Maintaining Your Heater's Appearance

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

Yearly Service Procedure

•Failure to inspect and maintain the heater 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 heater by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on page 28). Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Remove the face (see the instructions included with the face) and glass (see page 21).

3.Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 23). 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 heater 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. 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, ducts, and the area around the blower.

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.
