INSTALLATION AND OPERATION GUIDE FOR

              HARGROVE RADIANT GLOW 

                        MODEL:  AKXRG5/8CPCNG

NOTE!

A qualified installer, service agent, or the gas supplier must perform installation and 

service.

ADEQUATE FIREPLACE VENTILATION IS REQUIRED FOR SAFETY.
READ INSTRUCTIONS FULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING.
INSTALLER:  LEAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL WITH THE CONSUMER!

Hargrove Manufacturing Corporation uses refractory concrete to create the ceramic logs.  Each log is 
hand finished to assure the most realistic, detailed logs available.  The gas burner system is designed 
to simulate wood burning, with a yellow smoky flame.  For this reason the gas log set must be burned 
only in a fully vented, non-combustible fireplace with the damper open and the chimney free of any 
obstruction or restrictions.  The fireplace must be designed and approved to burn wood.
The realistic yellow flame produces soot and carbon monoxide.  Under proper conditions the bi-
products will exhaust up the chimney.  If fumes or soot are evident in the room when the damper is 
fully open; it indicates that the fireplace draft is defective.  Do not operate your gas log set until the 
fireplace draft is corrected.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

1.

Do not try to light any appliance.

2.

Do not touch any electrical switch.

3.

Do not use any phone in your
building.

4.

Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor’s phone.  Follow the 
gas supplier’s instructions.

5.

supplier, call the fire department.

WARNING:  If the information in this
manual is not followed exactly, a fire or 
explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

It is the homeowner’s responsibility to
assure their fireplace has an adequate
draft.

RECOMMENDED BURN-IN PERIOD

Hargrove gas logs are made of refractory
materials, which withstand high temperatures.
One characteristic of this material is moisture 
retention.  For this reason, we recommend
burning the log set for only fifteen minutes
during the first burning.  After allowing the logs 
to cool for at least one hour, the set can be
burned for any length of time.

WARRANTY

Hargrove gas logs carry a limited lifetime
warranty against breakage in the original
fireplace.  This warranty does not include
labor.  This warranty is void if excessive
handling after using the set causes breakage.
All accessories and metal parts carry a two-
year limited warranty in the original fireplace.
Hargrove will replace items during this period 
for the cost of shipping.
