GAS LOGS

INSTALLERS LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH CONSUMER!
Hargrove Manufacturing Corporation uses refractory material to create ceramic logs. Each log is
hand finished to assure the most realistic, detailed log available. The gas log burner system is
designed to burn like wood with a yellow smoky flame. For this reason the gas log set must be
burned only in a fully vented, non-combustible fireplace with the
damper completely open
and the
chimney free of any obstructions or restrictions. The fireplace must be designed and approved to
burn wood. The minimum permanent, free opening provided by the fireplace chimney must be 8” in
diameter (50 square inches)
The realistic yellow flame produces carbon monoxide and soot. Under normal conditions these
products are exhausted up the chimney. If fumes or soot from the gas burning are evidenced in the
room when the damper is fully open, it indicates that the fireplace draft is defective. Do not operate
your gas log set until the fireplace draft is corrected.
ADEQUATE VENTILATION IS REQUIRED.
IT IS THE HOMEOWNERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ASSURE
THEIR FIREPLACE HAS ADEQUATE DRAFT.
