GENERAL VENT
MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting system
1)Check the Venting System for corrosion in areas that are exposed to the elements. These will appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme cases, holes. These compo- nents should be replaced immediately.
2)Remove the Termination Cap, and shine a flashlight down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreign material.
3)Check for evidences of excessive conden- sation, such as water droplets forming in the inner liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints, Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fittings. It may be caused by having exces- sive lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior portions of the system being ex- posed to cold weather.
4)Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or fittings have been disturbed, and conse- quently loosened. Also check mechanical supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.
LOG REPLACEMENT
The unit should never be used with broken logs. Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool before opening door to carefully remove the logs. The pilot light generates enough heat to burn someone. If for any reason a log should need replacement, you must use the proper replacement log. The position of these logs must be as shown in the diagram under Log Installation.
NOTE: Improper positioning of logs may create carbon
