3.
Keep lower control compartment clean by
vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materials,
etc. It is important that control compartments,
burners and circulating air passageways of the
appliance be kept clean.
4.
Always turn off gas to the pilot (millivolt
appliances) before cleaning. Before re-light-
ing, refer to the lighting instructions in this
manual. Instructions are also found on a pull-
out panel located on the floor of the appliance.
5.
Always keep the appliance area clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable liquids.
6.
Remember, these appliances have a con-
tinuous burning pilot flame. Exercise caution
when using products with combustible vapors.
Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal
and Installation.
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE AP-
PLIANCE WITHOUT THE FRONT GLASS
ENCLOSURE PANEL IN PLACE AND SE-
CURE. DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE
WITH FRONT GLASS CRACKED, BRO-
KEN OR MISSING. REPLACEMENT
MUST BE DONE BY A LICENSED OR
QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
These are direct-vent appliances. They are
designed to operate only when the front glass
enclosure panel is installed. Generally the
front glass enclosure panel should not be
removed except to gain access to the compo-
nents within the firebox, and the appliance
may only be operated without the front glass
enclosure panel in place for very brief periods
of time during appliance checkout and adjust-
ment. Be sure that the flame appearance will
be diminished while the front glass enclosure
panel is removed.
Glass Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodi-
cally. During start-up it is normal for conden-
sation to form on the inside of the glass. This
can cause lint, dust and other airborne par-
ticles to cling to the glass surface. Also initial
paint curing may deposit a slight film on the
glass. It is therefore recommended that the
glass be cleaned two or three times with a non-
ammonia household cleaner and warm water
(a gas fireplace glass cleaner is recommended).
After that the glass should be cleaned two or
three times during each heating season, de-
pending on the circumstances present.
Note:
Clean glass after first two weeks of
operation.

Maintenance
The appliance and venting system should be
thoroughly inspected before initial use and at
least annually by a qualified service techni-
cian. However, more frequent periodic inspec-
tions and cleanings should be performed by
the homeowner.
Homeowner must contact a
qualified service technician at once if any
abnormal condition is observed.
Refer to the maintenance schedule for mainte-
nance tasks, procedures, periodicity and by whom
they should be performed. Always verify proper
operation of the appliance after servicing.
IMPORTANT: TURN OFF GAS AND ANY ELEC-
TRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE
APPLIANCE.
WARNING: HANDLE THE GLASS WITH
EXTREME CARE! TEMPERED GLASS IS
SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE (SCRATCHES,
FOR EXAMPLE) – HANDLE GLASS DOORS
(GLASS ENCLOSURE PANELS) GENTLY
WHILE REINSTALLING THEM.
