NOTICE:

 It is normal for steel appliances to 

make expansion/ contraction noises as they heat 

up or cool down. Similar noises are found with 

your furnace or car engine. 

It is normal for your gas fireplace to give off some 

odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the 

curing of the paint and any oil from the manufac-

turing process. If odor becomes offensive, open 

windows. 

Burn the fireplace for at least six hours the first 

time you use it. 

NOTICE: 

Turn off the gas before servicing 

appliance. 

Have a qualified service person perform the 

following (inspections) at the beginning of each 

heating season: 

•  Check Vent System

Inspect the fireplace and venting system 

before initial use and at least annually. 

Inspect the external vent cap on a regular 

basis to make sure no debris is interferes 

with the air flow.

•  Clean Burner and Control Compartment

Keep the control compartment, logs, and 

burner areas surrounding the logs clean 

by vacuuming or brushing at least twice 

a year. 

•  Cleaning Procedure

1.  Turn off pilot flame using your remote. 

Allow the fireplace to cool completely.

2.  Remove outer and inner glass. 

3.  Remove all logs and coals. Place them in a 

safe location.

4.  Vacuum burner compartment.

5.  Replace glowing embers, logs, and coals.

6.  Re-install inner and outer glass.

7.  Ignite pilot.  

8.  Operate the pilot burner. If it appears 

abnormal contact your dealer for service.

Clean the glass periodically. We recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner. 

Contact your dealer in regards to servicing of the fireplace.

During start-up, condensation forms on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust and other airborne 

particles to cling to the glass. Also initial paint curing may deposit a film on the glass. Allow the 

fireplace to cool and then clean the glass two or three times with gas fireplace glass cleaner or a 

non-abrasive household cleaner and warm water. After that, clean the glass two or three times 

during each heating season or more often if necessary.
