YEARLY SERVICING PROCEDURES
WARNING!
Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace may lead to improper com-
bustion and apotentially dangerous situation. The following procedures are rec-
ommended to be completed by a qualified technician once per year, preferably
prior to the burning season.
1. Check the pilot flame. It should engulf approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and
engulf the top of the thermocouple (see illustration on page 54).
2. Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the valve control knob to “OFF” (see step A under
“Starting the Pilot” on page 55). Allow the fireplace to cool for 15 minutes. Remove the
fascia and glass.
3. Remove the log set (
NOTE: the logs are extremely fragile ceramic
. If any log is cracked
or deteriorated, replace it when reinstalling. Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of
soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting is found, the fireplace will
require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4. Clean the burner pan (especially in the burner holes and slots) and inspect the following:
a. Check for burner pan holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded.
b. Make sure the burner pan assembly fits flat against the floor of the firebox.
c. Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage. If
any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
5. Reinstall the log set. Reinstall the glass (if the glass is damaged, contact your dealer for a
replacement) Make sure the gasket along the perimeter of the glass contacts the face of
the firebox and forms an airtight seal. If it does not, realign or replace the gasket to insure
an airtight seal. Reinstall the fascia.
6. Inspect the area behind the access door. Check the gas control valve and all of the gas
lines. If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
7. Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not
touch the top of the firebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your
dealer for service. Monitor the blower operation.
8. Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination, ensuring that the flow of com-
bustion and ventilation air is not obstructed. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deteriora-
tion is found near the vent termination.
