WARNING
Turn off gas before servicing fireplace. It is recommended that a qualified service technician perform these
check-ups at the beginning of each heating season.
The appliance area must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
Burner, Pilot and Control Compartment:
Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least
twice a year. Make sure the pilot air intake is free of obstructions at all time.
Standing-Pilot Flame Only :
Figure 23: Pilot Flame Appearance
Burner Flame:
The flames from the burner should be visually checked as soon as the heater is installed and periodically during
normal operation. In normal operation, at full rate, and after approximately 15-30 minutes, the flame appearance in
Figure 24: Burner Flame Appearance should be observed.
NOTE
The type of installation, vent system configuration, and wind effects may cause the flame patterns to vary.
