Burn-in Period
During the fi rst few fi res of this appliance there
will be some odor due to the curing of the
paint and burning off of lubricants used in the
manufacturing process.
Depending on your use, the burn-in period may
take a few hours or a few days.
KEEP YOUR HOUSE WELL VENTILATED
DURING THE CURING PROCESS. THE ODOR
AND HAZE EMITTED DURING THE CURING
PROCESS CAN BE QUITE NOTICEABLE AND
MAY SET OFF A SMOKE DETECTOR.
If an optional blower is installed, Do not turn it
on during the Burn-In period.
A white fi lm may develop on the glass front
during the fi rst few fi res as part of the curing
process. The glass should be kept clean during
the fi rst two weeks of use to prevent the fi lm from
baking on (making it very diffi cult to remove).
See Cleaning Glass on Page 6.

logs can create carbon build-up and will alter
the performance of the appliance.
Replacing Logs -
WARNING
Turn off gas and electrical power
before servicing the appliance.
CAUTION
Wear gloves and safety Glasses
for protection while doing
required maintenance
.
IMPORTANT
Always verify proper operation
after servicing.
Inspect Venting System
The appliance and venting system should be
thoroughly inspected before initial use and at
least annually by a qualifi ed service technician
(inspection should include ensuring that exhaust
or intake passages are unobstructed and vent
components are properly assembled and not
damaged). If the venting system is disassembled
for any reason, a qualifi ed service technician
should follow vent installation instructions for
proper reassembly and proper sealing of the
venting system components. However, more
frequent periodic inspections and cleanings
should be performed by the homeowner.
Clean Lower Control Compartment
Keep lower control compartment clean by vacuuming or brushing it out at least twice a year (also
clean the air venturi with a brush or wire). More
frequent cleaning may be required due to accumulation of lint from carpeting, bedding materials, pet
hair, spider webs, etc. It is very important that
control compartments, burners, circulating air
passageways and air venturi on the appliance
are NOT obstructed in any way.
6
Note: Clean glass after fi rst two weeks of operation (after Burn-In period is over) and then only
when necessary and when the fi replace is cool.
Wipe surface with clean, dampened, soft cloth.
Follow with dry, soft towel as desired. Take care
not to scratch the glass surface.
The viewing glass should be cleaned periodically to
remove any build-up caused from the following:
IMPORTANT
Do not use abrasive cleaners
on glass. Never clean the glass
when it is hot.
• During start-up, it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass (this
condensation and fog will usually disappear
in a few minutes). The moisture can cause
lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling
to the glass surface.
• Initial curing of the high temperature paint
and burning off of lubricants used in the
manufacturing process may result in a fi lm
on the glass.
• A white coating may form on the glass as a
result of impurities and minerals in the fuel.
It is recommended that the glass be cleaned
two or three times during each heating season,
depending on the circumstances present. The
following cleaning solutions are approved for use
to clean glass:
• Non-ammonia based household cleaner
• 50%-50% mix of white vinegar & water
• Gas fi replace/stove glass cleaner
Inspect Glass Gasket - Visually inspect the
gasket on the backside of the glass enclosure
panels. The gasket surface must be clean, free
of irregularities and seated fi rmly.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
