Proper Log Placement

Log placement is critical to proper burner performance. Logs must 
be correctly positioned onto the burner. The photos in this manual 
show the proper pinned position for logs on this set. Owners need 
to be shown proper log placement and instructed not to move the 
logs.

Candles

Avoid the use of scented or decorative candles while the log set is in 
operation. Candles produce a residue in the air that creates a soot like

the problem. It should be noted that candles, in general, produce 
soot. The amount of time burned and the quantity of candles burned 
will determine the amount of soot produced and deposited.

Make Owners Aware of Proper Log Set Operation

Properly installed and properly maintained log sets do not deposit 
soot on the logs. If users see soot appear on a log, call for service. 
Do not continue to operate the log set.
