PLACING LOGS AND LAVA ROCKS
Assemble ceramic logs by placing the large base log to
the rear of grate assembly
(Figure 18)
. Add front logs
with “burned through” features to front left and right.
Place lava rocks on center of burner. Stack top logs
vertically in center of log stack. Adjust as required to
provide realistic flame.
(Warning: If flames get trapped under logs the result
will be black soot on logs and front face of fireplace.
Take extra care to adjust logs to correct this
condition).
OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
When the appliance is being operated for the first time,
allow for a supervised burn of 30 minutes. Then shut the
appliance off and let it cool completely before relighting.
This allows proper curing time for the logs. (After several
hours the logs will discolor slightly, this is normal.)
MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that a competent serviceman perform
the following procedures at least annually;
WARNING
: Any change to this fireplace or its co-
mponents can be dangerous. Any safety screen or guard
removed from fireplace for servicing must be replaced
prior to operating the heater. At the beginning of each
heating season, have a qualified technician inspect the
burner and pilot burner area for dust or carbon build-up.
This may be removed from the burner or logs with a soft
bristle brush. A visual inspection of the pilot burner and
main burner flame should be performed to verify proper
operation, refer to operating instructions for proper
adjustment. Care should be taken when cleaning and
handling logs since they become brittle with use. Small
heat cracks in the logs do not affect the operation of the
log set.
Cleaning Stainless Steel
General cleaning may be accomplished by using a
household cleaning solution and warm water. The
exterior may be cleaned using the same method. Badly
soiled or tarnished areas can be clean using a “scotch
brite” pad. Always scrub in same direction of material
finish.
Do not use caustic cleaners on fireplace as it may cause
damage to control and electric components.
