GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Any guard or protective device removed for servicing
must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified tech-
nician. Appliances should be inspected prior to each use
and inspected at least once annually by a qualified gas
appliance service professional.
Ensure gas and power (if applicable) are shut off and
fire pit is cool before servicing.
Keep fire feature covered at all times when not in use.
Keep any debris out of appliance — clean as needed. If
debris is found, remove before lighting system.
WARNING:
Fire feature should be inspected by user
prior to each use and inspected at least
once annually by a qualified gas appliance
service professional.
ever handling gas log.
Once your approved media has been installed, place
your FireStorm
TM
Steel Gas Log over the burner so that
the burner is centered underneath it. Your steel log has
a “lighting opening” at each end to aid in lighting the
burner. (See Figure 1 below). Orient the steel log so that
one end of the log is near the key valve. Press down upon
the log to seat the log in the media to create a level and
stable foundation. Adjust media as necessary.
Adjust your media so that the tip of the jet nearest the end
of the log to be used for lighting is exposed. Use this jet
for lighting the burner pursuant to Steps 6 and 7 below.
LIGHTING AND TURNING OFF YOUR MATCH LIT
FIRESTORM STEEL GAS LOG SYSTEM
These instructions supplement the Lighting Instructions
within your Owner’s Manual related to Turning On Your
Match Lit System. Light your FireStorm Steel Gas Log
using a “lighting opening” to access your burner as de-
scribed below.
TURNING ON YOUR MATCH LIT SYSTEM
1. STOP! Read all the safety information.
2. Any cover must be removed prior to operation of
burner or appliance and must remain off during
operation. Danger: Fire or Explosion Hazard. If you
smell gas, shut off gas to the appliance, extin-
guish any open flame. If odor continues, leave the
area immediately. After leaving the area, call your
gas supplier or fire department. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in fire or explosion,
which could cause property damage, personal
injury or death.
3. Confirm that your main Natural Gas or Liquid Pro-
pane supply to the appliance is open. Do not open
your key valve or gas control at this time.
4. Before lighting, visually inspect fire feature and re-
move any accumulated leaves or other combustible
debris.
5. Locate key valve or gas control valve controlling gas
supply to your appliance.
6. Locate the jet tip nearest the “lighting opening”
described above that can be easily accessed while
operating key valve or gas control without reaching
across other jets or the burner. Reorient burner if
necessary to allow such access.
7. Place a long reach lighter through the “lighting
opening” of the gas log slightly above or on the tip of
the jet located in Step 6 above. (See Figure 1). Do not
use a match or cigarette lighter.
8. While holding the flame on or slightly above the jet
tip as described in Step 7 above, slowly turn the key
valve or gas control knob slightly to the left to allow
a minimal flow of gas to the burner and light the
selected jet. While attempting to light jet, do not sub-
stantially increase gas supply. Excessive flow of gas
before jet is lit can cause pooling of gas and result in
sudden flare up. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in fire or explosion, which could cause
property damage, personal injury or death.
9. Once the selected jet (or other jets) is lit, continue to
keep any body parts from above the pit or burner and
slowly turn the key valve or gas control knob further to
the left to increase the flow of gas to the burner. The
other jets of the burner should ignite.
10. If the flame will not stay lit after several attempts, turn
the key valve or gas control to the off position and call
your local technician or gas supplier for service prior
to re-attempting to operate your appliance.
11. Once lit, use the key valve or gas control to adjust the
flame to the desired height.
TURNING OFF YOUR MATCH LIT BURNER
1. Use key to turn valve to OFF position by turning the
valve to the right.
2. Verify flame is OUT.
3. If using LP bottle/tank, turn bottle/tank to CLOSED
position.
4. Allow to cool completely, then cover the fire feature
with waterproof/weatherproof cover.
APPEARANCE
Your steel log should patina over time by forming a layer
of rust or oxidation. The coloring may change and the log
will look more natural. Each log develops a unique patina
pattern based upon use and weather conditions. Heat will
also create distinctive color changes to your log’s surface.
CLEANING STEEL LOG
Soot may build up along the openings in the log or on its
surface in general. Annual cleaning is recommended. How-
ever, if soot restricts or reduces normal flame performance,
clean openings immediately. Prior to any cleaning or han-
dling, wait for log to cool completely and then remove
the log from the system. Soot is then easily removed by
spraying the log with water or by lightly brushing with a
plastic brush. Do not allow water or soot to fall into burner
system.
