OPERATING GUIDELINES & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

When lit for the first time, a vent-free log heater will emit a slight odor for about an hour or two. This is a normal occurrence which is due to the "curing" of the logs and the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubri- cants used in the manufacturing process.

Keep control compartments, logs, burners, and areas surrounding the logs clean by vacu- uming or brushing at least twice a year. Temporary removal of the log set may ease the cleaning of the burner and pilot assembly. In cleaning, take care not to alter the settings on the pilot assembly. See the operating instructions supplied with your vent-free log heater for additional cleaning instructions.

WARNING: Logs can be very hot! Allow logs to cool before handling.

IMPORTANT: Turn off the gas supply at the external shutoff valve before servicing appliance. Any safety screen or guard re- moved for servicing must be replaced prior

WARNING: Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface tempera- tures and to stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young children should be carefully su- pervised when they are in the same room as the appliance.

For lighting and operating this vent-free firebox, please refer to the vent-free gas logs manufacturer’s instruction manual.
