INSTALLING THE GRATE
AND LOGS
1.
Place the grate over the burner pan. The
grate should “lock” into place over the
corners of the pan (see Figure 8).
2.
Place one of the bottom logs on the
grate and slide forward against the front
grate bars. Repeat for other side (see
Figure 9).
5.
Place the smaller top logs onto the bot-
tom logs (see Figure 10). Leave as
much open space between logs as pos-
sible to minimize flame impingement
and sooting.
Note:
Logs may chip if
they are handled roughly or if hit to-
gether while being placed.
LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
APPLIANCE
FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE
LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not fol-
low these instructions exactly, a
fire or explosion may result caus-
ing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around
the appliance area for gas. Be sure to
smell next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the
floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do
not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the

call the fire department.
GAS SHUTOFF
VALVE OPERATION
Flame Adjustment
Adjust the flame ON/OFF by turning the
gas shutoff valve counterclockwise
to open or clockwise
to
close, as necessary.
Shutting Off Appliance
Turn gas shutoff valve clockwise
to the OFF position.
During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in
period, you may detect an odor from the
appliance as the various paints and com-
pounds used in the manufacturing of this
log set cure. This is a normal and tempo-
rary situation that is not cause for alarm.
However, you may want to provide extra
ventilation to the room during this time.
To ensure proper curing of the logs:
• Ignite a 2" flame and maintain it for 1
hour.
• Burn the logs in consecutive 1 hour pe-
riods raising the flame an additional
2" to full flame height for a total of
three hours.
CURING LOGS
1.
STOP! Read the safety information,
above.
2.
Turn the gas shutoff valve to OFF.
3.
Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any
gas. If you then smell gas STOP! Fol-
low the safety information above. If
you don‘t smell gas, go on to the next
step.
4.
Light a match and lay it on top of
the pan material about 2" from the
end of the supply side of the pan
5.
Slowly turn the gas shutoff valve ON
until the burner ignites. If the burner
doesn’t ignite within 10 seconds with
the match burning, turn the shutoff
valve OFF and repeat steps 1 through
4 again.
WARNING: Keep flue open
when operating unit.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
• Keep the area around the log set clean
and clear of debris.
• Occasionally, you may use a soft bristle
brush to clean logs.
• Once every year a qualified agency or
certified chimney sweep should exam-
