20.1 Cleaning and Routine Maintenance
The exterior painted surfaces, glass, and metal plated trims may be cleaned with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and water or a suitable,
mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Be sure there are no fingerprints left on the glass panels as high temperatures can bake these prints on
permanently.
Regularly:
•
Frequent cleaning of the ceramic glass is recommended. We recommend using a good quality ammonia free gas fireplace glass
cleaner that is available at any hearth retail location. Take care to avoid scratching glass while cleaning. DO NOT CLEAN WHILE
HOT. Never use common household cleaners to clean the glass.
•
Keep the appliance area free from combustible materials, such as paper, wood, clothing, gasoline and flammable solids, liquids
and vapors
•
Visually check the height and color of the burner and pilot flames
Once a year, have a qualified service technician:
•
Perform the regular services listed above
•
Inspect and operate the pressure relief mechanism (door buckles) to verify they are free from obstruction and operate properly
•
Carefully remove the logs and gently brush off any loose carbon deposits. This job is best done outside the house, wearing a dust
mask. The logs are very fragile, take care not to break them. Do not wash logs with any liquid. While the logs are removed, check
that all burner openings are not obstructed and it is recommended you use a vacuum cleaner to clean off any dust or lint
•
Vacuum and clean any lint accumulations or debris in the firebox, on the burners, on the pilot, at the primary air opening, on the
convection air blower and in any combustion and convection air passageways
•
After cleaning, the logs and embers must be replaced according to the instructions in this manual
•
Inspect the operation of the flame safety system pilot and gas valve
•
Inspect and ensure the lighting of the main burner occurs within 4 seconds of the main gas valve opening. Flames should match
those shown in
Figure 20.5.01
•
Completely inspect the appliance and the venting system, if the vent pipe or seal is found to be defective, replace and or reseal
(follow the instructions found in the venting instructions,
Section 13.0
)
•
Inspect the condition of the vent and vent terminal for sooting or obstruction and correct if present
•
Test and measure the flame failure response time of the flame safety system. It must de-energize the safety shutoff in no more than
30 seconds
•
Check all accessible gas-carrying tubes, connections, pipes and other components for leaks
