NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
Maintenance
The appliance and venting system should be
thoroughly inspected before initial use and at
least annually by a qualified service techni-
cian. However, more frequent periodic inspec-
tions and cleanings should be performed by
the homeowner.
Homeowner must contact a
qualified service technician at once if any
abnormal condition is observed.
Refer to the maintenance schedule for mainte-
nance tasks, procedures, periodicity and by whom
they should be performed. Always verify proper
operation of the appliance after servicing.
IMPORTANT: TURN OFF GAS AND ANY
ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING
THE APPLIANCE.
3.
Keep lower control compartment clean by
vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materi-
als, etc. It is important that control compart-
ments, burners and circulating air passage-
ways of the appliance be kept clean and clear
of obstruction of venting and combustion air.
4.
Always turn off gas to the pilot (millivolt
appliances) before cleaning. Before re-light-
ing, refer to the lighting instructions in this
manual. Instructions are also found on a pull-
out panel located on the floor of the appliance.
5.
Always keep the appliance area clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable liquids.
6.
Remember, Millivolt appliances have a con-
tinuous burning pilot flame. Exercise caution
when using products with combustible vapors.
Glass Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodi-
cally. During start-up it is normal for conden-
sation to form on the inside of the glass. This
can cause lint, dust and other airborne par-
ticles to cling to the glass surface. Also initial
paint curing may deposit a slight film on the
glass. It is therefore recommended that the
glass be cleaned two or three times with a non-
ammonia household cleaner and warm water
(a gas fireplace glass cleaner is recommended).
After that the glass should be cleaned two or
three times during each heating season, de-
pending on the circumstances present.
Note:
Clean glass after first two weeks of
operation.
WARNING: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE
CLEANERS. NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS
WHEN IT IS HOT.
Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal
and Installation
These are direct-vent appliances. They are de-
signed to operate only when the front glass
enclosure panel is installed. Generally the front
glass enclosure panel should not be removed
except to gain access to the components within
the firebox, and the appliance may only be oper-
ated without the front glass enclosure panel in
place for very brief periods of time during appli-
ance checkout and adjustment.
During this appliance checkout and adjust-
ment period, a potential safety hazard exists
- EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION to prevent
the occurrence of any burn injuries from the
exposed flames or hot surfaces.
Also note, that while the front glass enclosure
panel is removed, the flame appearance will
appear to be smaller than normal.
Refer to
Figure 4
and remove the front glass
enclosure panel as follows:
1.
Remove the top bustle, and the top louver
assembly or radiant panel.
3.
Remove the bottom compartment door by
sliding the hinge pin, located at the door’s left
side, to the right until it disengages from the left
corner post hole. Pull the door diagonally to the
left, away from the fireplace.
4.
Locate the two (2) latches at the top of the
control compartment and disengage them from
the floor frame bottom Vee-flange, pulling
down on their handles to open them.
5.
Swing the bottom of the door out and raise
it slightly to lift the top flange of the door frame
away from the appliance.
2.
Remove the bottom bustle, and open the
hinged drop-down control compartment panel.
