OPERATING APPLIANCE
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.
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.
During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in period, you may detect
an odor from the appliance as the various paints and com-
pounds 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.
