Installation and repair should be done by a
qualified 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, pet hair, etc. It is imperative
that the control compartments, burners and
circulating air passageways of the appliance
be kept clean.
WARNING: Children and
adults should be alerted to the
hazards of high surface tempera-
tures and to stay away to avoid
burns or clothing ignition. Young
children should be carefully
supervised when they are in the
same room as the appliance.
For lighting and operating this vent-free
firebox, please refer to the vent-free gas logs
manufacturer’s instruction manual.
OPERATING GUIDELINES AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
When lit for the first time, a vent-free log appli-
ance will emit a slight odor for about an hour
or two. This is a normal occurrence which is
due to the “curing” of the logs and the “burn-in”
of internal paints and lubricants used in the
manufacturing process.
Keep control compartments, logs, burners
and areas surrounding the logs clean by
vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
Temporary removal of the log set may ease
the cleaning of the burner and pilot assembly.
In cleaning, take care not to alter the settings
on the pilot assembly. See the operating
instructions supplied with your vent-free log
appliance for additional cleaning instructions.
WARNING: Logs can be very
hot! Allow logs to cool before
handling.
IMPORTANT:
Turn off the gas supply at the
external shutoff valve before servicing appli-
ance. Any safety screen or guard removed for
servicing must be replaced prior to operating
the appliance.
CAUTION: Do not clean hood
with abrasive cleanser. Use only
regular household cleaners and
a smooth cloth.
