This fireplace must be installed and serviced by your dealer or 

a qualified service technician. Other than cleaning the glass 

and replacing the light bulbs, there are no user-serviceable 

components.

 

Keep the area around the fireplace clean and free of debris.  This 

fireplace requires an unimpeded flow of air to circulate warm air. Do 

not place objects on or around the fireplace that may restrict air flow.  

 

Keep the area around the fireplace free of combustible materials – 

including drapery, upholstered furniture, paper, boxes, and clothing.  

Never hang stockings or cards above the fireplace.  

 

Never operate the fireplace with the glass front removed or 

damaged.  Any part removed for cleaning or servicing must be 

replaced prior to operating the fireplace. 

 

The fireplace gets hot during operation and may remain hot for an 

hour after use.  When operated by thermostat, the fireplace will 

turn on and off automatically.  

• 

This fireplace may become hot enough to burn skin and ignite clothing 

after prolonged contact. To prevent injury, alert people in your home – 

especially children – to the hazards of high surface temperatures and 

warn them to stay away from the fireplace. 

• 

Supervise children whenever the fireplace is hot. Young children 

and others may be susceptible to accidental contract burns. Have 

your dealer install a physical barrier if there are at-risk individuals 

in your home. To restrict access to a fireplace or stove, install an 

adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young children, and other 

at-risk individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces. 

• 

The vent cap, located on the outside of your home, will also become 

very hot. Alert everyone, adults and children, to stay clear and avoid 

touching the vent cap. Keep the area around the vent cap clear of 

combustibles, including shrubs and trees.  

 

Do not use this fireplace if any part has been underwater. Have a 

qualified technician inspect the fireplace and replace any part that 

has been underwater. In the event of a natural disaster (tornado, 

earthquake, fire, etc.) have a qualified technician inspect the 

fireplace for damage or potential gas leaks. Repair or replace any 

damaged components before operating this fireplace.

 

Never burn solid fuels such as wood, coal, paper or cardboard in 

this fireplace.

Annual Inspection

 

Have the fireplace inspected annually before use. 

• 

More frequent inspection and cleaning may be required if the 

fireplace is installed in an area exposed to pet hair or dust, or to 

excessive lint from new carpeting or bedding materials.  

During the Annual Checkup, the technician Will: 

• 

Inspect the pilot (flame safety system) and burner(s) for proper 

operation and replace any damaged parts. 

• 

Check the glass and gasket for proper seal. 

• 

Vacuum and clean any foreign debris in the firebox that is not 

supposed to be there.

•

cleaners must not be used. Be careful not to scratch the glass 

when cleaning.

• 

Check the barrier screen for fit and structural integrity. 

See Pages 

66 and 67.

• 

Check all latches or other door retention components for 

proper operation, tension, and relief mechanisms are free from 

obstructions. 

See Pages 66 and 67.

• 

Inspect the log set (if applicable) and decorative media (if 

applicable) for debris or damage.

• 

Freshen up the glowing embers if applicable.

• 

Replace batteries in the remote transmitter and receiver if 

applicable.

• 

Inspect the venting and vent termination cap for damage, 

corrosion, sooting, or obstruction and correct if present.

•
