Keep the control compartment, logs and burner area clean by 

vacuuming or brushing the area at least once a year.

Cleaning Instructions

This fireplace 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.

 

WARNING

The logs and burner can get very hot - handle only when cool.

Always turn off gas to the fireplace before cleaning. For 

relighting, refer to the lighting instructions located on the rating 

plate or on pages 17 and 18.

PERIODIC CLEANING – Refer to parts diagram for location

Millivolt - Figure 22

Visually check the ignitor for dirt and damage as the fireplace is 

installed. 
In normal operation at full rate after 10 to 15 minutes, the flame 

appearance should be sets of yellow flames.

NOTICE: 

All flames will be random by design, flame height will 

go up and down.

Initial Break-in

The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with the 

burner at the highest setting. Any odors remaining after this initial 

break-in will be slight and will disappear with continued use.
