MAINTENANCE
TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER
BEFORE SERVICING THE FIREPLACE.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when ser- vicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan- gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This fireplace and its venting system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be ob- structed.
1.In order to properly clean the burner and pilot as- sembly, remove the logs to expose both assemblies.
2.Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shut- ter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.
3.Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which may not be burning or are not burning properly.
4.Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and reaches toward the burner with the third jet.
5.Replace the cleaned logs.
6.Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all openings when the gas knob for the burner is turned on. A 5 to 10 second total
7.Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bot- tom of the door is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.

Air Shutter Openings
LP | 3/8" |
NG | 3/16" |
Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame, but can lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner ports. The flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be established.

AIR CONTROL ROD ACCESS
1.Remove the glass door.
2.Remove the logs.
3.Remove the air deflector / light housing (Pg. 19)
(It is not necessary to disconnect the wires. The assembly can lay along the right side of the firebox).
4.The air control rod can now be adjusted. Pushing the rod towards the back will open the air shutter (larger hole, larger opening), pulling the rod towards the front will close the shutter (smaller hole, smaller opening).
