CARE AND MAINTENANCE

LOG SET

• If you remove the log set for cleaning, refer to page 21, for placement instructions.

• Replace log set if broken or chipped (dime sized or larger).

CABINET

Air Passageways

Use a vacuum cleaner or pressurized air to clean.

Exterior

Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water mixture. Wipe the cabinet to remove dust.

1. Shut off unit including pilot. Allow unit to cool for at least 30 minutes.

2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet holes on orifice holder for dust and dirt (See Fig. 31).

3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.

4. Check the orifice holder located at the end of the burner tube again. Remove any large particles 

of dust, dirt, lint or pet hair with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.

5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the orifice holder.

6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.

Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot flame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot

assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about 2" from where the pilot flame comes out of the

pilot assembly (see Figure 32). With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole. You may 

blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not available.
