logs

•If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Install- ing Logs, Lava Rock and Glowing Embers, page 30, to properly replace logs.

•Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any carbon buildup on logs.

•Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement Parts on page 44.

•Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replacement Parts on page 44.

venting system

Conduct annual inspection of the venting system following these guidelines:

1.Check areas of venting system that are exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust spots or streaks and, in extreme cases, holes). Have these items replaced immediately by a qualified service person.

2.Remove the vent cap and shine a flashlight into the vent. Remove any foreign material.

3.Check for evidence of excessive condensation. Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipes and fittings and can be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows or exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.

4.Inspectjointstoverifythatnopipesectionorfitting has been disturbed and loosened. Check mechani- cal supports such as wall straps for rigidity.
