WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS BEING USED WITH THE OPTIONAL TRIPOD, IT MUST BE SITUATED ON A
NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE, NOR CAN IT BE LOCATED BELOW A COMBUSTIBLE OVERHANG.
The log set and the burner assembly are shipped together.
Remove the gas log set and burner assembly and check for damage. DO NOT install damaged components.
The logs are fragile use care when handling.
Place the appliance on a level/secure surface in desired location. This location must be adjacent to the gas
supply line or cylinder.
NOTE: Minimum clearances to combustible construction must be maintained, see "SPECIFICATIONS"
section.
You must have clear and easy access to the on/off valve AFTER the appliance is installed and connected to
the gas supply in order to safely turn off the burner.
THE ON/OFF GAS VALVE IS USED TO TURN THE BURNER ON AND OFF.
Connect the incoming gas supply line to the on/off gas valve of the appliance. Make certain ALL gas connec-
tions are tight, turn the on/off valve at the unit slowly to the on position and use soap water to test for leaks.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
