Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If
you have these signs, the log set may not be working properly. Get
fresh air at once! Have log set serviced. Some people are more
affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant
women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the
influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
Natural and Propane/LP Gas:
Natural and propane/LP gases are
odorless. An odor-making agent is added to the gas. The odor helps
you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to the gas can fade.
Gas may be present even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep this
manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper operation
of this log set.
WARNING: Any change to this log set or its
controls can be dangerous.

loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote will ig-
nite if highly heated. Inspect chimney flue for damage.

place doors or screens shall have openings for introduction of
combustion air.
6.
This log set is designed to be smokeless. If logs ever appear to
smoke, turn off appliance and call a qualified service person.
Note:
During initial operation, slight smoking could occur due
to log curing and the burning of manufacturing residues. You
may wish to add more ventilation by opening a window.
7.
To reduce the creation of soot, follow the instructions in Clean-
ing and Maintenance, page 12.
8.
Do not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Avoid
any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Ceiling fans can
