MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Please Note

It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction noise during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.

It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.

Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all windows.

It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least six

(6)hours the first time you use it. If optional fan kit has been installed, place fan in the “OFF” position during this time.

IMPORTANT: Turn off gas before servicing appliance. It is recommended that a qualified service person perform these check- ups at the beginning of each heating season.

•Clean Burner and Control Compartment

Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.

Cleaning Procedure

1.Turn off pilot light at gas valve.

2.Remove glass front. (See Glass Removal)

3.Vacuum burner compartment.

4.Reinstall glass front.

5.Ignite pilot. (See Lighting Instructions)

6.Operate the pilot burner. If it appears abnormal call a service person.

•Check Vent System

The appliance and venting system should be inspected before initial use and at least annually by a qualified service person. Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure that no debris is interfering with the air flow.

Glass Cleaning

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three times with a non-abrasive household cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). After that the glass should be cleaned two or three times during each heating season depending on the circumstances present.
