If vent configuration is installed incorrectly, flames will lift or "ghost". This can be danger- ous. Inspect flames after installation to ensure

Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING: Turn off fireplace and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners and circulating air passageways of fireplace clean. Inspect these areas of fireplace before each use. Have fireplace inspected yearly by a qualified service person. Fireplace may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.

GLASS DOOR

WARNING: Handle glass door panel with care. Do not strike, slam or otherwise abuse glass. Do not operate fireplace with the glass door unlatched, removed, cracked or broken.

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners as this may damage glass. Use a nonabra- sive household glass cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean glass when hot.

Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-up it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. During initial start-up a slight film may form on the glass due to paint curing. The glass should be cleaned several times with a non-ammonia, nonabrasive household cleaner and warm water after the first two weeks of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two or three times during each heating season, depending on the usage and circumstances present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 25 of this manual when removing glass door for cleaning.

WARNING: Only parts supplied bythemanufacturershould be used when replacing broken or damaged glass door panel (see Replacement Parts, page 37). This glass door panel is a complete unit. No substitute materials may be used.
