Next, arrange the smaller logs on top of the foundation logs. These logs create the visual appeal of a traditional wood-burning fire. You can customize the arrangement to your liking, but avoid overcrowding the logs.

Once the logs are in place, double-check that they are secure and stable. Avoid any movement or shifting of the logs, as this could cause issues with the gas flow and the overall operation of your fireplace.

After installing the logs, make sure the gas valve is turned off. Test the logs for proper placement and stability before lighting them for the first time. Refer to your Allen + Roth gas log manual for detailed instructions on lighting and operating your logs safely and efficiently.

Regular maintenance is vital for optimal performance and a long lifespan for your Allen + Roth gas logs. This includes cleaning the burner pan and the logs themselves. Remove any accumulated debris or dust. Check the gas line and connections for any signs of damage or leaks. Ensure the gas valve operates smoothly.

Troubleshooting common issues can be handled with basic maintenance. If your logs are not lighting, check the gas supply, the pilot assembly, and the valve. If you notice a flickering flame or uneven burning, clean the burner pan and the logs; If you encounter more complex issues, consult your manual or contact a qualified technician for assistance.

Lighting the Logs

Lighting your Allen + Roth gas logs is a straightforward process. Before attempting to light the logs, ensure the gas valve is turned off. Locate the pilot assembly, typically mounted on the back of the burner pan. Take a long lighter or match and hold it near the pilot assembly. While pushing the knob in, ignite the pilot. Hold the knob in for about 60 seconds after the pilot lights. Release the knob slowly and if the pilot stays lit, turn the knob to the “on” position. The logs will now ignite.

It is important to familiarize yourself with the specific instructions provided in your Allen + Roth gas log manual, as the exact location and procedure for lighting the pilot may vary slightly.

It’s recommended to have your gas logs serviced annually by a professional.

Troubleshooting

While Allen + Roth gas logs are generally reliable, you may encounter occasional issues. If the logs fail to light, first check the gas supply valve to ensure it’s open. Next, examine the pilot light to confirm it’s burning properly. If the pilot light is out, follow the instructions in the manual to relight it.

If the logs are producing a yellow flame instead of a blue flame, this indicates incomplete combustion. Check for obstructions in the vent or air intake, as these can restrict airflow and lead to poor combustion. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician for assistance.

Ensure proper ventilation in the room where the gas logs are installed, as incomplete combustion can lead to carbon monoxide buildup.

Keep flammable materials away from the fireplace and never leave the logs unattended while burning. Use caution when adjusting the gas flow and never attempt to modify or repair the gas logs yourself unless you are a certified technician. Regularly inspect the gas lines and connections for any signs of damage or leaks. By adhering to these safety practices, you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of your Allen + Roth gas logs safely.
