G. Glass Doors

If your fireplace is equipped with a glass door, the glass doors should be in the full open position when the appliance is operating. Operating the fireplace with the glass doors closed will block the radiant heat output of the fireplace and may cause incomplete combustion of the natural or propane gas fuel.

Important! Always ensure that the wire fireplace screen is closed when the fireplace is operating.

H. Cleaning

Your gas logs require little care. Keep the burner assembly, logs and burner area surrounding the logs clean by vacuum- ing or brushing with a dry paint brush at least twice a year.

Caution:

The logs can get very hot. Handle only when they are cool.

Caution:

After burning, the log becomes fragile, so take care in handling.

Always turn off the gas to the pilot before cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting instructions located on pages 10 and 11.

Always keep the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance clear of all obstacles and materials.

Leave clearance of at least 36” from the front of the fireplace.

The air shutter should not be blocked.

I. Inspecting the Venting System

The fireplace venting system is designed and constructed to develop a positive flow adequate to remove flue gases to the outside atmosphere. See vented fireplace installation instructions.

1. A spillage test must be made before the installed appliance is left with the consumer.

a.Close all doors and windows in the home.

b.Light the log set.

c.After three minutes, test with a smoke match, smoke candle, stick incense, or cigarette 1” below the top of the opening (lintel) moving across the full width. See Figure 16. If spillage (smoke drawn into the room) occurs, it will most likely be near the top, outside corners.
