General
Have the fireplace and installation inspected yearly
. The
inspection must include, but is not limited to, the following:
•
A visual check of the entire vent system and termination.
•
An inspection of the explosion relief flappers and the door
gaskets to ensure a proper seal.
•
An inspection of the burner, vent run, and primary air openings.
•
An inspection of the gas valve, gas components, and pilot
flame. For your convenience a 1/8" manifold pressure tap is
supplied on the gas valve for a test gauge connection.
•
Ensure proper log placement as per this manual.
•
Inspection of all optional equipment; fans, thermostats, etc.
For
natural Gas
this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure
of 5.5" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C.
For
Propane Gas
this appliance requires a minimum inlet
pressure of 11" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.
Always keep the fireplace area clear and free of combustible
materials, as well as gasoline and other flammable vapours
and liquids.
Do not use this appliance if
any part has been under water
.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking and
a visible film may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition, and is
the result of burning of protective coatings on new metal.
Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which is
a normal by-product of combustion) which may be visible. Film
can easily be removed by removing the door, as shown on
Page
20
. Handle the door carefully, and clean it with non-abrasive
glass cleaners. One of the most effective products is Kel Kem.
Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas",
leaving a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion
chamber walls. This can easily be removed using normal
household products.
Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control
compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
Logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot
or other contaminates.
Burner Adjustment
The
H-Series VOST
is equipped with an adjustable burner, allowing
you to raise or lower the flames. To adjust the flames, locate the black
knob marked 'Hi-Lo', in the centre of the gas control valve (See Figure
11). The front burners are not adjustable.
To raise the flame height, turn the black knob (located behind the
lower trim)
counterclockwise
.
To lower the flame height, turn
clockwise
.
