3.Keep lower control compartment clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materi- als, etc. It is important that control compart- ments, burners and circulating air passage- ways of the appliance be kept clean and clear of obstruction of venting and combustion air.

4.Always turn off gas to the pilot (millivolt appliances) before cleaning. Before re-light- ing, refer to the lighting instructions in this manual. Instructions are also found on a pull- out panel located on the floor of the appliance.

5.Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.

6.Remember, Millivolt appliances have a con- tinuous burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when using products with combustible vapors.

Glass Cleaning

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodi- cally. During start-up it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass. This can cause lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three times with a non- ammonia household cleaner and warm water (a gas fireplace glass cleaner is recommended). After that the glass should be cleaned two or three times during each heating season, depending on the circumstances present.

Note: Clean glass after first two weeks of operation.

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

CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TOUCH THE FRONT ENCLOSURE GLASS WITH YOUR HANDS WHILE THE FIREPLACE IS IN USE.

Maintenance

The appliance and venting system should be thoroughly inspected before initial use and at least annually by a qualified service techni- cian. However, more frequent periodic inspections and cleanings should be performed by the homeowner. Homeowner must contact a qualified service technician at once if any abnormal condition is observed.

Refer to the maintenance schedule for maintenance tasks,procedures,periodicityandbywhom they should be performed. Always verify proper operation of the appliance after servicing.

IMPORTANT: TURN OFF GAS AND ANY ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.
