Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property
damage.  Read these directions thoroughly before installation.  For assistance or additional infor-
mation, consult your gas log dealer, qualified installer, service agency or
gas supplier.

A properly sized, unobstructed chimney will normally vent all fumes and products of combustion.
Any odor or smoke detected in the room is an indication that the flue is not properly removing the
combustion products.  Turn off the gas supply valve immediately! The cause of the venting prob-
lem must be discovered and corrected before using this gas log set.  Disregarding this warning
can cause illness as well as soot damage to your fireplace, room, and furnishings.

Young children are not allowed to operate this unit and must be supervised when they are in the
same room as the appliance.

If not installed, operated, and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, this product could expose you to sub-
stances in fuel or fuel combustion which are
known to the state of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm.

Do not use this appliance or any part that has
been under water.  Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the appliance and
to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.

Fireplace damper MUST be locked fully open when operating the gas log set.

If the fireplace has glass doors, operate gas log set only with doors fully opened.  The fire-
place screen must be in place when the appliance is operating and, unless other provisions for
combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an opening(s) for introduction of
combustion air.

The log set and its individual shut-off valve MUST be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of gas supply at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.

The log set and its individual shut-off valve MUST be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig.

Keep the gas log set clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
