® DIRECT-VENT GAS FIREPLACE

VDDVF36PN/PP and VDDVF36STN/STP Series

OPERATING GUIDELINES AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

When lit for the first time, the appliance may emit a slight odor for about 16 - 24 hours. This is normal and is due to the “curing” of the logs and the “burn-in” of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Keep compartments, logs, burners, and area 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 assem- bly. In cleaning, take care not to alter the pilot or burner location. Be sure appliance is cool before each maintenance session.

CAUTION: The appliance and logs can get very hot - Handle only when cool.

WARNING: Turn off gas and wall switch before servicing ap- pliance. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing the appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.

Any household glass cleaner may be used to clean the glass panel. Do not use abrasive cleaners as this may damage the glass. Clean

glass only when cool.

WARNING: Do not operate appliance with panel(s) and glass removed, cracked, or broken. Re- placement of the panel(s) should be done by a licensed, qualified service person.

WARNING: Make certain wires and gas lines are not touching the underside of the firebox.

CAUTION: If the glass breaks, be cautious of fragments on the floor. Keep children away from the area. Do not operate the unit. Use proper safety gloves to re- move the broken glass door. Dis- card safely. A glass door kit can be ordered through your local distributor. Do not substitute other material for the glass.

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

WARNING: Have a qualified agency periodically inspect the vent system at the start of each heating season, for any obstruc- tion which may hinder its normal operation. Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventila- tion air. Keep the front of the appliance clear of all obstacles and materials.

WARNING: Do not abuse, strike, or slam the glass doors.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when ser- vicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and danger- ous operation.
