OPERATION
OPERATION GUIDELINES
• When used for the first time, fireplace may
emit a slight odor for about 16 to 24 hours.
This is normal and is due to “curing” of logs
and “burn-in” of internal paint and lubricant
used in manufacturing process.
• Keep compartments, logs, burners and
area surrounding logs clean by vacuuming
and brushing at least twice a year or as
necessary.
• Turn off gas and remote switch before
servicing appliance. Any safety screen or
guard removed for servicing the fireplace
must be replaced prior to operation.
• Have a qualified agency periodically inspect
vent system at the start of each heating
season for any obstruction which will hinder
its normal operation. Never obstruct flow
of combustion and ventilation air. Keep
front of fireplace clear of all obstacles and
materials.
