PLEASE NOTE
It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off some
expansion and/or contraction noise during the start up or
cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace
heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the
first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and
any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least six
(6) hours the first time you use it. If optional fan kit has been
installed, place fan in the “OFF” position during this time.
IMPORTANT:
Turn off gas before servicing appliance. It is
recommended that a qualified service person perform these check-
ups at the beginning of each heating season.
• Clean Burner and Control Compartment
Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding
the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Turn off pilot light at gas valve.
2. Remove glass front. (See Glass Removal)
3. Vacuum burner compartment.
4. Reinstall glass front.
5. Ignite pilot. (See Lighting Instructions)
6. Operate the pilot burner. If it appears abnormal call a service
person.
• Check Vent System
The appliance and venting system should be inspected before
initial use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure
that no debris is interfering with the air flow.
Glass Cleaning
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-abrasive 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.
General Glass Information
WARNING
Do not operate appliance with the glass front removed,
cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass should be done
by a licensed or qualified service person.
Only glass approved for use by the manufacturer in fireplace may
be used for replacement. The glass replacement should be done
by a licensed or qualified service person.
WARNING
1. The use of substitute glass will void all product warranties.
2. Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass.
3. Under no circumstances should this appliance be operated
without the glass front or with a broken glass front.
Replacement of the glass (with gasket) as supplied by the
manufacturer should be done by a qualified service person.
4. Do not abuse the glass by striking or hitting the glass.
WARNING
Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass. Do not attempt to
clean glass when glass is hot.
Glass Door Removal
1. Remove the top louver by grasping the louver, then lift upward
and pull forward.
2. Remove the bottom louver by lifting up and pulling forward.
3. Locate the bottom two glass frame spring clamps. Pull forward
and down to release them from the Glass Door frame.
4. Remove the Glass Door by pulling the bottom of the door
outward several inches, then lift upwards to disengage it from
the firebox upper flange.
Glass Door Installation
1. When installing the Glass Door assembly, make sure that the
door top flange is hooked over the firebox top flange as illustrated
in the “Correct” view in
Figure 4.
Important: Do not allow the gasket across the top of the
door to roll up on top of the firebox flange as shown in
“Incorrect” view in Figure 4.
2. To install correctly, the door should be held at an angle outward
from the firebox as shown in the illustration, then carefully engage
the upper flange of the door frame with the top flange of the
firebox. Center the door left to right, then allow the bottom of
the door to swing inward to seal against the firebox front.
3. Once the glass door is placed flat to the firebox front edges,
engage the two spring latches to the bottom flange on the glass
door frame to secure the door assembly.
4. Replace the top and bottom louvers.
