Maintenance

Dutchwest Natural Vent Gas Heater

Your Dutchwest Gas Heater will provide years of service with minimal upkeep. The following procedures will help ensure that your stove continues to function properly.

Annual System Inspection

Have the entire heater and venting system inspected annually by a qualified gas technician. Replace any worn or broken parts.

Logset and Burner /

Cleaning and Inspection

Cleanliness is critical to the proper function of the heater. The logset and burner must all be kept free of dust and unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas before each use and clean as necessary.

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

2.Lift the Stove Front up and then swing the bottom out to disengage it from the heater shell. (Fig. 36)

3.Carefully remove the glass and frame assembly and place it out of the way on a flat, padded surface such as a counter protected by a towel.

4.Carefully inspect the Logs for damage. Contact your local dealer if any damage is evident. DO NOT

OPERATE THE HEATER WITH DAMAGED LOGS.

5.Use a soft bristled brush to sweep dust or debris from the Logs, Pilot and Burner. Use care as the logs are fragile and susceptible to damage.

6.Replace the glass panel and frame assembly.

7.Replace the Stove Front.

Care of Cast Iron

An occasional dusting with a dry rag will help keep the painted surfaces looking new. Use high-temperature stove paints, available through your local dealer, to touch-up areas as needed. Clean areas to be painted with a wire brush and be sure to cover the logs, burner and valve assembly, glass and frame assembly. Apply the paint sparingly; two light coats of paint will give better results than a single heavy coat.

Clean porcelain enamel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If neces- sary, use only a cleaning agent formulated especially for use on porcelain enamel surfaces.

CAUTION

TURN THE PILOT OFF BEFORE PAINTING. ALLOW THE HEATER TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE PAINTING.

Cleaning the Glass

WARNING: Let the glass cool completely before attempting to clean.

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-ammonia house- hold 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.

Clean glass after first two weeks of operation.

Glass Replacement

Replace glass only with CFM Specialty Home Products approved parts. Refer to Page 22 for Replacement Parts. Refer to Figure 37 and previous instructions for removal of the damaged glass frame.

2468, 2467, 2468 specifications

CFM Corporation has established itself as a powerhouse in the aviation industry, particularly through the design and manufacture of high-performance aircraft engines. Among its standout products are the CFM 2468 and 2467 engines, which have garnered attention for their state-of-the-art features, innovative technologies, and impressive performance characteristics.

The CFM 2468 engine is known for its remarkable efficiency and reliability. One of its primary features is the advanced fuel efficiency technology that minimizes fuel consumption while maximizing thrust. This is largely attributed to the inclusion of next-generation composites in the engine's fan blades and cases, which contribute to a lighter overall weight without compromising durability. As a result, operators benefit from lower operating costs, making the 2468 engine a cost-effective choice for airlines.

On the other hand, the CFM 2467 engine has been engineered with a focus on reducing noise pollution and emissions. This engine incorporates cutting-edge noise-reducing technologies, including a redesigned inlet and an innovative exhaust system that reduces noise levels significantly during operation. This makes the 2467 an ideal solution for airports in urban areas where noise regulations are stringent. Furthermore, the engine's environmentally friendly design complies with the latest emissions standards, which is increasingly important in today's aviation market.

Both engines utilize advanced digital technologies, including the latest in engine health monitoring systems. These systems provide real-time data analytics to operators, allowing for predictive maintenance and minimizing downtime. This technological integration not only enhances operational efficiency but also helps in extending the lifespan of the engines.

In terms of operational characteristics, both the CFM 2468 and 2467 engines are built to perform under a wide range of conditions. Their robust design ensures they can withstand various environmental challenges, from extreme temperatures to high humidity. Additionally, their modular design simplifies maintenance procedures, allowing for quicker turnaround times.

In summary, the CFM Corporation 2468 and 2467 engines exemplify the company's commitment to innovation, efficiency, and sustainability. With their advanced technologies and impressive features, these engines are set to redefine performance standards in the aviation industry, making them a preferred choice for airlines globally.
