CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off ﬁreplace and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners, and circulating air passages 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.

CAUTION: Do not vacumm if pieces are hot.

Use only the tempered glass door replacement intended for this ﬁreplace (see Replacement Parts, page 26 for detail on ordering). No substitutions may be made. See Removing/Replacing Glass Door, on page 14 for instructions for replaceing glass door.

WARNING: Do not block required air openings around glass or louver panels. Ventilated compart- ments should be inspected and vacummed at least once a year to prevent blockage prior to operation.

GLASS DOOR

WARNING: Handle glass door panel with care. Do not strike, slam, or otherwise abuse glass. Do not operate ﬁreplace with the glass door removed, cracked, or broken.

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners as this may damage glass. Use a nonabrasive household glass 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, non- abrasive 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 circumstances present.RefertoRemoving/ReplacingGlassDoor,onpage14ofthis manual when removing glass door for cleaning.

WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manufac- turer should be used when replacing broken or dam- aged glass door panel (see Replacement Parts, page 26). This glass door panel is a complete unit. No substitute materials may be used.

CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety glasses while handling 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/Replaceing Glass Door, page 14). Vacuum all glass pieces with a shop vac.

PILOT AND BURNERS

•Remove ember material before cleaning burners and replace

•Burner and controls should be cleaned with compressed air to remove dust. dirt, or lint.

•Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled brush to remove excess dust, dirt, or lint.

LOGS

•If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Installing Logs and Glowing Embers, page 15, 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 26.

•Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replace- ment Parts on page 26.

VENTING SYSTEM

Conduct annual inspection of the venting system following these guidlines:

1.Check areas of venting system that are exposed to the weather 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 ito vent. Re- move 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.Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section or ﬁtting has been distributed and loosened. Check mechanical supports such as wall straps for rigidity.
