Although the frequency of your fireplace servicing and main- tenance will depend on use and the type of installation, you should have a qualified service technician perform an appli- ance check-up at the beginning of each heating season. See the table below for specific guidelines regarding each fireplace maintenance task.

IMPORTANT: TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING YOUR FIREPLACE.
