CLEANING AND 

MAINTENANCE

 WARNING: Turn off the ap-

pliance and allow to cool before 

cleaning.

  CAUTION:  You  must  keep 

control  areas,  burners  and  cir-

culating air passageways of fire-

place clean. Inspect these areas 

of fireplace before each use. Have 

fireplace  and  chimney  (if  appli-

cable) inspected yearly by a quali-

fied service person. Fireplace may 

need more frequent 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.

•  Keep area around log set clean and clear of 

debris.

•  Periodically inspect the air mixer and burner 

tube for foreign matter blocking the air inlet 

and flame holes.

•  Once every year a qualified agency or certified 

chimney sweep should examine and clean the 

venting system of the fireplace.

SERVICE HINTS

When Gas Pressure is Too Low

•  pilot will not stay lit
•  burners will have delayed ignition
•  propane/LP gas supply may be low
You  may  feel  your  gas  pressure  is  too  low.  If 

so, contact your local propane/LP or natural gas 

supplier.
