CLEANING AND 

MAINTENANCE

 WARNING: Turn off the ap-

pliance and allow to cool before 

cleaning.

  CAUTION:  You  must  keep 

control  areas,  burners  and 

circulating air passageways of 

fireplace  clean.  Inspect  these 

areas  of  fireplace  before  each 

use. Have fireplace and chimney 

(if applicable) inspected yearly 

by  a  qualified  service  person. 

Fireplace  may  need  more  fre-

quent cleaning due to excessive 

lint  from  carpeting,  bedding 

material, etc.

Only limited cleaning will be required under nor-

mal use of this appliance. Dust the front grate and 

top of receiver/valve. Do not use cleaning fluids to 

clean logs or any other part of the appliance.
If, after a period of use, the flames start to exhibit 

unusual shapes and behavior or the burner fails to 

ignite smoothly, then the burner holes may require 

some cleaning. If this happens, we recommend 

that you contact your nearest authorized service 

technician to get the appliance serviced.

TRANSMITTER

If the battery light is on or the display is blank, 

you will need to replace the three AAA batteries 

in transmitter/remoter. To change batteries in the 

transmitter/remote, slide the battery compartment 

door off to expose old batteries. Place new batteries 

into housing and reattach door. See Figure 15.
