An incorrect pilot flame pattern is shown in Figure 12. This pilot flame will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the log set will shut off. If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, or if log set shuts off, contact your service technician.

Burner And Flame Characteristics

The Serene Heat Gas Log Set features a new concept in integrated burner and log design. The flames from the burner travel horizontally through the log set and emerge at the knot holes.

The flames are slightly blue off the burner and as they progress through the log set, they change to a light yellow color. Yellow decorative flames are visible as the flames exit the log set.

When the log set is first lit, the flame may be entirely blue. Light yellow flame will form at the top of the logs after several minutes of operation.

The base of the log set and the underside of the top log glows a brilliant red. For an example of the log set, see Figure 13.

OPERATION AND CARE OF YOUR APPLIANCE

1.Appliance operation may be controlled through the ON/OFF unit rocker switch, located in the bottom front of the appliance, or through a remotely located optional wall switch or wall thermostat (Millivolt models only).

2.When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit an odor for an hour or two. This is due to the “burn-in” of the internal paints and lubri- cants used in the manufacturing process. For the first few hours, operate the appliance with doors and windows open to encourage the dissipation of odor.

CLEANING AND SERVICING

WARNING:TURNOFFTHEAPPLIANCEAND ALLOW TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING.

CAUTION: YOU MUST KEEP CONTROL AR- EAS, BURNERS AND CIRCULATING AIR PAS- SAGEWAYS OF APPLIANCE CLEAN. INSPECT THESE AREAS OF APPLIANCE BEFORE EACH USE. HAVE APPLIANCE AND CHIMNEY (IF APPLICABLE) INSPECTED YEARLY BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON. APPLIANCE MAY NEED MORE FREQUENT CLEANING DUE TO EXCESSIVE LINT FORM CARPETING, BED- DING MATERIAL, ETC.

Only limited cleaning will be required under the normal use of the appliance. Dust the front grate, the top of the piezo cover and the control knob occasionally. Do not use cleaning fluids to clean the logs or any other part of the appliance.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATION NOT TO SCALE.

Remove the log set, gently handling at each end. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove loose particles from the base and from around the burners. Gloves are recommended to prevent the fibers from pricking your skin. If the skin is pricked, wash gently with soap and water. Replace the log set.

If, after a period of use, the flames start to exhibit unusual shapes and behavior, if there is any evidence of soot formation, blue tipping of the flames, or any strong odors, or the burners fail to ignite smoothly, then the burner holes may require some cleaning. If this hap- pens, it is preferable to contact your nearest authorized service technician to get the appli- ance serviced.
