B. Glass Doors
If your fireplace is equipped with glass doors:
• Glass doors should be in fully open position when
appliance is operating.
• Operating in the closed position will block the radiant
heat output and may cause incomplete combustion of
the gas and will cause the gas valve to overheat and be
damaged.
C. Important Safeguards

Fuels
-
Although your gas log set is very realistic in appearance,
it is not a real woodburning fire and must not be used
for burning any fuel other than natural or propane
gas.
- To avoid irreparable damage to the appliance and/or
personal injury, wood, matches, paper, garbage or any
other material must not be placed or thrown on top of
the logs.
