Although your gas logs are very realistic in
appearance it is not a real wood-burning fireplace
and must be used for burning rejected material.
To avoid irreparable damage to the appliance or
personal injury; matches, paper, garbage or any other
material must not be placed or thrown on top of the
logs or into the flames.
To avoid personal injury, do not touch hot sur-
faces when the appliance is operating.
Touch only the piezo button and control knob. Avoid
contact with the front screen, canopy or any other part
which will be very hot.
Always ensure that the fireplace screen is in place
when the appliance is operating.
Close supervision is necessary when the appli-
ance is being operated near children.
Do not use to cook food.
If this is the ONLY gas appliance, we recommend a
minimum 200 pound cylinder with a fill gauge. Use of
a 100 pound cylinder is not recommended. Other
household gas appliances may require the tank size
to be larger. Do not operate the vent-free heater if the
fuel level in the propane tank is below 1/4 full.
Important Safeguards
WARNING: The logs in this fireplace are manu-
factured from bonded ceramic fiber. This is a
commonly used material in the industry world-
wide. In the event of the logs and base being
removed, care should be taken not to damage
the bonded material.
Intentional misuse of, or deliberately fragment-
ing, the material could lead to inhaling fibers and
be dangerous to health.
Insure the logs are properly postioned at all
times.
This appliance is intended to be used only for supple-
mental heat. Do not use it routinely as a primary heat
source. Continuous operation could produce exces-
sive humidity depending on construction characteris-
tics and outdoor temperatures (below 200
°
F) Over
time, this could cause condensation to form and
damage wall structures and exterior paint. Do not use
this product during building construction. Dust,
debris, paint fumes etc. can cause burner damage
and/or produce strong odors.
Flame Check
A periodic visual check of the flames should be made.
The pilot flame should always be present when the
appliance is in operation. (Fig. 29)
In normal operation (at full rate for approximately 15
minutes) the following flame appearance should be
observed:
Front Blue Flame Burner: The flame should burn
blue with absolute minimal to no yellow flames visible.
Height of flame should be approximately 3” on high.
Rear Yellow Flame Burner: The flame should be
yellow in color and should extend 6 to 8 inches above
the large front logs.
Typical flame shape as seen in Figure 30.

NOTE: For your safety, the appliance is equipped with
an oxygen depletion system. The system senses the
oxygen in the atmosphere and switches off the gas
supply in case the level of oxygen falls below a safe
level. It must not be altered in any way.
