TROUBLESHOOTING

SYMpTOMS - pOSSIBLE CAUSES AND CORRECTIONS

Keep the control compartment and burner area surrounding the 

burner clean.

Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible 

materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the 

front of the appliance clear of all obstacles and materials.

Cleaning Instructions

This appliance is built using mostly high-grade stainless steel to 

resist rust-through. In outdoor applications, all stainless steel will 

develop a dull patina and, depending on the local environment 

and on the materials used in the installation, may develop some 

surface oxidation (rust). This does not affect the performance of 

the  fireplace,  and  does  not  require  any  action  to  correct.  If  you 

prefer keeping your fireplace front looking factory-fresh, clean it as 

required with stainless steel cleaner.

When installation application includes highly acidic applications 

such as mortar or stone etching, do not remove the protective PVC 

film from the stainless steel until after this application is complete. 

Once the film has been removed we recommend that the appli

-

ance be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner immediately.

Please note that areas where the film has been formed (corners, 

hems,  etc.)  may  require  extra  cleaning  due  to  the  properties  of 

the film. Ensure that all protective film has been removed from the 

fireplace prior to burning the appliance.
