For safe installation and operation

Never use your gas fireplace as a cooking device.

Periodically remove the logs from the grate assembly and vacuum any
loose particles from the grate and burner areas.

parts and replace logs.
Note: It is normal for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the
first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any
undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your gas fireplace for at least four (4)
hours the first time you use it without the fan on.
Warning:
When purging the gas line, the glass front must be
removed.
Do not alter gas orifice.
