the final installation is complete.
The log set was installed on the grate
and the grate permanently fixed to the
fireplace at the factory.
Carefully remove the packaging from
around the log set. Make sure the wires
from the log set are connected securely
to the grate box.
CAUTION: The Realogs®contain
LEDs to create a unique pulse
and glow e󰀨ect. Handle the log set
carefully. They are fragile and can
crack or break if dropped.
