IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

During manufacturing, fabrication, and shipping, various com-

ponents of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films, or 

bonding agents. These chemicals ARE NOT harmful, but may 

produce annoying smoke and smells, as they are burned off, 

during the initial operation of the appliance. This may possibly 

cause headaches, and eye or lung irritation. This is a normal 

and temporary occurrence. The initial break-in period should 

last three to four hours. During this period, provide maximum 

ventilation by opening a window or door, to allow odors to dis-

sipate. Any odor remaining after this initial break-in period, will 

be slight and will disappear with continued use.

NEVER PLACE ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL WITHIN 

TWENTY-FOUR (24) INCHES FROM THE FRONT OF THE 

FIREPLACE ENCLOSURE.

 

WARNING

Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. 

Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the 

appliance and replace any part of the control system and any 

gas control that has been under water.

All units with gas control valves must be lit by a Safety Pilot. For 

standard units, the pilot is located at the right, rear, center of the 

unit.

Follow these instructions exactly when lighting the appliance. 

BEFORE LIGHTING, smell around the appliance area for gas. Be 

sure to smell next to the floor, as L.P. gas is heavier than air and 

will settle to the floor. Use only your hand to rotate the gas control 

knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try 

to repair it; call a qualified service technician or installer. Force or 

attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

 

WARNING

All gas burning appliances produce smoke and carbon mon

-

oxide gas during operation. These fumes can be harmful if the 

appliance is used in any other than a fully vented fireplace.

 

WARNING

The State of Massachusetts requires that the chimney flue 

damper, when used with decorative gas log sets, be welded 

open or completely removed. In the Commonwealth of Mas

-

sachusetts, this appliance must be installed by a licensed 

plumber or gas fitter.

 

WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or main-

tenance, can cause property damage, personal injury or loss 

of life. Refer to the owner’s information manual, provided with 

this appliance. Installation and service must be performed by a 

qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

GAS WARNING ODOR

If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas 

because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas. 

That’s your signal to go into immediate action!

• 

Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone. 

Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.

• 

Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do 

that IMMEDIATELY.

• 

Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.

• 

LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such as 

basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak, keep 

out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until firefighters 

declare them to be safe.

• 

Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained LP-Gas service 

person  and  the  fire  department.  Even  though  you  may  not 

continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not 

re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.

 Finally,

 let the service man and firefighters check for escaped 

gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly 

trained  LP-Gas  service  people  should  repair  the  leak,  then 

check and relight the gas appliance for you.
