Section 11: Cleaning and Maintenance
General
•
Have the fireplace installation inspected annually, including a visual
check of the vent system, the burner and the pilot flame. For your
convenience, a 1/8" manifold pressure tap is supplied on the gas
valve for a test gauge connection.
• For Natural Gas, this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure
of 5.5" wc, and a manifold pressure of 3.5" wc.
• For Propane, this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure of
11" wc, and a manifold pressure of 10" wc.
•
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 smoke 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. Handle the door
carefully, and clean it with non-abrasive, non-ammonia based
glass cleaners. One of the most effective products is Kel-Kem.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control
compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
Do not use ammonia or abrasive cleaners on the glass, they will
permanently etch the surface. Use an approved gas fireplace cleaner
such as Kel-Kem or White Off.
Fireplace gas control must be in the “OFF” position and all burners
extinguished when cleaning appliance. Doors can get very hot. Handle
only when cool.
