 MAINTENANCE

At least once per season, prior to start up, and more
often where there is a heavy lint or dust condition,
this appliance must be cleaned in and around it
surroundings. THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE IN-
SPECTED BEFORE USE AND AT LEAST ANNU-
ALLY BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON.

For cleaning, turn off the pilot light, remove the glass
and logs, and vacuum thoroughly in and around
the appliance.  Vacuum the logs as well. Prior to
replacing the logs, relight the pilot light and start
the main fire.

1.  Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out

any of the ports which may not be burning or are not
burning properly (See Flame Sketch).

2. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to

engulf the generator bulb on one leg and reaches toward
the Burner Tube on the other leg. The pilot should be
burning smooth.

3. Check to see that the both burners ignite instanta-

neously on all openings when turned on. When this is
checked out and cleaned, replace the logs. See installa
tion instructions on Page 9.

4. Have vent system inspected periodically by a qualified

agency to insure that it is unrestricted, and a proper draft is
present when the unit is in operation. Keep appliance area
clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flam-
mable vapor and liquids. Make sure that the combustion
and ventilation air are not obstructed.

IMPORTANT:  If you have a problem, contact a Lo-
cal Licensed Service Company or Local Certified
Gas Fitter FIRST for advise. They are qualified to
make any Repairs or Adjustments. Any other items
which may be required are available through your
local distributor. Contact Selkirk for the location of
your local distributor.
