Inspect Burner Flame and Pilot Flame
Appearance
Periodically do a visual check of the burner
flame and the pilot flame. Ensure that the burner
flame appearance resembles the flame shown in
Figure 23, Page 14
and as described in Flame
Appearance and Sooting on
Page 14
.
Battery Replacement
NOTE:
All batteries loose voltage when frozen
or left for prolonged periods. It may be wise
to remove batteries during extended periods
of disuse.
Inspect Burner Assembly
The burner must be replaced prior to the ap-
pliance being put into operation if it is evident
that the burner is damaged (use only factory
original replacement burner).
Verify proper operation after servicing.
S'assurer que l'appareil fonctionne
adéquatement une fois l'entretien
terminé.
Perform a periodic visual check of pilot
and burner flame.
WARNING
•
Turn off gas and any electrical
power before servicing the appli-
ance.
•
Let fireplace completely cool
before cleaning.
•
Failure to keep the primary
air opening(s) of the burner(s)
clean may result in sooting and
property damage.
• Burner Flame Pattern - If yellow
tipping occurs, your fireplace
could produce increased levels
of carbon monoxide. Do not
mistake orange flames with
yellow tipping. Dirt or other fine
particles enter the fireplace and
burn causing brief patches of
orange flame.
CAUTION
You must keep control areas,
burner and circulating air pas-
sageways of fireplace clean.
Inspect these areas of fireplace
before each use. Have fireplace
inspected yearly by a qualified
service person.
IGNITER ASSEMBLY
The igniter assembly is factory preset for
proper ignition of the burner. Alterations may
have occurred during shipping and handling.
Call a qualified service person to readjust the
igniter assembly if necessary.
The igniter should be positioned as shown in
Figure 28
.
NOTE: Figure 28
, shows the correct positioning
of the igniter and sensing rod.
If your igniter assembly does not meet these
requirements:
• Turn appliance off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance,
Page 21
).
• See Troubleshooting,
Page 22.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
• When lit for the first time, this appliance will
emit a slight odor for an hour or two. This
is due to the “burn-in” of internal paints
and lubricants used in the manufacturing
process.
• Keep lower control compartment clean
by vacuuming or brushing at least twice
a year. More frequent cleaning may be
required due to excessive lint from carpet-
ing, bedding materials, etc. It is important
that control compartments, burners and
circulating air passageways of the appli-
ance be kept clean.
S'assurer que le brùleur et le compar-
timent des commandes sont propres.
Voir les instructions d'installation
et d'utilisation qui accompagnent
l'appareil.
• Keep the appliance area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
Maintenance
The appliance should be thoroughly inspected
before initial use and at least annually by a quali-
fied service technician. However, more frequent
periodic inspections and cleanings should be
performed by the homeowner. Homeowner
must contact a qualified service technician at
once if any abnormal condition is observed.
Refer to the maintenance schedule (
Page 23
) for
maintenance tasks, procedures, periodicity and
by whom they should be performed. Always verify
