Before You Begin -- Attention!
A. The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material,
etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the appli-
ance be kept clean.
B. Your fireplace must include a chain mesh or similar screen. The screen must remain fully closed
while operating your log set. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing this appliance must be
replaced prior to operation.
C. If your fireplace includes glass doors, they must remain fully open to allow for combustion air during
operation, and to prevent overheating of the gas valve.
D. Your log set must be installed in a solid fuel burning fireplace constructed of noncombustible material
with a working flue.
E. Solid fuels shall not be burned in the fireplace where your gas log set is installed.
F. If this log set is to be used with propane gas, your propane supply tank MUST include a high to low
gas pressure regulator, and must be located outside. DO NOT place supply tanks inside any structure
.
G. Never use sand or other dense pan material with propane gas: use vermiculite only.
H. Be sure to apply pipe joint compound to all non-flared, threaded connections involved in this installa-
tion to avoid possible gas leaks. Compounds used in liquid propane applications must be resistant to
the action of that gas.
I. Always test for leaks using a soapy solution. NEVER USE OPEN FLAME.
J. The manufacture and shipping of your log set involves compounds which may cause detectable yet
harmless odors during initial operation. Provide extra ventilation to the room for the initial 2-3 hour
break-in period.
K. This gas log set may be installed in the approved fireplace in an aftermarket* manufactured (mobile)
home where not prohibited by state or local codes. *Aftermarket: Completion of sale, not for purpose
of resale, from the manufacturer.
L. The fireplace damper MUST be fully open when operating this log set.
