Annual Cleaning

Vent System

The entire vent system, including the chimney, should be inspected and cleaned every year. If the intake and exhaust venting is disassembled for any reason, it should be reassembled and sealed according to the manufacturer’s instructions provided at the initial installation.

Burner and Logset

Periodically inspect the Firebox, Valve Compartment, Convection Airways and optional Blower to BE CERTAIN THAT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR IS UNOBSTRUCTED.

The firebox should be vacuumed annually to remove any surface build up. Use a soft brush attachment and handle the logs carefully as they are fragile. Be sure to vacuum or wipe off the pilot assembly and burner surfaces.

Glass Care

Clean the glass only when necessary. Wipe the surface with a clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow with a dry, soft towel. Take care not to scratch the glass surface.

WARNING:

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE GLASS. NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS WHEN IT IS HOT.

Gasket Inspection

It is important that the glass gasket be inspected at least annually. Examine the ribbon gasket for signs of deterioration and make sure the gasket has a positive seal. Replace the gasket if necessary. Refer to the replacement parts list on page 29.
