GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Annual maintenance of the unit is required. We recommend that the following procedures be performed each year by your fireplace dealer.
Clean all lint and dust
Remove logs and coals, and clean away any foreign matter (excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, household dust, etc.) on the burner and burner base. Inspect and clean the pilot and the underside of the logs for any carbon deposits. Inspect and clean the burner ports by vacuuming top of burner.
Make sure hot air outlet grills are free from lint and other obstructions. Never block or obstruct grill openings.
Check condition of door gasket. Gaskets must be tight. Replace if necessary.
Be sure the vent termination is open and free of blockage, and has not been damaged. The vent termination should be checked annually by a qualified agency.
Before reinstalling door assembly, check the operation of the pilot and cycle the burner per the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” on Page 19.
NOTE: The appliance area should be kept clean and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
NOTE: Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing or maintenance must be replaced prior to operating the heater.
The flow of combustion and ventilation air should not be obstructed.
The viewing glass should be cleaned periodically. Exterior glass may be cleaned with cleaner as desired. Interior glass - use soap and water.
