MAINTENANCE
INSPECTING THE VENTING
An inspection of both the inner and outer vent pipes and the vent terminal should be made as part of the an-
nual service appointment. The venting must have no blockage and be in good repair. The vent manufac-
turer’s instructions may provide specific details on vent inspection. Any vent sections that are disassem-
bled must be reassembled and sealed as required
.
This appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive dust or lint from carpeting, bedding mate-
rials, pets, etc. It is imperative that control compartments and circulating air passageways of this
appliance be kept clean.
CLEANING THE LOGS, BURNER AND FIREBOX
During the annual inspection and maintenance appointment, the service person should clean the logs, burner
and firebox. To gain access to the firebox, logs and burner, follow the instructions beginning on page 14 of
this manual.
An extra-soft brush should be used to gently clean the logs and burner as they are extremely fragile. DO
NOT USE A VACUUM CLEANER TO CLEAN THE LOGS OR BURNER.
A vacuum cleaner may be used to clean the metal parts of the firebox. Replace the logs and embers after
cleaning. Follow the instructions on pages 15-16 of this manual to insure proper placement of the logs and
ember chunk on the burner.
AIR FLOW
The GABO utilizes a convection air heat exchange system to maximize heat delivered from the stove. It is
important that air flows freely through the convection air system and out the front and side air grills. Do
not place objects under the stove that will block the convection air inlet flow or in front of any air outlet.
