• immediately call your gas supplier from 

a  neighbor’s  phone.  Follow  the  gas 
supplier’s instructions

• if  you  cannot  reach  your  gas  supplier, 

call the fire department

3.  Never install the log set

• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other 

flammable objects are less than 42" from 
the front, top, or sides of the log set

• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas

4.  Before installing in a solid fuel burning fire

-

place, the chimney flue and firebox must 
be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and 
loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner. 
Creosote will ignite if highly heated. Inspect 
chimney flue for damage.

5.  You must operate this log set with fireplace 

doors or screens in place and fully closed. 
Unless provided by other means, fireplace 
doors or screens shall have openings for

If logs ever appear to smoke, turn off appli

-

ance 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 

Cleaning and Maintenance

page 14.

8.  Do not allow fans to blow directly into the 

fireplace. Avoid any drafts that alter burner 

saFeTY

flame patterns. Ceiling fans can create drafts 
that  alter  burner  flame  patterns. Altered 
burner patterns can increase sooting. 

9.  Do not use a blower insert, heat exchang

-

er insert or other accessory not approved 
for use with this log set. 

10. The installation and provisions for combustion

-

stalling the log set. Do not use this log set to 
cook food or burn paper or other objects.

13. Log set becomes very hot when in use. Keep 

children and adults away from hot surface to 
avoid burns or clothing ignition. Log set will 
remain hot for a time after shut-down. Allow 
surface to cool before touching.

14. Carefully supervise young children when 

they are in the room with log set. 

15. Do not use this appliance if any part has 

been  under  water.  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.

16. To help prevent breakage, new logs must 

be broken-in (see 

Curing Logs,

 page 13).

17. Turn log set off and let cool before servic

-

ing, installing, or repairing. Only a qualified
