SP28-F2 Modular Series Fireplace
Maintenance
General
n
Have the fireplace installation inspected yearly, 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. See Figure 24a, 24b, and 24c.
n
For Natural Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure of
5.5" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C.
n
For Propane Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure
of 11" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.
n
Always keep the fireplace area clear and free of combustible
materials, as well as gasoline and other flammable vapours and
liquids.
n
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.
CAUTION
n
Fireplace gas control must be in the “OFF” position and pilot and
main burners extinguished when cleaning appliance with a
vacuum.
n
Glass and logs can get very hot. Handle only when cool.
Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking and a
visible film may be left on the glass doors. This is a normal condition, and
is the result of burning the protective coatings on new metal.
n
Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (a normal bi-
product of combustion) which may be visible. Handle the door
carefully, and clean it with non-abrasive glass cleaners. One of the
most effective products is Kel Kem.
n
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 by following the steps described above.
n
Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control
compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
n
Logs may be cleaned periodically to remove soot.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to clean glass when hot.
Do not clean glass with abrasive materials as any glass etching
may cause premature glass failure.
