1. The appliance should be inspected before initial use and
inspected and cleaned at least annually by a qualifi ed fi eld
service person.
2. Tampering is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties. Any
component that is found to be faulty, must be replaced with
an approved component.
3. To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the burner
fl ame characteristics are steady, not lifting or fl oating. Check
the burner fl ame patterns with the fi gure below.
4. Periodically remove the logs and examine the burner. If
dirty, clean with a soft brush. Also examine the area around
the burner air shutter. Any dirt or foreign material, such as
spider webs or nests, in this area should be removed. This
will ensure long life and trouble free operation. When the ap-
pliance is put back in service, check the burner fl ame patterns
with the fi gure above. Reinstall the logs as shown in the log
placement instructions.
5. Periodically check the hose connecting the LP gas cylinder
to ensure it is not damaged in any way.
NOTE: Carbon (soot) may build up on the surface of the logs
with heavy use. This is more likely to occur when using LP
gas. The soot should be cleaned off the surface of the logs
periodically to prevent excessive build up. To clean the logs,
be sure the fi re is out, the gas supply is turned off and the logs
are cool to the touch. The soot can then be brushed off with
a dry bristle brush or cloth. Take care while cleaning the logs
as they can become damaged if mishandled. Care should be
taken to dispose of the soot and cleaning materials properly.
Keep away from clothing and outdoor furniture.
This listed gas appliance is tested and approved for elevations
from 0 to 4500 feet in Canada and the U.S.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500
feet (in the U.S.), it may be necessary to decrease the input
rating by changing the existing burner orifi ce to a smaller
size. Input should be reduced four percent (4%) for each
1,000 feet beyond the 4,500 feet above sea level, unless the
heating value of the gas has been reduced, in which case
this general rule will not apply. To identify the proper orifi ce
size, check with the local gas utility.
When installing this unit at an elevation above 4,500 feet (in
Canada), check with local authorities.
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the
proper orifi ce for your location.
