Superior SDV35 MAINTENANCE (See Maintenance Schedule, Page 22), IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive clean- ers on glass. Never clean the glass when it is hot.

Replacing Logs

If the logs become damaged by accident or im-

proper handling and need replacement, use only

the proper replacement logs from manufacturer

(see Page 24 for ordering information).

Re-Install Embers and Logs

Carefully follow placement instructions on

Pages 12 and 13). All logs should ﬁt onto cor-

responding pins and/or log stoppers. This will

ensure a proper ﬂame and safe combustion.

Inspect Wiring

Refer to wiring diagrams on Page 16.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to discon-

nection when servicing controls. Wiring

errors can cause improper and dangerous

operation. Verify proper operation after

servicing.

ATTENTION: Au moment de l'entretien des

commandes, étiquetez tous les fils avant

de les débrancher. Des erreurs de cáblage

peuvent entraîner un fonctionnement

inadéquat et dangereux.

Inspect and clean all wire connections. Ensure

that there is no melting or damage. Inspection

should include:

• Terminals at the Valve

• Blower ON/OFF Switch

• (Optional Control Switch) Wall Thermostat,

Remote Control or Remote Wall Switch Kit

Inspect Burner Flame Appearance

Ensure that the burner flame appearance

resembles the ﬂame shown in Figure 8 on Page

14 and as described in Flame Appearance and

Sooting on Page 14. The Homeowner must

contact a qualiﬁed service technician at once

if any abnormal condition is observed.

Small Area Paint Touch-up

Only use a factory supplied paint kit for touch-

ups. Paint is available at your local authorized

LHP dealer. Never attempt to paint a hot

ﬁreplace.

If the surface later becomes stained or marred,

it may be lightly sanded and touched up with

spray paint.

MAINTENANCE

(See Maintenance Schedule, Page 22)

Refer to the maintenance schedul e for mainte-

nance tasks, procedures, frequency and by whom

they should be performed. Always verify proper

operation of the appliance after servicing.

CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety

glasses for protection while doing

required maintenance.

Verify proper operation after servicing.

S'assurer que l'appareil fonctionne adé-

quatement une fois l'entretien terminé.

Always turn off gas to the pilot (millivolt

appliances) before cleaning. Before re-

lighting, refer to the lighting instructions

in this manual. Instructions are also found

on a pull-out panel located in the control

compartment.

Inspect Venting System

The appliance and venting system should be

thoroughly inspected before initial use and

at least annually by a qualiﬁed service techni-

cian (inspection should include ensuring that

exhaust or intake passages are unobstructed

and vent components are properly assembled

and not damaged). Homeowner must contact

a qualiﬁed service technician at once if any

abnormal condition is observed.

If the venting system is disassembled for any

reason, a qualiﬁed service technician should

follow vent installation instructions for proper

reassembly and proper sealing of the venting

system components. However, more frequent

periodic inspections and cleanings should be

performed by the homeowner.

Cleaning Glass

(see Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal and

Installation on Page 11).

WARNING

Turn off gas and electrical power to the ﬁreplace and allow it to cool before cleaning or servicing the appliance.

Note: Clean glass after ﬁrst two weeks of opera-

tion (after Burn-In period is over) and then only

when necessary and when the ﬁreplace is cool.

Wipe surface with clean, dampened, soft cloth.

Follow with a dry, soft towel as desired. Take

care not to scratch the glass surface.

IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive clean-

ers on glass. Never clean the glass when

it is hot.

The viewing glass should be cleaned periodi-

cally to remove any build-up caused from the

following:

• During start-up, it is normal for condensa-

tion to form on the inside of the glass (this

condensation and fog will usually disappear

in a few minutes). The moisture can cause

lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling

to the glass surface.

• Initial curing of the high temperature paint

and burning off of lubricants used in the

manufacturing process may result in a ﬁlm

on the glass.

• A white coating may form on the glass as

a result of impurities and minerals in the

fuel.

It is recommended that the glass be cleaned

two or three times during each heating season,

depending on the circumstances present. The

following cleaning solutions are approved for

use to clean glass:

• Non-ammonia based household cleaner

• 50%-50% mix of white vinegar and water

• Gas replace/stove glass cleaner

Inspect Glass Gasket - Visually inspect the

gasket on the backside of the glass enclosure

panels. The gasket surface must be clean, free

of irregularities and seated ﬁrmly.

Clean Control Compartment

Keep 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 materials, etc. It is

important that control compartments, burners

and circulating air passageways of the appliance

be kept clean.

Clean Logs And Burner

Carefully remove the logs (use care when han-

dling the ﬁber logs, as they become quite fragile

after curing). Vacuum out any foreign matter

(lint, carbon, etc.) on the burner. Ensure the

burner ports are “open.” Remove any carbon

deposits from the under side of the logs using

a vacuum cleaner, or a soft bristled brush (i.e.

paint brush).

Note: Improper positioning of logs can create

carbon build-up and will alter the performance

of the appliance.
