Maintenance

The following procedures will help ensure that your stove continues to perform safely and efficiently.

Firebox Cleaning and Inspection

Cleanliness is critical to correct operation of the heater. The log set, burner, valve controls and air circulation areas must all be kept free of dust and unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas before each use and clean whenever accumulation is evident. Follow the simple procedure outlined below.

Frequent cleaning may be necessary in living environments subject to excessive carpet lint or pet hair. For example, if you live with a dog that sheds continuously, you will need to inspect the burner area frequently and clean it as often as the accumulation requires. In extreme conditions, it may be necessary to clean the burner and log set monthly or bi-weekly.

This appliance should be inspected and thor- oughly cleaned annually by a qualified gas techni- cian.

Cleaning Procedure

1.Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool com- pletely before cleaning.

2.Remove the safety screen. (Fig. 30)

3.Carefully inspect the log set for damage. Contact your local dealer if any damage is evident. DO NOT

OPERATE THE HEATER WITH A DAMAGED LOG SET.

4.Use a soft-bristled brush vacuum attachment to sweep dust or debris from the log set, pilot and burner. Use care as the log set is fragile. Replace log set according to instructions on pages 11 - 12.

5.Replace the screen and Front Plate. DO NOT

OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE SAFETY SCREEN REMOVED.
