7. Cover the
burner and
after placing a
liberal amount
of fiber
`embers' over
the burner
surface
sprinkle any
remaining
granules over
the ember bed
(Figure 6).
8. (optional) If desired, you may paint the supply line,
connector, and fittings with a heat resistant flat black
stove paint in order to hide those components from
view and create a better looking installation.
9. Position grate so that the center of the grate is directly
over the back edge of the burner pan. Position the
smaller base log to the rear and the longer base log to
the front of the grate allowing maximum space between
them (Figure 7). Top logs can be arranged in any order
as long as they are as far apart from each other as
possible to achieve minimal flame interference.
The gas log must be operated with a fireplace screen
in place. The screen must have sufficient holes to
allow for combustion air.
IF THE FIREPLACE IS EQUIPPED WITH GLASS
DOORS, THE DOORS MUST BE FULLY OPEN WHEN
OPERATING THE LOG SET.
NOTE: SIERRA RADIANT GAS LOGS REQUIRE A
BREAK-IN PERIOD. BURN THE LOG SET FOR ABOUT
30 MINUTES, THEN LET IT COOL COMPLETELY
BEFORE RELIGHTING.
CAUTION : LOGS GET VERY HOT AND SHOULD BE
HANDLED ONLY WHEN COOL TO AVOID INJURY
OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
When the appliance is being operated for the first time,
allow for a supervised burn of 30 minutes. Then shut the
appliance off and let it cool completely before relighting.
This allows the ceramic logs to cure properly.
MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that a competent serviceman perform
the following procedures at least annually;
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR
AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS,
GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND
LIQUIDS.
At the beginning of each heating season, have a qualified
technician inspect the venting/flue system and termination
for any obstructions and also proper draw. The burner
and pilot burner area should also be checked for dust or
carbon build-up. This may be removed from burner or
logs with a soft bristle brush. A visual inspection of the
pilot burner and main burner flame should be performed
to verify proper operation, refer to figure 5 for proper
adjustment. Care should be taken when cleaning and
handling logs since they become brittle with use. Small
heat cracks in the logs do not affect the operation of the
log set.
