Cleaning and Maintenance / Main Burner Warning: Turn off heater and let cool before cleaning

After use, cleaning of the main burner may be required for the proper flame. The main burner may be cleaned by applying air pressure to the ports on the main burner.

Cleaning the Log Set and Firebox

During the annual inspection and maintenance appointment, the service person should clean dust, lint, and any light accumulation from the logs and the firebox area. An extra-soft brush should be used on the logs as they are extremely fragile; a vacuum cleaner may be used on the firebox. If at any time the logs cannot be removed or installed without forcing, the cause must be found. The logs must never be forced.

CAUTION: The ceramic logs are durable when handled and installed properly. However, they are delicate and may be damaged easily if not handled with care. Handling damage to the ceramic logs is not covered by warranty.

DO NOT HANDLE LOGS WHILE THEY ARE HOT. ALLOW PLENTY OF TIME FOR THE APPLIANCE TO COOL COM- PLETELY BEFORE HANDLING.

PLEASE NOTE

It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/orcontraction noised during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
