CAUTION: After installation
and periodically thereafter, check
to ensure that no flame comes in
contact with any log. With the
heater set to High, check to see if
flames contact any log. If so, re-
position logs according to the
log installation instructions in this
manual. Flames contacting logs
will create soot.
