Radiance Natural Vent Gas Heater

Maintenance

Your Radiance Gas Heater will provide years of service with minimal upkeep. The following procedures will help ensure that your stove continues to function properly.

Annual System Inspection

Have the entire heater and venting system inspected annually by a qualified gas technician. Replace any worn or broken parts.

Logset and Burner

Cleaning and Inspection

Cleanliness is critical to the proper function of the heater. The logset and burner must all be kept free of dust and unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas before each use and clean as necessary.

1.Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool com- pletely before cleaning.

2.Lift the Stove Front up and then swing the bottom out to disengage it from the heater shell. (Fig. 44)

3.Carefully remove the glass and frame assembly and place it out of the way on a flat, padded surface such as a counter protected by a towel.

4.Carefully inspect the Logs for damage. Contact your local dealer if any damage is evident.

5.Use a soft bristled brush to sweep dust or debris from the Logs, Pilot and Burner. Use care as the logs are fragile and susceptible to damage.

6.Replace the glass panel and frame assembly.

7.Replace the Stove Front.

CAUTION

TURN THE PILOT OFF BEFORE PAINTING. ALLOW THE HEATER TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE PAINTING.

Cleaning the Glass

WARNING: Let the glass cool completely before attempting to clean.

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up, condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other airborne particles cling to the glass surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three times with a non-ammonia household cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). After that the glass should be cleaned two or three times during each heating season depend- ing on the circumstances present.

Clean glass after first two weeks of operation.

Glass Replacement

Replace glass only with CFM Specialty Home Products approved parts. Refer to Page 25 for Replacement Parts. Refer to Figure 43 for removal of the damaged glass frame.

Care of Cast Iron

An occasional dusting with a dry rag will help keep the painted surfaces looking new. Use high-temperature stove paints, available through your local dealer, to touch-up areas as needed. Clean areas to be painted with a wire brush and be sure to cover the logs, burner and valve assembly, glass and frame assembly. Apply the paint sparingly; two light coats of paint will give better results than a single heavy coat.

Clean porcelain enamel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If neces- sary, use only a cleaning agent formulated especially for use on porcelain enamel surfaces.
