Maintaining Your Fireplace's Appearance
!
Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional gold surface may become etched in place if they are
not wiped clean prior to turning the stove on. Clean the gold with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth
(make sure the fireplace is cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the
gold.
Yearly Service Procedure
!
Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace may lead to improper combustion and a potentially
dangerous situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
1
Check the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and touch the
top of the thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
2
Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the
Pilot" on page 33). Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see instructions
included with face) and glass (see page 26).
3
Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 27). If severely deteriorated,
replace. Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If
excessive sooting is found, the fireplace will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4
Clean the burner tube (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:
•
Check for burner pan holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded.
•
Make sure the burner assembly is not warped or damaged.
•
Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.
If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.

Thermocouple
Before Disassembly -
Check the pilot flame. It
should touch the
thermocouple and
thermopile.
5
Replace the log set. Replace the glass (if the glass is damaged, replace it). Make sure the gasket
along the perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight seal. If it does
not, re-align or replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Replace the faceplate.
6
Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and all of
the gas lines. If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
7
Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top
of the firebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service.
Monitor the blower operation.
8
Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or
deterioration is found near the vent termination.
