INSTALLER: LEAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL WITH THE CONSUMER!
Hargrove Manufacturing Corporation uses refractory concrete to create the ceramic logs. Each log is
hand finished to assure the most realistic, detailed logs available. The gas burner system is designed
to simulate wood burning, with a yellow smoky flame. For this reason the gas log set must be burned
only in a vented, non-combustible fireplace with the damper open and the chimney free of any
obstruction or restrictions. The fireplace must be designed and approved to burn wood.
The realistic yellow flame produces soot and carbon monoxide. Under proper conditions the bi-
products will exhaust up the chimney. If fumes or soot are evident in the room when the damper is
open; it indicates that the fireplace draft is defective. Do not operate your gas log set until the
fireplace draft is corrected.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.

manual is not followed exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
It is the homeowner’s responsibility to
assure their fireplace has an adequate
draft.
RECOMMENDED BURN-IN PERIOD
Hargrove gas logs are made of refractory
materials, which withstand high temperatures.
One characteristic of this material is moisture
retention. For this reason, we recommend
burning the log set for only fifteen minutes
during the first burning. After allowing the logs
to cool for at least one hour, the set can be
burned for any length of time.
WARRANTY
Hargrove gas logs carry a limited lifetime
warranty against breakage in the original
fireplace. This warranty does not include
labor. This warranty is void if excessive
handling after using the set causes breakage.
All accessories and metal parts carry a two-
year limited warranty in the original fireplace.
Hargrove will replace items during this period
for the cost of shipping.
