Logs

Frequency: Annually

By: Qualified Service Technician

Tools needed: Protective gloves.

•Inspect for damaged or missing logs. Replace as necessary. Refer to Section 14.I. for log placement instructions.

•Verify correct log placement and no flame impingement causing sooting. Correct as necessary.

Firebox

Frequency: Annually

By: Qualified Service Technician

Tools needed: Protective gloves, sandpaper, steel wool, cloths, mineral spirits, primer and touch-up paint.

•Inspect for paint condition, warped surfaces, corrosion or perforation. Sand and repaint as necessary.

Control Compartment and Firebox Top

Frequency: Annually

By: Qualified Service Technician

Tools needed: Protective gloves, vacuum cleaner, dust cloths

•Vacuum and wipe out dust, cobwebs, debris or pet hair. Use caution when cleaning these areas. Screw tips that have penetrated the sheet metal are sharp and should be avoided.

Burner Ignition and Operation

Frequency: Annually

By: Qualified Service Technician

Tools needed: Protective gloves, vacuum cleaner, whisk broom, flashlight, voltmeter, indexed drill bit set, and a manom- eter.

•Verify burner is properly secured and aligned with pilot or igniter.

•Clean off burner top, inspect for plugged ports, corrosion or deterioration. Replace burner if necessary.

•Replace ember materials with new dime-size pieces. DO NOT block ports or obstruct lighting paths. Refer to Section 14 for proper ember placement.

•Verify batteries have been removed from battery back- up IPI systems to prevent premature battery failure or leaking.

•Check for smooth lighting and ignition carryover to all ports. Verify that there is no ignition delay.

•Inspect for lifting or other flame problems.

•Verify air shutter setting is correct. See Section 14.K. for required air shutter setting. Verify air shutter is clear of dust and debris.

•Inspect orifice for soot, dirt and corrosion. Verify orifice size is correct. See Service Parts List for proper orifice sizing.

•Verify manifold and inlet pressures. Adjust regulator as required.

•Inspect pilot flame pattern and strength. See Figure 3.1 and 3.2 for proper pilot flame pattern. Clean or replace orifice spud as necessary.

•Inspect thermocouple/thermopile or IPI flame sensing rod for soot, corrosion and deterioration. Clean with emery cloth or replace as required.

•Verify thermocouple/thermopile millivolt output. Replace pilot as necessary. (Standing pilot only)

•Verify that there is not a short in flame sense circuit by checking continuity between pilot hood and flame sense rod. Replace pilot as necessary. (IPI only)
