AMAGE
The Champlain is packaged by the
manufacturer to withstand shipment without
damage. However, damage can occur during
transit so take care to inspect for damage
when unpacking and installing the unit. If
any damage or missing parts are detected,
immediately contact your dealer
.
Do not
install or put into service a damaged or
incomplete heater.
The unit should appear to be square and
level. The sheet metal parts should be
smooth and free of bends or dents. The
enameled cast iron should be free of chips or
cracks. If visible or concealed damage is
found, contact your dealer.
The decorative ceramic fiber logs supplied
with the Champlain are located in the
firebox. Always use great care when
handling the decorative ceramic logs, as
they are fragile and subject to damage and
breakage. To open the firebox, remove the
two upper front screws (located in the grill
of the front) that hold the cast façade onto
the unit.
(THESE SCREWS ARE
SHIPPED ON THE UNIT FOR
TRANSIT PURPOSES ONLY AND DO
NOT NEED TO BE REINSTALLED)
Next, open the valve access door, by pulling
the ash lip down and allowing the door to
swing away. Grasp the handle of the latch,
located in the center of the opening, and
pull forward, being careful not to drop the
front as the latch is unfastened. Be careful
not to chip the enamel when unlatching the
front. To open the firebox, reach over the
firebox, and under the front grill. With a flat
screwdriver pry the retaining clips up. There
will be two separate clips. Be careful, when
you lift the last one, as it will free the glass
and frame from the unit.
