SERVICE INFORMATION
Fireplace Maintenance
1) Before performing any service on the appliance,
ensure the gas has been completely shut off, the unit
cooled, and the electricity shut off to the appliance.
2) The burner and valve control compartments must
be cleaned annually. A vacuum with a brush
attachment works well. The logs should be cleaned
gently with a soft bristle brush. The logs are fragile
and are easily damaged.
3) Clean the appliance with a damp cloth. Never use
abrasive cleaners. The glass should be cleaned with
a gas fireplace glass cleaner. The glass will slowly
build a thin white film on the inside. This film is
normal and can be removed using a fireplace glass
cleaner available at your local dealer.

paint. If your fireplace needs to be repainted or
touched up contact your local dealer for StoveBright

inspected before use, and at least annually, by a
qualified field technician. The vent must be
inspected to ensure that the flow of combustion air

water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the appliance and to replace

it must be properly resealed as per the instructions
in the venting section of this manual. Never operate
