Be sure to check these items before the initial lighting of
the insert:
- All packaging materials are removed from the firebox;
brick panels and logs are installed.
- The insert gas label must correspond to the gas supply
available, that is “natural gas” for natural gas; "LP gas"
for LP gas.
- Be sure the gas pressure has been carefully checked (see
Gas Pressure Requirements).
- Fingerprints or other marks are cleaned (while the insert
is cool) from any gold or nickel surfaces with denatured
alcohol and a soft cloth. Marks left on these surfaces
may become etched into the finish if not removed prior
to burning the unit.
- Check all gas fittings for leaks.
- Remove all combustible materials from the area in front
of the insert and ensure the vented areas of the insert face
are unobstructed.
- Check to ensure all clearances to combustibles are met-
see page 7.
- Make sure the glass door is in place and properly sealed
before burning the appliance
- Ventilate the house to clear initial paint curing odors, see
page 15.

tions found with each insert:

your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas
supplier's instructions. If you cannot reach your gas supplier,
call the fire department.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control
knob. Never use any tool. If the knob will not push in or
turn by hand, don't try to repair it, call a qualified service
technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire
