PILOT AND BURNERS

•  Remove  ember  material  before  cleaning 

burners  and  replace  when  cleaning  is 
complete.

•  Burner  and  controls  should  be  cleaned 

with  compressed  air  to  remove  dust,  dirt 
or lint.

brush to remove excess dust, dirt or lint.

•  If  you  remove  logs  for  cleaning,  refer  to 

Installing Lava Rock and Glowing Embers

page 26, to properly replace logs.

•  Use  a  vacuum  cleaner  to  remove  any

Parts

VENTING SYSTEM

Conduct  annual  inspection  of  the  venting 
system following these guidelines:
1.  Check areas of venting system that are 

exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust 
spots or streaks and, in extreme cases, 
holes).  Have  these  items  replaced  im

-

mediately by a qualified service person.

2.  Remove vent cap and shine a flashlight 

into vent. Remove any foreign material.

3.  Check  for  evidence  of  excessive  con

-

densation. Continuous condensation can 
cause corrosion of caps, pipes and fittings 
and can be caused by having excessive 
lateral runs, too many elbows or exterior 
portions of the system being exposed to 
cold weather.

4.  Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section 

or  fitting  has  been  disturbed  and  loos

-

ened. Check mechanical supports such 
as wall straps for rigidity.
