Inspecting the Venting

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

Cleaning the Log Set and Firebox

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE GLASS FRONT REMOVED, CRACKED OR BROKEN. REPLACEMENT OF GLASS SHOULD BE DONE BY A LICENSED OR QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON. NEVER USE SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.

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.
