MAINTENANCE

TURN OFF THE GAS AND UNPLUG ELECTRI-

CAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE

STOVE!

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when ser- vicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan- gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This insert and its venting system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service per- son. The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of com- bustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.

1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assem- bly, remove the logs exposing both assemblies.

2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shut- ter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.

3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which may not be burning or are not burning properly.

4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to engulf the thermocouple on one leg and reaches toward the burner on the other leg.

5. Replace the cleaned logs.

6. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all openings when the gas knob for the burner is turned on. A 5-10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your Continental dealer/dis- tributor.

7.Check that the door gasketing is not broken or miss- ing. Replace if necessary.

8.Lift the door from its hinges to clean hinge pins and lubricate using high-temp dry graphite as necessary. Re- place.

NOTE: Due to the high temperatures that the hinges expe- rience, wet lubricants such as oil and WD40 will cause the hinge to seize and are therefore not suitable.
