YEARLY SERVICE PLAN
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.
GLASS MAINTENANCE
•
Always use gloves when removing the glass to protect your hand and prevent fingerprints on the glass.
•
DO NOT USE abrasive cleaners on the glass panels. DO NOT ATTEMPT to clean the glass panels when they
are hot.
•
Do not use normal household (usually ammonia-based) glass cleaners to clean the glass as these cleaners
can leave a permanent stain. Only a gas fireplace glass cleaner should be used.
•
Verify no cracks or breakage in the glass.
•
Place glass in a safe location to prevent breakage.
•
Never attempt to operate the fireplace without the fireplace glass.
PILOT MAINTENANCE
•
Visually inspect the pilot flame. The pilot flame should be always present when the fireplace is in operation.
•
Make sure the pilot flame has two flame tips pointing to the flame sensor (thermocouple) and to the center
of the burner.
•
Make sure the pilot area is clean from any dust, media or any other debris that may disrupt the operation of
the ignition system. Lint or foreign material must be removed with a brush or vacuum.
•
Verify fireplace ignition using the power plug option of your choice. Verify electronic ignition, sparking
sequence, pilot operation and burner ignition.
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.
