Clean the Logs
WARNING
Do not handle the logs with your bare hands! Always wear
gloves to prevent skin irritation from ceramic bers. After
handling logs, wash your hands gently with soap and water
to remove any trace of bers. If you do get a “ber splinter”
from the logs or glowing embers, rub the sticky side of tape
over where you suspect the splinter is until you no longer
feel the irritation.

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF PROPANE GAS
Propane is a ammable gas which can cause res and
explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and
colorless. You may not know all the following safety
precautions which can protect both you and your
family from an accident. Read them carefully now, then
review them point by point with the members of your
household. Someday when there may not be a minute to
lose, everyone’s safety will depend on knowing exactly
what to do. If, after reading the following information,
you feel you still need more information, please contact
your gas supplier.
PROPANE GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the
gas because of the odorant put in the Propane Gas.
That’s your signal to go into immediate action!
