Glass Front
Warning: Do not operate appliance with glass panel removed,
cracked or broken. Replacement of glass should be done by a
licensed or qualified service person.
Do not strike or otherwise impact the glass in anyway that may cause
it to break. If the glass becomes cracked or broken, it must be replaced
before using the fireplace. Replacement glass con be obtained from
your nearest Pacific Energy dealer. The size required is 12 9/16" x 19
5/8" x 5mm. Use ceramic glass only.
Do not substitute with any
other type.
To remove broken glass, remove the front window overlay to access
wing nuts at the bottom of the window frame. Undo wing nuts and
swing the bottom out to clear. Lift up and forward to disengage from
the top. Remove all particles of glass. Be careful as they are very
sharp. Install new glass complete with gasket. Replace frame and
overlay in reverse order.
Annual Inspection:
a) Clean air passage ways of excessive lint and dust build-up from
carpeting, bedding material, etc. The flow of ventilation air must not be
obstructed.
b) Remove glass panel and log set. Inspect logs and burner
assembly for lint and soot build-up. If excessive build-up of soot is
present, have a qualified service person inspect and adjust unit for
proper combustion. Clean logs and burner with a vacuum cleaner,
paying close attention to the ports on the burner.
c) Check the pilot system for proper flame size and operation. Clean
pilot free of lint and dust. (See Fig. #1)
d) Check that the vent pipe and vent terminal are open and free from
blockage or debris. If the venting system is disassembled for cleaning,
it must be properly assembled and resealed. Refer to VENTING
section for proper procedure.
e) Check glass panel gasket, replace if necessary. It is important that
the glass seal be maintained in good condition.

this appliance.
- do not clean glass when hot.

Important:
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit
a slight odour for a couple of hours. This is due to the curing
of paints, sealants and lubricants used in the manufacturing
process. This condition is temporary. Open doors and
windows to ventilate area. If optional fan kit has been
installed, place fan in the "OFF" position. Smoke and fumes
caused by the curing process may cause discomfort to some
individuals.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some
expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or cool
down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat
exchanger or cook stove oven.
