Main Burner Flame Pattern

The main burner flame will be completely yellow. 

Main Burner Flame Ignition and Extinction

When the main burner is ignited it will take a few seconds for the 

full flame pattern to develop.

When the main burner is extinguished it will take a few seconds for 

the flames to disappear. It is normal to have the flames burn down 

near the rock wool,  as the remaining gas is burned.

PILOT AND MAIN BURNER FLAME CHARACTERISTICS

Keep the control compartment, logs and burner area surrounding 

the logs clean.

THE LOGS CAN GET VERY HOT— HANDLE ONLY WHEN COOL.

Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible 

materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the 

front of the appliance clear of all obstacles and materials.

Inspecting Venting System

A  vented  fireplace  venting  system  is  designed  and  constructed 

to develop a positive flow adequate to remove flue gases to the 

outside atmosphere.

Any foreign objects in the venting system, may cause spillage of 

the flue gases into the room. 

Periodic examination and/or cleaning of the venting system of the 

solid-fuel  burning  fireplace  must  be  done  by  a  qualified  service 

person. Visually inspect the damper and flue area for excessive 

soot build-up. This soot (carbon) may be removed by brushing with 

a soft bristle brush. 

CLEANING AND SERVICING

OPERATION

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.

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 

monoxide gas during operation. These fumes can be harm

-

ful if the appliance is used in any other than a fully vented 

fireplace.

WARNING

A fireplace screen must be in place when this appliance is 

in operation. Unless other provisions for combustion air are 

provided, the screen shall have an opening(s) for introduc-

tion of combustion air.

WARNING

When this decorative gas appliance is used in a fireplace 

equipped  with  a  combustion  air  kit  and  glass  doors,  the 

glass doors should remain open during log set operation. 

This  will  maximize  the  radiant  heat  provided  to  the  sur

-

rounding area, and minimize overheating of any valve in

-

stallation. The glass doors may be closed when the log set 

is not in use.
