OPERATING
GUIDELINES AND
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
When lit for the first time, a vent free log
heater will emit a slight odor for a about
an hour or two. This is a normal
occurrence which is due to the “curing”
of the logs and the “burn in” of the
internal paints and lubricants used in the
manufacturing process.
Keep control compartments, logs,
burners and areas surrounding the logs
by vacuuming or brushing at least twice
a year. Temporay removal of the log set
may ease the cleaning of the burner and
pilot assembly. In cleaning, take care not
to alter the setting on the pilot assembly.
See the operating instructions supplied
with your vent-free log heater for
additional cleaning instructions.
IMPORTANT: Turn off the gas supply
at the external shutoff valve before
servicing appliance. Any safety screen or
guard removed for servicing must be
replaced prior to operating the appliance.
Installation and repair should be done by
a qualified person. The appliance should
be inspected before use and at least
annually checked 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.
For ligting and operation this vent-free
firebox, please refer to the vent-free gas
logs manufacturer’s instruction manual.
