If, after a period of use, the flames start to exhibit unusual shapes and behavior or the burner fails to ignite smoothly, then the burner holes may require some cleaning. If this happens, we recommend that you contact your nearest authorized service technician to get the appliance serviced.

Periodically inspect the air mixer and burner tube for foreign matter blocking the air inlet and flame holes.

Once every year a qualified agency or certified chimney sweep should examine and clean the venting system of the fireplace.
