MAINTENANCE

A qualified service person recommended by your Harman dealer should conduct an annual in- spection and maintenance of your fireplace, its vent- ing, and the installation to keep it running safely and efficiently. The following procedures should be per- formed only by a qualified service person. The gas supply should be turned off whenever a maintenance procedure is performed.

If the glass front, side doors, or front access door are removed for servicing, they must be re- placed prior to operating the fireplace.

Replacing the Gasket

2.Bend four tab up far enough to remove the glass.

3.Remove old gasket.

4.Install new gasket around glass.

5.Place glass back in frame.

Cleaning the Glass

The glass may be cleaned with ordinary house- hold glass cleaner and a soft cloth or paper towel.

WARNING: Never clean the glass when it is hot. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass. Inspecting the Venting

An inspection of both the inner and outer pipes of the venting system should be made during the annual service appointment. They must have no blockage and be in good repair. The vent manufacturer's instructions may provide specific suggestions or details on vent inspection. Any sec- tions that are taken apart for the inspection must be reassembled and sealed as required.

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 forc- ing, the cause must be found. The logs must never be forced.
