When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a
slight odor for an hour or two. This is due to paint
and lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
The main burner flame characteristics are steady,
not lifting or floating. Typically, the top 3/4 inch of
the pilot generator should be engulfed in the pilot
flame. A periodic check of these characteristics is
necessary.
CAUTION: THE LOGS CAN GET VERY HOT!
HANDLE ONLY WHEN COOL
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

If pilot orifice is plugged, disassembly may be required to remove any foreign material
from orifice or tubing.
Venting system should be periodically examined by a qualified service technician or
agency to ensure proper air flow.

OPERATING GUIDELINES (MILLIVOLT MODEL)
Upon completing the gas line connection,a small
amount of air will be in the lines. When first
lighting the pilot light, it will take a few minutes
for the lines to purge themselves of this air.
