OPERATING FIREPLACE

FOR YOUR SAFETY

READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions

exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing prop-

erty damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand.

When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area

for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas

is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in

your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s

phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob.

Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by

hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified service techni-

cian or gas supplier. Force or attempted repair may result

in a fire or explosion.

D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.

Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect

the appliance and to replace any part of the control system

and any gas control which has been under water.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off fireplace and let cool before

cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burn-

ers, and circulating air passageways of fireplace

clean. Inspect these areas of fireplace before each

use. Have fireplace inspected yearly by a qualified

service person. Fireplace may need more frequent

cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bed-

ding material, pet hair, etc.

WARNING: Handle glass door panels with care. Do

not strike, slam or otherwise abuse glass doors. Do not

operate appliance with panel(s) and glass removed,

cracked, or broken. Replacement of the panel(s) should

be done by a licensed, qualified service person.

GLASS DOOR PANELS

Any household glass cleaner may be used to clean the glass panel.

Do not use abrasive cleaners as this may damage the glass. Clean

glass only when cool.

WARNING: Do not operate fireplace with the glass

doors removed, cracked, or broken.

CAUTION: Do not vacuum if pieces are hot.

CAUTION: If the glass breaks, be cautious of frag-

ments on the floor. Keep children away from the area.

Do not operate the unit. Use proper safety gloves to

remove the broken glass door. Discard safely. A glass

door kit can be ordered through your local distributor.

Do not substitute other material for the glass.

PILOT AND BURNERS

• Remove ember material before cleaning burners and replace

when cleaning is complete.

• Burner and controls should be cleaned with compressed air to

remove dust, dirt, or lint.

• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled brush to remove

excess dust, dirt, or lint.

LOGS

• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Installing Log Set, be-

ginning on page 18, to properly replace logs.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any carbon build-up on logs.

• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement Parts on page 23.

• Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replace-

ment Parts on page 23.

VENTING SYSTEM

Conduct annual inspection of the venting system following these

guidelines:

1. Check areas of venting system that are exposed to the weather for

corrosion (rust spots or streaks and, in extreme cases, holes). Have

these items replaced immediately by a qualified service person.

2. Remove the vent cap and shine a flashlight into the vent. Re-

move any foreign material.

3. Check for evidence of excessive condensation. Continuous con-

densation can cause corrosion of caps, pipes, and fittings and can

be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows, or

exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.

4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section or fitting has been

disturbed and loosened. Check mechanical supports such as

wall straps for rigidity.
