Maintenance
Turn off gas and electrical power supply and allow ample time for the fireplace to cool before servicing.
It is recommended that the fireplace and its venting be inspected at least once a year by a qualified
service person.
Glass Door:
Warning: Do not operate fireplace with glass door removed, cracked or broken.
Replacement of the glass door should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
Check glass panel gasket, replace if necessary. It is important that the glass seal be maintained
in good condition.
Do not strike or otherwise impact the glass in any way that may cause it to break. If the glass becomes
cracked or broken it must be replaced before using the fireplace. Replacement glass can be obtained
from your nearest Pacific Energy dealer. The fireplace uses Ceramic Glass. Do not substitute with any
other type. To remove broken glass, remove Door as noted in Glass Door Removal section in this manual.
Annual Inspection:
•
Remove Safety Screen and Glass Door and decorative burner media (such as logs and rocks). Inspect
decorative media and burner assemblies for soot buildup. If excessive buildup of soot is present,
have a qualified service person inspect and adjust unit for proper combustion. Clean burners with a
brush or vacuum cleaner, paying close attention to burner ports.
•
Vacuum and clean any debris in the firebox that is not supposed to be there.
•
Check the pilot system for proper flame size and operation. See Figure 25. Clean pilot free of soot,
dust or any other deposits. Inspect and ensure the lighting of the main burner occurs within 4 seconds
of the main gas valve opening. Inspect primary air openings for blockage.
•
Test and measure the flame failure response time of the flame safety system. It must de-energize
the safety shutoff in no more than 30 seconds.
•
The venting system should be inspected once a year by a qualified agency. Check that the vent
pipe and vent terminal are open and free from blockage or debris. If the venting is disassembled
for cleaning, it must be properly assembled and re-sealed. Refer to VENTING section for proper
procedure.
•
Inspect and operate the pressure relief mechanism to verify relief mechanisms are free from obstruction
to operate.
•
Check all accessible gas-carrying tubes, connections, pipes and other components for leaks.
•
Check and replace batteries as needed.
Note: The appliance area must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
