It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the 

first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and 

any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please  ensure  that  your  room  is  well  ventilated  -  open  all 

windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least six 

installed, place fan in the “OFF” position during this time.
IMPORTANT:  Turn  off  gas  before  servicing  appliance.  It  is 

recommended  that  a  qualified  service  person  perform  these  

check-ups at the beginning of each heating season.
•  Clean Burner and Control Compartment 

  Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding 

the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.

1.  Turn off pilot light at gas valve.

2.  Vacuum burner compartment.

3.  Ignite pilot (if applicable). (See Lighting Instructions)

4.  Operate the pilot burner (if applicable). If it appears abnormal 

call a service person.

  The appliance and venting system should be inspected before 

initial use and at least annually by a qualified service person. 

Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure 

that no debris is interfering with the air flow.

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up 

condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and 

causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass 

surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the 

glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two 

or three times with a non-abrasive household cleaner and warm 

water (we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). After that the 

glass should be cleaned two or three times during each heating 

season depending on the circumstances present.
General Glass Information
Only glass approved for use by the manufacturer may be used for 

replacement. The glass replacement should be done by a licensed 

or qualified service person.
WARNING:

1.  The use of substitute glass will void all product warranties.

2.  Care must be taken to avoid breakage of glass.

3.  Do not abuse the glass by striking or hitting the glass.
