Care and Maintenance
Before servicing, turn off the appliance and let it cool.
WARNING
Keep the control areas, burner, and circulating air passageways of the appliance clean.
Carefully inspect these areas before each use. Have the appliance inspected yearly by a
qualified service person. Depending on your environment, the appliance may need more frequent cleaning
as a result of excessive lint from carpeting, pet hair, or other contaminants.
CAUTION
Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting
and property damage.
WARNING
This appliance requires curing the first time it is operated. Complete the following
instructions for curing to avoid cracking the logs with continued use.
CAUTION
When the appliance is first operated, it goes through a 3-hour “curing period.” During this time, the appliance
may emit an odor. This odor is temporary and indicates that the various compounds and paints used in the
appliance are curing. This is normal and expected. However, you may wish to provide the room with extra
ventilation during this period to help combat the odor.
Perform the following to properly cure the logs:
1. Ignite a 2" flame. Maintain the flame for one (1) hour.
2. Let the logs cool down for 30 minutes.
3. Ignite the appliance again but with the flame 2" higher than the last time. Maintain the flame for one (1) hour.
4. Repeat steps 2–3 until the flame reaches its maximum height, burning for a total of three (3) hours.
Do not burn solid fuels in the fireplace when the appliance is operating.
