MAINTENANCE

TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER

BEFORE SERVICING THE FIREPLACE.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic- ing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This heater should be inspected and serviced before use and at least an- nually by a qualifi ed service person. The fi replace 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 obstructed.

1.In order to properly clean the burner and oxygen deple- tion sensor system, remove the logs to expose both as- semblies.

2.Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacuum- ing 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 fl ame is large enough to engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and promptly ignites the main burner.

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 light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your Continental® dealer / distributor.

OXYGEN DEPLETION SENSOR PILOT

CLEANING

This procedure must be performed by a qualified

service person!

Inspect the pilot for any visible contamination or debris (usually lint, pet hair, spider webs, carpet fi bre, etc.) and remove.

Disconnect the pilot from the pilot tubing line. Using a 7/16” wrench, remove the injector from the pilot housing. Blow out the housing in the same direction as the gas fl ow.

Re-install the injector and the pilot tube, turn on the gas and check for leaks.

If this does not improve the performance, replace the pilot with an exact replacement. The device is tamper resistant with no fi eld serviceable parts.

VENTURI ADJUSTMENT

Air shutter adjustment must only be done by a quali-

fied gas installer!

Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow fl ame, but can lead to carboning.

WARNING: Carbon can be distributed in surrounding living area if the air shutter is improperly adjusted.

Opening the air shutter will cause a more blue fl ame, but can cause fl ame lifting from the burner ports. The fl ame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the fi nal fl ame colour to be established.

Opening the air shutter will also reduce exhaust odours smelled within the room. See Trouble Shooting Guide.

CVF36N, CVF36P specifications

The Continental CVF36P and CVF36N are innovative air-cooled engines known for their reliability, performance, and versatility, making them popular choices in various aviation applications. These models are designed to deliver enhanced power, efficiency, and durability, meeting the demands of both recreational and commercial pilots.

One of the standout features of the CVF36P and CVF36N is their robust power output. These engines are designed to produce approximately 36 horsepower, enabling aircraft to achieve impressive climb rates and cruise speeds. The engines incorporate advanced engineering principles that ensure optimal performance, contributing to a smooth and responsive flying experience.

In terms of technology, the CVF36 series utilizes a four-cylinder, horizontally opposed configuration. This design not only helps in reducing vibration but also contributes to a lower center of gravity, enhancing aircraft stability during flight. The engines are equipped with a dual ignition system, ensuring reliability and redundancy that are critical in aviation. This dual ignition setup helps in maintaining engine operation even if one of the spark plugs fails, thereby enhancing safety.

The CVF36P variant is recognized for its premium performance in various operating conditions. It features a precision-engineered crankshaft and an efficient cooling system that prevents overheating. As a result, this engine is suitable for a wide range of applications, from light sport aircraft to experimental models.

On the other hand, the CVF36N variant focuses on delivering superior fuel efficiency. It is designed with advanced aerodynamics and engine management systems that optimize fuel consumption without compromising power output. This characteristic makes the CVF36N particularly appealing to budget-conscious pilots looking for long-range flying capabilities.

Both engines come with a range of customizable options, allowing builders and aircraft manufacturers to tailor them according to specific needs. This flexibility, combined with a strong support network and comprehensive service options, ensures that owners can maintain peak performance throughout the life of the engine.

Overall, the Continental CVF36P and CVF36N engines represent a significant advancement in aviation technology, offering a blend of power, efficiency, and reliability. As pilots continue to seek engines that meet stringent performance and safety standards, these models stand out as exemplary choices in the growing market of light aircraft engines.
