Maintenance

Burner and Burner Compartment

It is important to keep the burner and the burner compartment clean. At least once per year the logs should be removed and the burner compartment vacuumed and wiped out. Remove and replace the logs as per the instructions in this manual.

Always handle the logs with care as they are fragile and may also be hot if the fireplace has been in use.

Cleaning

There are three methods of cleaning the polished stain- less steel of your outdoor fireplace;

1.Warm, soapy water - to loosen any dirt film

2.Glass cleaner with ammonia

3.Stainless steel cleaner available at hardware stores

Regardless of which method is used, remember that anything with too much abrasive may dull the finish.

Cleaning the Standing Pilot

Control System

The burner and control system consists of:

main burner

gas orifice

pilot burner

thermopile

combination millivolt gas valve

Most of these components may require only an occa- sional checkup and cleaning and some may require ad- justment. If repair is necessary, it should be performed by a qualified technician.

In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, turn off the gas to the unit, remove logs exposing the burner and pilot assembly. Clean all foreign materials from the top of the burner. Check to make sure that burner parts are clean. Visually inspect pilot. Brush or blow away any dust or lint accumulation If pilot orifice is plugged, disassembly may be required to remove any foreign material from the orifice or tubing.

To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the pilot and burner's flame characteristics are steady, not lifting or floating.

Typically, the top 3/8" or 1/2" of the thermopile should be engulfed in the pilot flame. (Fig. 16)

To adjust pilot burner, turn pilot screw marked "pilot" for proper flame size.

The air shutter is set at factory no adjustment should be necessary.
