MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
The Decorative Gas Log Set should be thoroughly inspected on a
regular basis at least once a year by a qualified installer.
At the beginning of each heating season, the system should be
checked as follows:
1. Check the chimney flue or vent pipe to make sure that the
flue is drawing properly, and that any vent pipe connections
are tight.
2. Check to see that there are no blockages at the chimney or
vent termination.
3. Check for creosote and soot build-up in chimney and/or
vents and clean if necessary.
4. Inspect the pilot and burners (if applicable).
The burner system has been adjusted for proper operation at the
factory. No adjustment is necessary, other than altitude de-rate or
pilot flame.
NEVER
enlarge valve orifices or burner ports.
Sooting
Some sooting of your log set is normal, adding to the appearance
of burned wood. If excessive sooting accumulates, clean the logs
using either of the following options::
A. While the logs are burning and hot, spray the logs with
clean water. The soot will lift off and burn off.
B. When the logs are cold, brush the soot off with a stiff
brush. Do not use water or soot cleaners at the same
time as a brush.
