MAINTENANCE
Note:
Your appliance should be inspected, serviced and checked annually by a
qualified service person to ensure that your appliance is operating safe and
efficiently. Should you detect any abnormality in the operation of your
appliance call a qualified service person who has been trained and approved to
inspect and service the appliance. This may be your installer or dealer.
(Routine service is not covered under warranty)
LOG PLACEMENT
Cracks in a log’s surface or crumbling is normal and do not affect the heater’s operation.
If for any reason a log should need replacement, you must use the proper replacement log.
Consult your Archer dealer for purchase of correct replacement logs.
Replacement logs must be installed and positioned as outlined on pages 8 to 11 under Log
Installation.
Note:
Improper positioning of logs will create carbon build up and will alter the unit’s
performance and operation, which is not covered under warranty.
MAIN CONVECTION FAN
The main convection fan in the heater should be checked, serviced and cleaned annually by a
qualified service person to ensure that your appliance is operating efficiently.
Note:
If the main convection fan becomes clogged with lint and dust an over
temperature situation will occur through the heater exchange system and the over
temperature safety switch will stop the heater from operating.
HEAT EXCHANGER
The heat exchanger of the unit is located at the rear of the heater. The heat exchanger should
be inspected annually by a qualified service person for lint and dust build up. Excessive dust
and lint build up in the heat exchanger can alter the unit’s performance and operation.
Note:
This appliance (Insert and Freestanding Models) needs to be installed in
such a way that the heater (especially with models built into a fireplace) can
be removed at all times to service the heat exchanger and flue fan, which are
located at the rear section of the heater.
Under no circumstances should the appliance be installed under conditions
that would not allow for easy removal of the appliance to carry out routine
inspection and service work on the appliance. The warranty will be void if
access or easy removal is not available.
DISCONNECT MAIN POWER
PRIOR TO COMMENCING ANY
WORK ON THE APPLIANCE.
