Maintenance
Burner and burner compartment
It is important to keep the burner and the burner compartment clean. At least once a
year the logs should be removed and the burner compartment vacuumed and wiped
out. Remove and replace the logs as per the instructions in this manual.
Always handle the logs with care as they are fragile and may also be hot if
the fireplace is in use.
Cleaning the Standing Pilot Control System
The burner and control system consists of:
• Main burner
• Gas orifice
• Pilot burner
• Thermopile
• Combination millivolt gas valve
Most of these components may require only an occasional check-up and cleaning and
some may require adjustment. If repair is necessary, it should be performed a qualified
and suitably licensed service technician.
In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, turn off the gas to the unit,
remove all logs exposing the burner and pilot assembly. Clean all foreign materials from
the top of the burner. Check to make sure that burner parts are clean. Visually inspect
pilot. Brush or blow away any dust or lint accumulation. If the pilot injector is blocked,
disassembly by a qualified service technician may be required to remove the foreign
matter.
To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the pilot and burner’s flame
characteristics are steady not lifting or floating.
Typically the top 1 to 1.5cm of the thermopile should be engulfed in the pilot flame.
To adjust the pilot burner, turn pilot screw marked “pilot” for the proper flame size.
The aeration shutter is set at the factory and no adjustment should be necessary.
