PLEASE NOTE
It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off 
some expansion and/or contraction noise during the start 
up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your 
furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
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 
(6) hours the first time you use it. If optional fan kit has been 
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.
  Cleaning Procedure
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.
•  Check Vent System
  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.
Glass Cleaning (Optional Kits)
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.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass. Do not 
attempt to clean glass when glass is hot.
