GENERAL VENT

MAINTENANCE

Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect as follows:

1)Check the Venting System for corrosion in areas that are exposed to the elements. These will appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme cases, holes. These components should be replaced immediately.

2)Remove the Termination Cap, and shine a ﬂ ashlight down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreign material.

3)Check for evidences of excessive condensation,suchaswaterdropletsforming in the inner liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints, Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and ﬁ ttings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.

4)Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or ﬁ ttings have been disturbed, and consequently loosened. Also check mechanical supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.

LOG REPLACEMENT

The unit should never be used with broken logs. Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool before opening door to carefully remove the logs. The pilot light generates enough heat to burn someone. If for any reason a log should need replacement, you must use the proper replacement log. The position of these logs must be as shown in the diagram under Log Installation.

NOTE: Improper positioning of logs may create carbon build-up and will alter the unit’s performance which is not covered under warranty.

GOLD-PLATED TRIM

The 24 carat gold plated ﬁ nish on the trim requires little maintenance, and need only be cleanedwithadampcloth.DONOTuseabrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as they may harm the ﬁ nish and void the warranty. Clean any ﬁngerprints off before turning the unit on. If the top louvers start to discolour, check the door gasket seal and replace if necessary.
