OPERATION / MAINTENANCE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condi- tion caused by the curing of the logs and the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again.

After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. In both cases, open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.

Purge the gas line with the glass door removed. As- sure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before re-installing the door.

B. Before operating smell all around the fireplace area for gas and next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor

MAINTENANCE

Turn off the gas and electrical power before servicing the fireplace.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when serv- icing 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 va- pours and liquids. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.

1.In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, remove the logs to expose both assemblies.

2.Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacu- uming 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 burn- ing properly.

4.Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and reaches to- ward 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

10second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your Napoleon dealer / distributor.

7.Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of the door is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.
