During manufacture, this fireplace is treated with certain 

oils, films and bonding agents. These bonding agents are 

not harmful but may produce smoke and odors as they are 

burned off during initial operation of the fireplace. This is 

normal. Open a window during the initial bake out period. 

• 

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.

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. See page 9.

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.

• 

Do not substitute or use materials other than those supplied 

for use with the log set.
