G136 SERIES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
G. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cleaning the Burner and Control
Compartment
Keep the burner and control compartment clean by
brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. Always
turn off the gas valve and remote wall switch before
cleaning.
2. Checking Flame Patterns
Check the flame pattern of the burner periodically,
making sure the flames are steady, not lifting or
floating. The flame color should be blue with yellow
tips. The ignitor (electronic) or thermopile and
thermopile (standing pilot) tips should be covered with
flame. See Figures 35-37.
3. Venting System Inspection
The appliance and venting system should be
inspected before use, at least annually, by a qualified
field service person, to ensure that the flow of
combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.
4. Log Cleaning
Logs can be easily lifted out of position. Carbon
buildup (soot) can be removed with a vacuum cleaner.
To prevent possibilities of soot, we have provided your
appliance with an adjustable air shutter. Your air
shutter is provided in an open position to ensure clean
operation under normal situations. In the event that
soot is accumulating in your appliance, the air shutter
should be opened farther (see Figure 38 for location
of air shutter). This can be done with a screwdriver or
a 1/4 wrench. Also, ensure that logs are positioned
correctly to minimize flame contact with the logs.
5. Proper Operation of Optional Glass Doors
(fixed glass doors are required in
Massachusetts)
If you have decided to install optional doors on your
G136, please note the correct way to operate them.
While operating your appliance, you should either have
the doors completely open or completely closed, but
never partially open. See Figure 39.

WARNING!
Decorative gas appliances equipped with operable
glass doors should be operated only with doors
fully open or doors fully closed. If doors are left
partially open, gas and flame may be drawn out of
the appliance opening, creating risks of both fire
and smoke spillage.
