Before you begin: Do not handle the logs with your bare hands!
Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation. After handling logs,
wash your hands gently with soap and water.
All Logs
The positioning of the logs is critical to the safe and clean opera-
tion of this heater. Sooting and other problems may result if the
logs are not properly and firmly positioned in the appliance.
Instructions for placement of the logs in the fireplace are includ-
ed with the logset. Logset approved for use in the DVP36(S,P)P
fireplaces include model LSU24RR-2, and must be ordered sepa-
rately.
Flames from the pilot (rear right back side of the pan burner) as
well as the main flame should be visually checked as the log set
is installed.
In normal operation at full rate after 10 to 15 minutes, the flame
appearance should be sets of yellow flames. Natural gas burners
will tend to have blue flames with yellow flame tips.
nOte:
All flames will be random by design, flame height will go
up and down.
Glowing embers (rockwool) can cover the pan burner in areas
as shown in Figure 63, but very little is necessary to cover these
areas. Excess ember material causes the yellow flame to become
orange and stringy. Apply just enough to obtain slow glow and a
gold or yellow flame.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components
of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films or bonding agents.
These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke
and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the
appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This
is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should be 5 to 10 minutes on (at the
highest setting) then let cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat this On/
Off cycle two to three times to cure sealants. Provide additional
ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate.
Any odors remaining after this initial break-in will be slight and will
disappear with continued use.
