Cleaning and
Maintenance
When lit for the first time, the appliance may emit a slight odor for about 16 to 24 hours. This is normal and is due to “curing” of logs and “burn in” of internal paints and lubricants used in manufacturing.
Keep compartments, logs, burners and area sur- rounding logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year. Temporary removal of log set may ease cleaning of burner and pilot assembly. In cleaning, take care not to alter pilot or burner location. Be sure appliance is cool before each maintenance session.
WARNING: Installation and repair should be done by a quali- fied service person. The appli- anceshouldbeinspectedbefore each use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding mate- rial, pet hair, etc. It is imperative that the control compartments, burners and circulating air sys- tem be kept clean.
