CAUTION!
Fireplace gas control must be in the “OFF” position and pilot and main
burners extinguished when cleaning appliance with a vacuum.
Doors can get very hot. Handle only when cool.
General
Have the fireplace and installation inspected yearly
. The inspection must
include, but is not limited to, the following:
•
A visual check of the entire vent system and termination.
•
An inspection of the explosion relief flappers and the door gasketing to
ensure a proper seal.
•
An inspection of the burner, venturi, and primary air openings.
•
An inspection of the gas valve, gas components, and pilot flame. For your
convenience a 1/8" manifold pressure tap is supplied on the gas valve for a
test gauge connection.
•
Ensure proper log placement as per this manual.
•
Inspection of all optional equipment; fans, thermostats, etc.
For
Natural Gas
this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure of 5.5" W.C.
and a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C.
For
Propane Gas
this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure of 11" W.C.
and a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.
Always keep the fireplace area clear and free of combustible materials, as well
as gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not use this appliance if
any part has been under water
. Immediately call a
qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of
the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking and a visible film
may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition and is the result of burning of
protective coatings on new metal.
Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which is a normal by-
product of combustion) which may be visible. Film can easily be removed by
removing the door, as shown on
Page 20
. Handle the door carefully and clean it
with non-abrasive glass cleaners.
Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas", leaving a visual
deposit of a white substance on combustion chamber walls. This can easily be
removed using normal household products.
Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control compartment, burner,
and firebox free from dust and lint.
Fire media (stones) may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot
or other contaminates.
