MAINTENANCE

(See Maintenance Schedule, Page 20)

Refertothemaintenancescheduleformaintenance tasks, procedures, periodicity and by whom they should be performed. Always verify proper opera- tion of the appliance after servicing.

Before re-lighting the fireplace, refer to the lighting instructions in this manual. Instruc- tions are also found on pull-out panels located below the glass door in the control compartment.

WARNING

Turn off gas and electrical power before servicing the appliance.

CAUTION

Wear gloves and safety Glasses for protection while doing required maintenance.

IMPORTANT

Always verify proper operation after servicing.

Inspect Venting System

The appliance and venting system should be thoroughly inspected before initial use and at least annually by a qualified service technician (inspection should include ensuring that exhaust or intake passages are unobstructed and vent components are properly assembled and not damaged). 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.

Clean Lower Control Compartment

Keep lower control compartment clean by vacu- uming or brushing it out at least twice a year (also clean the air venturi with a brush or wire). More frequentcleaningmayberequiredduetoaccumula- tion of lint from carpeting, bedding materials, pet hair, spider webs, etc. It is very important that control compartments, burners, circulating air passageways and air venturi on the appliance are NOT obstructed in any way.

IMPORTANT

It is imperative that the control compartment, burners and circulating air passage ways of appliance be kept clean.

Cleaning Glass

(see Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal and Installation on Pages 6).

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 dry, soft towel as desired. Take care not to scratch the glass surface.

Theviewingglassshouldbecleanedperiodicallyto remove any build-up caused from the following:

IMPORTANT

Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass. Never clean the glass when it is hot.

•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 & water

•Gas fireplace/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.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.

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

avacuum 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.

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 23 for ordering information).

Re-Install Embers, Logs and Volcanic Stone

-Carefully follow placement instructions on Pages 7 to 9 ). 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 11.

WARNING

Label all wires prior to discon- nection when servicing con- trols. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous opera- tion. Verify proper operation after servicing.

Inspect and clean all wire connections. Ensure that there is no melting or damage. Inspection should include:

•Terminals at the Valve

•OFF/ON 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 9 and as described in Flame Appearance and Soot- ing on Page 9. The Homeowner must contact a qualified service technician at once if any abnormal condition is observed.

Small Area Paint Touch-up

The finish of the appliance is a high qual- ity powdercoat. Only use factory supplied powdercoat paint kit for touch-ups. Paint is available at your local authorized LHP dealer, cat. no. 90L74. Never attempt to paint a hot fireplace.
