Maintenance
Once installed and operating properly, the Mason-lite gas
appliance requires very little maintenance.
You should inspect the appliance, chimney, burner and control
annually for the following:
1. Excessive Sooting
- Some sooting of the logs is normal
and adds to the natural appearance of burned wood. If soot
accumulates, you may brush the soot off with a stiff brush.
Logs may also be cleaned by allowing them to heat up, then
spraying them with water where soot has accumulated.
2. Debris around the control
- Inspect the control and pilot to
be sure it is free of any dirt or debris.
3. Insects and burner blockage
- Check the burner ports
and the air-mixer, if present, to make sure they are free
from debris. Blocked burner ports and orifices may
result in poor flame distribution or flame at air mixer (if
equipped). Reference SOLUTION, to symptoms 2-4, of
