 Please leave these instructions with the owner for future 

reference.
For Installation In Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces. Do not burn wood 

or solid fuels in a fireplace where a decorative gas log set is installed. 

This appliance is for installation only in a solid fuel burning fireplace, 

masonry fireplace or manufactured fireplace.

WARNING

Any modification to this gas log set or to controls can be 

dangerous. Improper installation or use of the gas log set 

can cause serious injury or death from fire, burns, explo

-

sion or carbon monoxide poisoning. 

1.  Please follow all local codes regarding installation, combustion 

and ventilation air or in the absence of local codes follow the 

National  Fuel  Gas  Code  ANSI  Z223.1(U.S.  installation),  or 

CAN/CGA-B149, Installation Code (Canada installation) and 

with ANSI Z21.60 Decorative Vented Appliances for Solid Fuel 

Burning Fireplaces.

2.  Proper installation, burner pan location and log placement is 

important to achieve optimum look and performance of your 

gas log set. The logs have been designed for easy location 

and placement on the grate and must be followed for proper 

operation.

3.  Do not operate this log set with glass doors in the closed posi-

tion. A fireplace screen must be in place when the log set is 

burning. Adequate combustion air must be provided for proper 

venting. All flames should go up and out the top of the firebox 

into the flue vent. If any flames float or curl forward into the 

room 

do not operate appliance. 

Check for an open flue and 

adequate combustion air into the room. A damper clamp must 

be installed on the firebox damper to maintain an open flue 

vent condition.

4.  Young children must be carefully supervised when they are in 

the same room as the gas log while in operation. Do not place 

stockings, clothing or any flammable material above or near 

the fireplace.

5.  Do not substitute or use materials other than those supplied 

for use with the log set.

out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

•  Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of 

high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid 

burns or clothing ignition.

are in the same room as the appliance.

•  Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed
