CAN I OPERATE DURING POWER
OUTAGES?
This electronic ignition system uses the supplied
120VAC power when it is available for all functions
of this system. If you experience a power outage,
insert 4 AA batteries into battery pack located in
the ignition module box. During the power outage,
the burner will function as well as the flame
height adjustment. The fan, which is dependent
on 120VAC power, will not function. Your installer
should demonstrate the backup DC power pack
during power outages. Be sure to retain the DC
battery pack and the connecting harness in a safe
and secure place for use during power outages.
WHAT IS THE REQUIRED ANNUAL
MAINTENANCE?
NOTE: Any adjustments to burner, pilot, or logs must
be done by a qualified authorized service person.
The following procedures must be performed each
year by a qualified service person. Recommended
steps for yearly maintenance:
1. Remove logs and coals and clean away any
foreign matter (lint, carbon, etc.) on the burner
and logs. Be sure the burner ports are “open”.
Clean the pilot and under side of the logs for
any carbon deposits. Logs should be visually
checked for carbon buildup. If carbon deposits
are visible on logs, turned off and contact an
authorized service person. Be sure logs are re-
installed per instructions.
2. Clean all lint and dust build-up around the
control. Inspect the condition of any wiring
under the burner for melting or damage. Clean
flame sensor rod/hook using emery cloth.
Vacuum all burner ports and pilot assembly.
3. Check condition of glass door gasket, the
gasket must seal tightly over firebox, Inspect
gasket along top and sides of glass. If gasket at
corners of glass are bulging outward or if gasket
bulb along top edge or sides are discolored to
a white color appearance through the whole
thickness of the gasket bulb, then replace the
gasket. White colored gasket bulb indicates
exhaust leak through the discolored area and
requires replacement of the glass gasket.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANER OR AMMONIA-
BASED PRODUCTS TO CLEAN GLASS. CLEAN
THE GLASS ONLY WHEN IT HAS COOLED TO
ROOM TEMPERATURE.
HOW DO I CLEAN THE GLASS?
CAUTION:
ADDITIVES THAT ARE PUT IN GAS (BOTH
NATURAL AND LP) TO MAKE IT SMELL CAN
LEAVE A RESIDUE ON THE GLASS THAT LOOKS
LIKE A WHITE FILM DEPOSIT. THIS DEPOSIT
CAN BE REMOVED WITH CLEANERS SUCH AS
KEL KEM “POLISH PLUS” OR COMPARABLE
PRODUCT. CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED
DEALER FOR MORE INFORMATION.
The glass should be cleaned periodically. To clean
glass surface, use a soft cloth and a non-abrasive
glass cleaner. Your dealer should carry a Fireplace
Glass Cleaner. Do not use oven cleaner or abrasive
cleaners to clean glass. DO NOT clean when the
glass is hot.
IS MY FLAME APPEARANCE CORRECT?
There are air shutters and media that can be adjusted
depending on your fuel and venting configuration.
These adjustments should be made by a qualified
technician to achieve the best flame appearance.
Contact your installer or authorized dealer if you
feel it is not burning correctly. Improper setup and
adjustment is not covered under warranty. Follow
these steps for periodic inspections:
1. Check to verify that the vent system and vent
cap are open and free of blockage.
2. The glass should be cleaned periodically (see
the “How Do I Clean The Glass?” section of this
manual).
3. Before re-installing glass, have qualified service
person check the operation of the pilot and cycle
the burner per lighting instructions. Be sure all
items in lighting and installation checklists are
completed.
4. Periodic visual check of pilot flames is required.
Pilot flame must overlap flame sensor and
burner ignition ports always. Especially for LP
gas applications, always verify visible pilot flame
length is at least 1” long.
