button to the

position, completely clockwise
.
If the stove will not be used for an extended
period, close the gas valve in the gas supply
pipe as well.
Combustion control
When the stove is still fairly cold, the flames of the
main burner are very blue during ignition. As the stove
heats up to operating temperature, the flames will
gradually become yellower and will approximate the
effect of a real wood fire.
Heating recommendations
It is best to leave the pilot on during the heating sea-
son as one will have less trouble with condensation
forming on the window and it will stay clean longer.
Resolving problems
Refer to the appendix "Diagnostic diagram" to resolve
any problems in using the appliance.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance instructions in this chapter to
keep the appliance in good condition.
Annual maintenance for the
appliance
The appliance must be maintained and inspected by
an expert once per year. This service should include
at least the following:
Dust and otherwise clean the combustion chamber
and ducts for the air supply and the flue gas
exhaust.
Inspection and leak check of both the air and flue
gas ducts and the roof or facade lead-though.
Dust and otherwise clean the burner. Use a
vacuum cleaner to remove the dirt from the burner.
Dust the ceramic logs.
Please note: these logs are extremely fragile.
Do not use hard or abrasive materials or com-
pressed air to spray off dirt.
Clean and check the main nozzle.
Disassemble and clean the pilot flame nozzle and
thermocouple.
Check the air tightness of the gas pipes.
Check the remote control, replace the batteries if
necessary.
Operation test: ignition of pilot flame, ignition of
main burner, operation of the remote control.
Access to the most important com-
ponents
Access to a number of internal components of the
stove is required to perform annual maintenance.
1. Open the door; see the "Installation" chapter for
instructions.
2. Remove the decorative wood block set from the
stove.
The pilot and thermocouple can now be reached for
maintenance or possible replacement.
Cleaning and other regularly
maintenance
Do not clean the appliance when it is still
warm.
