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 lubricants used in the manufacturing process.

Keep control compartments, logs, burners and areas surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming 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 exter- nal shutoff valve before servicing appliance. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.

Installation and repair should be done by a quali- fied person. The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, pet hair, etc. It is imperative that the control compart- ments, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.

WARNING: Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards ofhighsurface tempera- tures and to stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.Young children should be carefully supervised 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 manufactur- er’s instruction manual.
