INSTALLATION

Qualified Installation Agency
This set should only be installed by a qualified installation agency.

Proper Log Placement
Log placement is critical to proper burner performance. Logs must be correctly positioned into the burner. The illustrations in this manual show the proper position for logs on this set. Owners need to be shown proper log placement and instructed not to move the logs. Logs must fit firmly onto the burner when positioned as shown in the illustrations. Malformed logs or broken logs must be replaced.

Proper Log Set Operation
Properly installed and properly maintained log sets do not deposit soot on the logs. If users see soot appear on a log, call for service. Do not continue to operate the log set.

Wood Burning Fireplaces
The interior of the firebox and the chimney should be cleaned and free of all creosote before installing a gas burning log set. Creosote will soften when heated and can drop on the log set causing odors and possibly sooting.

CURING LOGS

During the 2-3 hour appliance curing period, you may detect an odor from the appliance as the various paints and compounds used in the manufacturing of this log set cure. This is a normal and temporary situation that is not cause for alarm. However, you may want to provide extra ventilation to the room during this time.

To ensure proper curing of the logs:

• Ignite a 2″ flame and maintain it for 1 hour.
• Burn the logs in consecutive 1 hour periods raising the flame an additional 2″ to full flame height for a total of three hours.
