LOG PLACEMENT
This instruction contains suggested log placement for the Iso-Flames log set. Some fl exibility is possible
in log placement to suit your individual preference provided excessive sooting does not result from fl ames
striking the logs too directly (see Important below). The suggested log placement will allow for superior fl ame
pattern, appearance, and adequate ventilation. Please read these instructions completely and carefully
before beginning.
Important: Although there is some fl exibility with the log placement, adequate spacing between the
logs is NECESSARY and MUST be maintained. Some carbon build up (sooting) may occur
where the fl ames strike the logs, and should not be a concern, unless excessive. If sooting
is excessive, rearrange the top logs to allow more opening(s) for the fl ame(s).
CAUTION: BURN HAZARD! Logs will remain hot for some time after use. If you need to reposition
any log to maintain the proper layout, use heat-resistant gloves or allow logs adequate time
to cool before handling.
Note: Highlighting added to improve clarity.

CLEANING AND SERVICING
Note: Regular cleaning and servicing will be necessary to ensure proper pilot operation and proper burn
characteristics.
Always shut off the gas to the appliance while performing service work.
Allow the appliance to cool before servicing.
Installation and repair must be done by an NFI Certifi ed or other qualifi ed professional service
technician. The gas log set should be inspected regularly to prevent burner shutdown, sooting, odors,
etc. This unit must be inspected and cleaned annually by a qualifi ed professional service technician.
It must be checked for clean burning operation and proper pilot appearance, with the correct tools to
service this unit. More frequent cleaning may be required. Excessive lint can build up on this unit from
carpeting, bedding material, pet hairs, or other particles in the air. It is critical that all control components,
burners, and air shutters be kept clean and free of all obstructions.
In addition, a periodic examination and cleaning of the solid-fuel-burning fi replace venting system should
be conducted by a qualifi ed professional service technician.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating this appliance.
TO CLEAN THE LOG SET
1. Remove the log set and embers. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove loose particles from all surfaces of
the log set. Do not use cleaning fl uids.
2. Dust the grate, the assembly, and the burners. Using a compressed air duster (commonly available at
computer, electronic, or offi ce supply stores); blow the burner ports and pilot assembly area.
3. Replace batteries as needed.
4. Reinstall the log set and embers as instructed in this manual.
If, after a period of use, the fl ames start to exhibit unusual shapes and behavior, or the burners fail to ignite
smoothly, the burner ports may require some cleaning. If this happens, it is preferable to contact the nearest
dealer to get the appliance serviced.
Do not remove the rating plates or the warning tags. These are an integral safety and identifi cation
component of this appliance.
We recommend following these instructions at the beginning of each fi replace season and as needed
throughout the year, depending on your usage pattern and the environmental conditions in your
home. More frequent cleaning and maintenance may be necessary when burning propane gas than
with natural gas.
FLAME DESCRIPTION
Observe the fl ames. The main burner fl ames should be blue at the base and a combination of blue/yellow
