OPERATION GUIDELINES
• When used for the first time, the fireplace may emit a slight
odor for about 16 to 24 hours. This is normal and is due to the
“curing” of the logs and the “burn-in” of internal paint and lu-
bricant used in the manufacturing process.
• Keep compartments, logs, burners and area surrounding logs
clean by vacuuming and brushing at least twice a year or as
necessary.
• Turn off gas and remote switch before servicing appliance. Any
safety screen or guard removed for servicing the fireplace must
be replaced prior to operation.
• Have a qualified agency periodically inspect vent system at the
start of each heating season for any obstruction which will hinder
its normal operation. Never obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Keep the front of the fireplace clear of all ob-
stacles and materials

exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing prop-
erty damage, personal injury or loss of life.
A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand.

your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

department.
C. Use only your hand to push in control knob. Never use tools.
If the knob will not push in or slide by hand, don’t try to
repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or at-
tempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the appliance and to replace any part of the control system
and any gas control which has been under water.
