Cleaning and Maintenance / Main Burner

Warning:

 Turn off heater and let cool before cleaning.

After use, cleaning of the main burner may be required for the 

proper flame. The main burner may be cleaned by applying air 

pressure to the ports on the main burner.

Cleaning the Log Set and Firebox

CAUTION: Do not handle these logs with your bare hands. 

Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation.

During the annual inspection and maintenance appointment, the 

service person should clean dust, lint, and any light accumulation 

from the logs and the firebox area. An extra-soft brush should be 

used on the logs and burner as they are extremely fragile; a vacuum 

cleaner may be used on the firebox. If at any time the logs cannot 

be removed or installed without forcing, the cause must be found. 

The logs must never be forced.

CAUTION: 

  The  ceramic  logs  are  durable  when  handled  and 

installed properly. However, they are delicate and may be damaged 

easily if not handled with care. Handling damage to the ceramic 

logs is not covered by warranty.
DO NOT HANDLE LOGS WHILE THEY ARE HOT. ALLOW 

PLENTY OF TIME FOR THE APPLIANCE TO COOL COM-

PLETELY BEFORE HANDLING.

PLEASE NOTE

It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off 

some expansion and/or contraction noises during the start 

up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your 

furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
