For relighting, refer to lighting instructions.
Keep the burner and control compartment
clean by brushing and vacuuming at least
once a year.

Clean appliance and door with a damp
cloth (never when unit is hot). Never use
an abrasive cleaner. The glass should be
cleaned with a gas fireplace glass cleaner.
The glass should be cleaned when it
starts looking cloudy.

Paint - Metallic Black #6309.
Note: Faceplates and inner panels made
from stainless steel will naturally
change color over time.
4)
Make a periodic check of burner for proper
position and condition. Visually check the
flame of the burner periodically, making sure
the flames are steady; not lifting or floating.
If there is a problem, call a qualified service
person.
5)
The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually,
by a qualified field service person, to ensure
that the flow of combustion and ventilation
air is not obstructed.
Note: Never operate the appliance without
the glass properly secured in place.
6)
Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the appliance
and to replace any part of the control system
and any gas control which has been under
water.

serviced check that the vent-air system
has been properly resealed & reinstalled
in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.

Verify operation after servicing.
GLASS GASKET

tadpole glass gasket (Part # 936-159).
GENERAL VENT
MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting system
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:
1)
Check the Venting System for corrosion in
areas that are exposed to the elements.
These will appear as rust spots or
streaks, and in extreme cases, holes.
These components should be replaced
immediately.
2)
Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight
down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or
other foreign material.
3)
Check for evidences of excessive
condensation, such as water droplets forming
in the inner liner, and subsequently dripping
out the joints, Continuous condensation can
cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fittings. It
may be caused by having excessive lateral
runs, too many elbows, and exterior portions
of the system being exposed to cold weather.
4)
Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe
sections or fittings have been disturbed,
and consequently loosened. Also check
mechanical supports such as Wall Straps,
or plumbers' tape for rigidity.
THERMOPILE /
THERMOCOUPLE
1)
Remove the valve tray by following the
procedures from "Valve Tray Replacement"
section.
2)
Disconnect thermocouple by loosening
nut from the valve with a 9mm wrench.
Disconnect thermopile by loosening 2
screws marked TP on the valve.
3)
Remove 2 screws from the pilot assembly
and pull up far enough to be able to loosen
the thermocouple or thermopile with a 7/16"
wrench. NOTE: the pilot line is very fragile,
use caution when pulling it up.
4)
Drop the thermocouple or thermopile down
through the extrusion and pull it out of the
unit.
5)
Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.
CAUTION: Wear gloves when
removing damaged or broken
