PROPANE (LP) GAS DANGERS AND WARNINGS

WARNING
LP gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of its characteristics before using any LP gas product. Failure to understand and follow these warnings or any directions and warnings provided by your LP gas supplier may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

DANGER
An LP gas tank should never be placed on its side. Doing so may cause liquid propane to leak. This could cause a fast buildup of LP gas and could lead to property damage, serious injury, or death.

LP Gas Characteristics

• • LP gas is flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air and settles in pools in low areas. Pooled gas may ignite causing a fire or explosion which could cause property damage, serious injury, or death.
  • In its natural state, LP gas has no odour. For your safety, a scent has been added.
  • Contact with LP gas could burn your skin.

LP Gas Tank Information

• LP gas tanks should be filled only by a certified LP gas dealer.
• Never use an LP gas tank with a damaged body, valve, collar or footing.
• Dented or rusted LP tanks may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP gas supplier.
• The LP gas supply tank must be constructed and marked by The Specifications for LP Gas Tanks of The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or The National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, LP Gas Tanks, Spheres and Tubes for
• The Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
• LP gas tanks must be arranged for vapour withdrawal.
• LP gas tanks must have a listed overfilling prevention device (OPD) and a QCCI or Type I (CGA810) LP gas tank connection.
• The LP gas tank must contain a shut-off valve as specified in The Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connection, ANSI/CGA-V-1-1977, CSA B96.

This fireplace has been tested and certified by a third-party certification agency based on its specific and unique parts. Installing any other parts will void both the certification and the warranty. For approved replacement parts contact Real Flame Customer Service at 1-800-654-1704.

General Care and Cleaning
After repeated use, a slight discolouration or weathering of the fireplace finish may occur. Your fireplace should be cleaned regularly to ensure safe use and extend its life.

• General Cleaning
  Make a cleaning solution using a mild soap mixed with water. Use a soft cloth to wipe down exterior surfaces and rinse with clean water. Never use oven cleaners or abrasive solvents as these will damage the fireplace.

• Burner
  The burner should be kept clean to ensure proper operation. Clogged burner ports may be cleared with a paper clip or pin. Debris in the burner tube can be cleaned using compressed air or a pipe-cleaning brush.

• Soot
  After use soot can develop on some surfaces. This soot deposit will usually come off with water and mild soap.

• Sealing
  To maintain the fireplace finish it is recommended to reseal the table surface with a water-based sealer, annually. Resealing will restore the beauty of the finish and further protect the fireplace.

Storage

1. Turn the LP gas supply off at the tank. Remove the LP gas tank and store it in a cool, dry location, outside and away from children.
2. Secure all loose filler material or parts.
3. Cover the fireplace when not in use and do not allow water to pool on the cover surface. Covering the fireplace will help to protect the internal components from dirt and debris and prevent the finish from fading.
4. Store the fireplace in a cool, dry location away from children and pets.

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING

Spiders or other insects may build webs or nests in your fireplace burner tube which can obstruct or block the flow of gas. Some of the gas may back up in the burner tube and cause a flashback (a fire in the burner tube or underneath the fireplace), which could result in property damage, serious injury, or death. Check and clean the burner tube periodically using a pipe cleaning brush (shown below) and compressed air available at any hardware store.

TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

If the Fireplace Will Not Ignite or Stay Lit
Make sure the gas tank is fully open by twisting the knob counterclockwise and that the connection between the hose and the tank is correct. Verify that the key valve is not stripped out and that the valve is opening and closing. Make sure the hose does not have any kinks or sharp bends.

Other Common Problems

• Clogged or Obstructed Burner
  It is common for bugs, especially spiders, to make webs or nests inside of burner tubes. If it seems like you are getting low or no gas flow, visually check all openings in the burner for signs of clogs. If you see anything clogging the burner using a pipe cleaner or compressed air to remove the debris.
  Out of Gas
  Be sure your LP gas tank is not empty. Low tanks can result in lower flames.

• Cold Temperatures
  Cold temperatures outside may result in lower LP gas tank pressures causing the flames to be lower. Do not use your fireplace in extreme temperature conditions. Allow the temperature of your LP gas tank to rise and as the pressure in the LP gas tank increases the flame size will increase. NEVER heat your LP gas tank; allow it to warm up naturally.

• High Winds
  Your fireplace is designed to operate in winds up to 10 mph (16.09 kph). High winds may cause the flame to blow out. Do not operate your fireplace in high wind conditions.

If you continue to have problems with your fireplace please contact Real Flame Customer Service at 1-800-654-1704.
