Oxford Direct Vent / Natural Vent Gas Heater

Maintenance
Your gas heater will provide years of service with minimal
upkeep. The following procedures will help ensure that your
stove continues to function properly.
Annual System Inspection
Have the entire heater and venting system inspected
annually by a qualified gas technician. Replace any worn
or broken parts.
Logset and Burner / Cleaning and Inspection
Cleanliness is critical to the proper function of the heater.
The logset and burner must all be kept free of dust and
unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas before each
use and clean as necessary.
1. Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool completely
before cleaning.
2. Remove the safety barrier by pulling out, then up.
3. Lift the stove front up and then swing the bottom out to
disengage it from the heater shell. (Figure 58)
4. Carefully remove the glass and frame assembly and
place it out of the way on a flat, padded surface such as
a counter protected by a towel.
6. Use a soft bristled brush to sweep dust or debris from the
Logs, Pilot and Burner. Use care as the logs are fragile
and susceptible to damage.
DO NOT USE A VACUUM
TO CLEAN THE LOGS OR BURNER.
7. Replace the glass panel and frame assembly.
8. Replace the Stove Front.
Care of Cast Iron
An occasional dusting with a dry rag will help keep the
painted surfaces looking new. Use high-temperature stove
paints, available through your local dealer, to touch-up areas
as needed. Clean areas to be painted with a wire brush and
be sure to cover the logs, burner and valve assembly, glass
and frame assembly. Apply the paint sparingly; two light
coats of paint will give better results than a single heavy
coat.
Clean porcelain enamel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If necessary, use only
a cleaning agent formulated especially for use on porcelain
enamel surfaces.
Cleaning the Glass
5. Carefully inspect the Logs for damage. Contact your local
dealer if any damage is evident.
DO NOT OPERATE
THE HEATER WITH DAMAGED LOGS.

TURN THE PILOT OFF BEFORE PAINTING. ALLOW
THE HEATER TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE
PAINTING.
CAUTION
!
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During
start-up, condensation, which is normal, forms on the
inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other airborne
particles to cling to the glass surface. Also initial paint
curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore
recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three times
with a non-ammonia household cleaner and warm water
(we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). After that the
glass should be cleaned two or three times during each
heating season depending on the circumstances present.
Clean glass after first two weeks of operation.
WARNING
!
Allow the glass cool completely before attempting to
clean.
