CAUTION :
Do not conduct maintenance on the appliance while it is operating or while it is still hot.
Always verify proper operation after servicing.
WARNING:
All parts removed or disturbed must be properly replaced after maintenance.
Service and repair must be conducted by a qualified service person. If these

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
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 am-
monia 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 ob-
struction and operate properly
•
Carefully remove the logs and gently brush off any loose carbon deposits. This job is best done out-
side 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 ob-
structed and it is recommended you use a vacuum cleaner to clean off any dust or lint
•
After cleaning, the logs and embers must be replaced according to the instructions in this manual
•
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 pas-
sageways
•
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.
•
Completely inspect the appliance and the venting system, if the vent pipe or seal is found to be de-
fective, replace and or reseal (follow the instructions found in the venting instructions)
•
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
