Leak Testing Procedure
Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the gas supply cylinder
has been disconnected or not. In addition, whenever the gas cylinder
is connected to the regulator or whenever any part of the gas system
is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your replace
outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never smoke or permit sources of
ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use a ame, such as
a lighted match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.
1. Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray
bottle one part liquid soap to one part water.
2. Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position.
3. Turn on the gas.
On natural gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the burner.
On propane systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counter clock-
wise one turn to open.
4. Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas
delivery system. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates
that a leak is present.
5. Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing the faulty
part with a replacement part recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged. The
cylinder must be replaced.
6. Turn the control knob back to the full OFF position.
If you are unable to stop a leak:
1. Turn the control knob back to the full OFF position.
2. Shut off the gas supply to the replace and release pressure in the
hose and manifold by turning the control valve one quarter turn
counter-clockwise.
3. On propane systems, remove the cylinder from the replace.
4. Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an liquid
propane gas dealer.
Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.

Periodically check the hose connecting the propane gas cylinder to
ensure it is not damaged in any way.
Carbon (soot) may build up on the surfaces of the logs with heavy use.
This is more likely to occur with propane gas. Clean soot off the surface
of the logs periodically to prevent excessive buildup.
To clean the logs, be sure the re is out, the gas supply is turned off
and the logs are cool to the touch. The soot can then be brushed of
with a dry bristle brush or cloth. Take care while cleaning the logs as
they can become damaged if mishandled.
Periodically check the hose connecting the propane gas cylinder to en-
sure it is not cracked or damaged in any way. All natural gas hook-ups
should be serviced and inspected only by qualied installers only.
The easiest way to clean the replace is to let the replace cool com-
pletely off. Spray the enclosure off with water. Note: Do NOT spray
water directly onto the burner.

pliances and are warranted to be free from defects in material and
workmanship at time of delivery.

comes valid at time of delivery and ends either by specied time-frame
listed above or upon owner transfer or relocation.
Warranty Performance

this warranty, contact either the selling dealer or a local contractor or
service technician. Depending on your needs, this may be a contractor
qualied to repair stone and tile or a service agent licensed to repair
gas or electrical appliances.
In the event the consumer is unable to obtain satisfactory customer
service from the selling dealer or service agent, written notication
must be given to the LMS Customer Service Department within 30 days
of the reported failure.
There will be no charge for parts on a covered item. Cost of labor is the

reasonable travel or mileage charge per service call. If LMS determines
that repair of a covered item is not feasible, LMS reserves the right to
replace the defective merchandise with merchandise equal in value to
the original purchase price. Warranty repair and / or replacement are
the sole discretion of LMS and this warranty does not cover costs there-
in, including but not limited to: freight, removal, re-installation, etc.
