Check pilot ﬂame pattern and burner ﬂame patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper ﬂame. Altera- tions may have occurred during shipping and handling. The pilot is located on the left hand side of the burner.

The ﬂame must envelope 1/4" of top of the ignitor/sensor and grounding stem.

If your pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:

•Turn the adjustment screw marked PILOT clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase the ﬂame to proper size (see Figure 48, page 24). Do not remove the adjustment screw.

•see Troubleshooting, page 27

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off ﬁreplace and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners and circulating air passageways of ﬁreplace clean. Inspect these areas of ﬁreplace before each use. Have ﬁreplace inspected yearly by a qualiﬁed service person. Fireplace may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding mate- rial, pet hair, etc.

GLASS DOOR

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Burner ﬂames will be steady; not lifting or ﬂoating. Flame patterns will be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on instal- lation type and weather conditions.

If the vent conﬁguration is installed incorrectly, the ﬂames will lift or "ghost". This can be dangerous. Inspect the ﬂames after instal- lation to ensure proper installation and performance.

Figure 51 shows a typical ﬂame pattern.

If burner ﬂame pattern differs from that described:

•turn ﬁreplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 24)

•see Troubleshooting, page 27

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners as this maydamageglass.Useanonabrasivehouseholdglass cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean glass when hot.

Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-up it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. During initial start-up a slight ﬁlm may form on the glass due to paint curing. The glass should be cleaned several times with a non-ammonia, nonabrasive household cleaner and warm water after the ﬁrst two weeks of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two or three times during each heating season, depending on the usage and circum- stances present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass Door on page 20 of this manual when removing glass door for cleaning.

WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manu- facturer should be used when replacing broken or damaged glass door panel (see Replacement Parts, page 29). This glass door panel is a complete unit. No substitute materials may be used.

CAUTION:Wearglovesandsafetyglasseswhilehan- dling or removing broken glass. Do not remove if glass is hot. Keep children and pets away from glass.

If glass has been broken, carefully remove glass door (see Remov- ing/Replacing Glass Door, page 20). Vacuum all glass pieces with a shop vac.
