BURNER MAINTENANCE
•
The flames from the burner should be visually checked. The flame should have a blue base and yellow tops and be candle-like
in appearance.
•
If excessive soot is found inside the firebox area, the fireplace will require adjustment. Verify the air shutter and vent
restrictor setting and document any changes.
•
If the flame becomes sooty, dark orange in color, or extremely tall, do not operate the heater.
•
Measure gas pressure. Inlet W.C., Outlet W.C.
VENT MAINTENANCE
The following venting system inspection by a qualified service technician is recommended every six months:
•
Inspect for excessive condensation, e.g., water droplets forming in the inner lining and subsequently dripping out of the
joints. This can cause corrosion in the system.
•
Check for corrosion in areas exposed to the elements. Where rust spots or holes have appeared, these must be immediately
replaced.
•
Ensure that there is no foreign material in the vents. Survey by removing the cap and shining a light down the vent.
•
Check all joints and pipes to make sure that nothing has been disturbed or loosened.
DOUBLE GLASS FANS
•
Disconnect power to the Flare control system.
•
Remove the external glass and the covering trim.
•
Inspect the fans around the Flare firebox and make sure they are all turning.
•
Clean all fans with a brush and vacuum to remove any dust or debris.
•
Inspect the lower fireplace intake. Clean the lower vent intake with a brush and vacuum any dust or debris.
•
Connect back the Flare control power and press the Flare remote arrow down. Make sure all fans are working properly.
