VENTED NATURAL GAS LOGS

TESTING BURNER FOR LEAKS

1.Generously apply soapy solution to all connections.

WARNING: Never check for gas leaks with open flame.

2.Light the burner with the shutoff valve no more than half open and holding a match slightly in front of the pan (see Lighting Instructions, column 2).

3.Inspect all connections for bubbles, raw gas odor, or flame from any area other than the burner (leaks). If leaks are de- tected, shut off the gas valve immedi- ately. Tighten, or reassemble the loose connection(s) using pipe joint com- pound until burner system is leak free.

4.When the burner is tested and leak free, observe the individual tongues of flame on the burner. Note: The burner design includes more ports on the outside of the bar. Make sure that all ports are clear and producing flame evenly across the burner. If any ports appear blocked, clear them by removing the burner manifold and reaming the ports with a modified paper clip or other suitable tool.

5.When finished testing, turn the gas shutoff valve OFF to extinguish all flames.

ADDING PAN MATERIAL

1.Open the bag of Ash Bed Material (ver- miculite) and spread it evenly across the burner pan to the top.You may over- flow the front and sides of the pan to cover the entire pan and connecting hardware.

2.Open the glowing embers and evenly cover the Ash Bed Material (vermicu- lite) in the burner pan.

CURING LOGS

During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in period, you may detect an odor from the appliance as the various paints and com- pounds used in the manufacturing of this log set cure. This is a normal and tempo- rary situation that is not cause for alarm. However, you may want to provide extra ventilation to the room during this time. To ensure proper curing of the logs:

•Ignite a 2" flame and maintain it for 1 hour.

•Burn the logs in consecutive 1 hour pe- riods raising the flame an additional 2" to full flame height for a total of three hours.
