IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Installer:

 Please leave these instructions with the owner for future 

reference.
For Installation In Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces. Do not burn wood 

or solid fuels in a fireplace where a decorative gas log set is installed. 

This appliance is for installation only in a solid fuel burning fireplace, 

masonry fireplace or manufactured fireplace.

WARNING

Any modification to this gas log set or to controls can be 

dangerous. Improper installation or use of the gas log set 

can cause serious injury or death from fire, burns, explosion 

or carbon monoxide poisoning.

1.  Please follow all local codes regarding installation, combustion 

and ventilation air or in the absence of local codes follow the 

National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1(U.S. installation), or 

CAN/CGA-B149, Installation Code (Canada installation) and 

with ANSI Z21.60 Decorative Vented Appliances for Solid Fuel 

Burning Fireplaces.

2.  Proper installation, burner pan location and log placement is 

important to achieve optimum look and performance of your 

gas log set. The logs have been designed for easy location 

and placement on the grate and must be followed for proper 

operation.

3.  Do not operate this log set with glass doors in the closed posi-

tion. A fireplace screen must be in place when the log set is 

burning. Adequate combustion air must be provided for proper 

venting. All flames should go up and out the top of the firebox 

into the flue vent. If any flames float or curl forward into the 

room 

do not operate appliance. 

Check for an open flue and 

adequate combustion air into the room. A damper clamp must 

be installed on the firebox damper to maintain an open flue 

vent condition.

4.  Young children must be carefully supervised when they are in 

the same room as the gas log while in operation. Do not place 

stockings, clothing or any flammable material above or near 

the fireplace.

5.  Do not substitute or use materials other than those supplied 

for use with the log set.

DO NOT OPERATE THIS GAS LOG SET WITH GLASS 

DOORS CLOSED.

 

Due to high temperatures the appliance should be located 

out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

•  Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of 

high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid 

burns or clothing ignition.

•  Young children should be carefully supervised when they 

are in the same room as the appliance.

•  Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed 

on or near the appliance.

•  Do not place trash or other articles on the log set during 

operation.

•  During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various 

components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, 

films or bonding agents. These bonding agents are not 

harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells as 

they are burned off during initial operation of the appliance. 

This is a normal temporary occurrence. A window should 

be opened during the initial bake out period. 

•  Keep burner and control compartment clean. 

WARNING

•  Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the 

chimney  flue  and  firebox  must  be  cleaned  of  soot, 

creosote, ashes and loose paint by a qualified chimney 

cleaner.

•  Do not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Avoid 

any drafts that alter burner flame patterns.

• 

Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other 

accessory not approved for use with this appliance.

• 

Installation and repair should be done by a QUALIFIED 

SERVICE  PERSON. 

The appliance should be inspected 

before  use  and  at  least  annually  by  a  qualified  service 

person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to 

excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materials, etc. It 

is imperative that control compartments, burners and 

circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.

•  DO NOT put anything around the fireplace that will obstruct 

the flow of ventilation air.

•  DO keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible 

material, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

• 

A yearly examination and cleaning of the venting system 

of the solid-fuel burning fireplace must be performed by 

a qualified agency.

•  DO  make  a  periodic  visual  check  of  pilot  and  burners. 

Clean and replace damaged parts.

•  DO NOT use this appliance if any part has been under water. 

Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect 

the appliance and to replace any part of the control system 

and any gas control which has been under water.
