GENERAL INFORMATION

These vented decorative gas log sets incorporate uni-body constructed ceramic fiber logs and ember bed burner which glow realistically when the ap- pliance is in operation.

These units are remote controlled-decorative rated and are equipped with millivolt gas valves. The remote control allows for flame height adjustment, timer and on/off control.

A spark ignition system (piezo) allows the gas pilot to be lit without the use of matches or bat- teries and permits operation of the heater during a power outage.

These log sets come with a Floor Media Kit in- cluded. This kit is used to blend the floor and the log set together for a more natural look.
