Gas Fireplace Insert

Maintenance

Burner and Burner Compartment

It is important to keep the burner and the burner compartment clean. At least once per year the logs and lava rock/ember material should be removed and the burner compartment vacuumed and wiped out. Remove and replace the logs as per the instructions in this manual.

Always handle the logs with care as they are fragile and may also be hot if the fireplace has been in use.

Fan Assembly

The fan unit requires periodic cleaning. At least once per month in the operating season, open the lower louvre panels and wipe or vacuum the area around the

fan to remove any build up of dust or lint.

Cleaning the Standing Pilot

Control System

The burner and control system consists of:

• main burner

• pilot burner

• gas orifice

• thermopile

• combination millivolt gas valve

Most of these components may require only an occa- sional checkup and cleaning and some may require ad- justment. If repair is necessary, it should be performed by a qualified technician.

In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, turn off the gas to the unit, remove the window frame panel and logs exposing the burner and pilot assembly. Clean all foreign materials from the top of the burner. Check to make sure that burner parts are clean. Visu- ally inspect pilot. Brush or blow away any dust or lint ac- cumulation. If pilot orifice is plugged, disassembly may be required to remove any foreign material from the orifice or tubing.

To obtain proper operation, it is imperative the pilot and burner's flame characteristics are steady, not lifting or floating.

Typically, the top 1/8" of the thermopile should be en- gulfed in the pilot flame. (Page 13, Fig. 25)

Brass Cleaning

Clean the brass trim with a soft clean cloth, slightly dampened with lemon oil and buff with a soft dry cloth. Do not use brass polish or household cleaners as these products will damage the trim. Lemon oil can be ob- tained at supermarkets or hardware stores.

A132, A125 specifications

CFM Corporation, a renowned leader in the aviation industry, has made significant strides with its advanced jet engines, particularly the CFM56 series, which includes models like the A132 and A125. These engines are propelling the next generation of commercial aviation with their focus on fuel efficiency, reliability, and reduced emissions.

The CFM A132 and A125 engines are specifically designed for narrow-body aircraft, making them ideal for short to medium-haul flights. One of the standout features of the A132 is its exceptional thrust performance, providing operators with a thrust range that ensures versatility in various flight conditions. The A125, while slightly lower in thrust output, boasts impressive fuel efficiency, contributing to lower operational costs for airlines.

Both models utilize advanced materials and manufacturing techniques that enhance durability and performance. CFM incorporates innovative ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) and advanced alloys in their designs. These materials offer increased resistance to high temperatures and reduce overall weight, resulting in improved engine performance and longevity.

A key technology present in both A132 and A125 engines is the 3D-printed components, which enable intricate designs that were previously impossible or too costly to produce. This innovative manufacturing method not only simplifies production but also reduces waste and enhances the engines' overall performance.

Noise reduction technologies are also a priority, as the aviation industry increasingly focuses on minimizing its environmental impact. Both models feature advanced acoustic liners and the latest in fan blade design, significantly decreasing noise levels during operation. This is particularly beneficial for airlines operating flights in and out of urban areas where noise restrictions may apply.

Moreover, CFM's engines are renowned for their reliability, with maintenance intervals designed to extend engine life and reduce downtime. The A132 and A125 benefit from CFM's extensive experience and proactive approach to service, ensuring operators have access to support throughout the engine's lifecycle.

In summary, CFM Corporation's A132 and A125 engines represent a blend of advanced engineering, innovative technologies, and customer-centric design. With their powerful performance, fuel efficiency, and commitment to environmental sustainability, these engines are set to continue shaping the future of aviation. Airlines that invest in these models gain not only superior operational capabilities but also the promise of reliability and cost-effectiveness in an increasingly competitive market.
