open or closed doors or windows
•operation of any exhaust or extraction fans
•operation of any other gas appliance in the room or dwelling
Proper means must be employed to ensure sufficient draft.

The thermocouple should be engulfed in the pilot flame (see Figure 3).
Periodically examine the area around the burner neck and the pilot. Any dirt or lint in this area should be removed. This will ensure long life and trouble free operation. When the appliance is put back in service, check the burner flame patterns.
The appliance and venting system should be inspected before initial use and inspected and cleaned at least annu- ally by an authorized field service person.
