Maintaining Your Fireplace's Appearance

Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional gold surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior to turning the fireplace on. Clean the gold with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth (with the fireplace cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the gold.

Yearly Service Procedure

Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.

1.Check the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and touch the top of the thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.

2.Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on page 36). Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see page 34) and glass (see page 28).

3.Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 30). If severely deteriorated, replace. Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting is found, the fireplace will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.

4.Clean the burner (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:

Make sure the burner is not warped, cracked, or damaged.

Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.

If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.

5.Replace the log set. Clean and replace the glass (use non-abrasive cleaner - if damaged, replace). Make sure the gasket along the perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight seal. If it does not, re-align or replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Replace the faceplate.

6.Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and the gas lines. If damage is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service. Clean the air channels and ducts.

7.Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top of the firebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service. Monitor the blower operation.

8.Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is found near the vent termination.
