TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE
TEMPORARY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE:
To turn off main burner only, depress the knob and turn it
clockwise as far as it will go. Do not force.
COMPLETE SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURE:
Turn off all electrical power in firebox. Turn gas control
knob clockwise to the “OFF” position.
* The heat output can be controlled by adjusting the
vent free burner control knob.
* Another way to regulate the heat output is to open
the fireplace damper.
If you want:
a. more heat radiated into the room – Keep the
damper completely closed
b. less heat radiated into the room – open the
fireplace damper to varying degrees.
1. To avoid personal injury, do not touch hot
surfaces when the appliance is operating. Touch
only the piezo ignitor and control knob.
Hot Surfaces
a. Grate
b. Burner
c. Logs
d. Surfaces above the opening of the
fireplace
2. Although your gas logs are very realistic in
appearance, it is not a real wood-burning fireplace
and must not be used for burning any material.
* To avoid irreparable damage to the appliance or
personal injury, matches, paper, garbage, or any
other material must not be placed or thrown on top of
the logs or into the flames.
Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is
being operated near children.
Avoid any drafts that alter burner patterns. Do not
allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Ceiling
fans may create drafts that alter burner flame
patterns. Sooting and improper burning will occur.
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a professional service
person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding, and material, etc.
It is imperative that control components, burners and
circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept
clean.
•
If the flames show any unusual shapes or
behavior, or the burners fail to ignite
properly, then the burner holes may require
cleaning.
WARNING:
TURN OFF VENT FREE BURNER
SYSTEM AND ALLOW TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING
OR SERVICING.
