3 Maintenance and Service

Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the fireplace.

When properly maintained, your fireplace will give you many years of trouble-free service. We recommend an- nual service by a qualified service technician.

Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service technician only. The fireplace should be inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person.

The following tasks may be performed annually by the homeowner. If you are uncomfortable performing any of the listed tasks, please call your dealer for a service ap- pointment.

More frequent cleaning may be required due to lint from carpeting or other factors. Control compartment, burner and circulating air passageway of the fireplace must be kept clean.
