Maintenance And Service
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:
At least once a year, run through the following procedures to ensure the system is clean and working properly. Check the burner to see if all the ports are clear and clean. Check the pilot to make sure it is not blocked by anything. The pilot flame should be blue with little or no yellow on the tips.
Warning: Clearances must be sufficient to allow access for maintenance and service
Warning: Failure to position the parts in accordance with this manual, or failure to use only parts specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
The venting system must be periodically examined; it is recommended the examination is done by a qualified agency.
GLASS DOOR REMOVAL:
Turn unit off and wait until the appliance has cooled down.
Remove the decorative fascia or
Undo the two (2) 5/16’’ bolts at the top of the door frame and then lift the glass and frame, being careful that the glass does not fall out of the door frame assembly. Install in the reverse order.

When the fireplace has cooled, remove the face of the fireplace along with the glass. See MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE - GLASS DOOR REMOVAL. Check the gasket material on the back of the glass, making sure that it is attached and intact.
During a cold start up, condensation will sometimes form on the glass. This is a normal condition with all fireplaces. However, this condensation can allow dust and lint to cling to the glass surface. Initial paint curing of the appliance can leave a slight film behind the glass, a temporary problem. The glass will need cleaning about two weeks after installation. Use a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth; abrasive cleaners will damage the glass and plated surfaces. Depending on the amount of use, the glass should require cleaning no more than two or three times a season. Do not clean the glass when it is hot.
CLEANING THE FIREBOX:
Remove the logs carefully, as they are very fragile. Gently remove all the embers and rock wool and place on a paper towel. Vacuum the bottom of the firebox thoroughly. Carefully clean any dust off the logs and remove any lint from the burner and pilot. At this time, inspect the burner pan for cracking or severe warping. If a problem is suspected, contact the dealer. Check the logs for deterioration or large amounts of soot; a small amount on the bottom side of the logs is normal. Replace the logs and embers as in the
SECONDARY INSTALLATION - LOG SET AND EMBER INSTALLATION section. If new/more embers and rock wool are
required, contact your nearest ENVIRO dealer.
REPLACING THE GLASS:
The glass in the fireplace is a high temperature ceramic. If the glass is damaged in any way, a factory replacement is required (see PARTS LIST). Wear gloves when handling damaged glass door assembly
