Maintenance

    Once installed and operating properly, the Burntech®  gas 

fireplace requires very little maintenance.

  You should inspect the fireplace, chimney, burner and control 

annually for the following:

Excessive Sooting

 - Some sooting of the logs is normal 

and adds to the natural appearance of burned wood. If soot 

accumulates, you may brush the soot off with a stiff brush. 

Logs may also be cleaned by allowing them to heat up, then 

spraying them with water where soot has accumulated.

Debris around the control

 - Inspect the control and pilot to 

be sure it is free of any dirt or debris.

Insects  and  burner  blockage 

-  Check  the  burner  ports 

and  the  air-mixer,  if  present,  to  make  sure  they  are  free 

from  debris.  Blocked  burner  ports  and  orifices  may 

result  in  poor  flame  distribution  or  flame  at  air  mixer  (if 

equipped).  Reference  SOLUTION,  to  symptoms  2-4,  of

Service

It  is  recommended  that  a  qualified  professional  service 

technician be called to service the gas fireplace and its venting 

system at least annually or should service be required. More 

frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from 

carpeting, bedding material, etc.

It  is  imperative  that  control  compartments,  burners  and 

circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.

The Troubleshooting section of these instructions serves as a 

guide for ensuring optimum performance of the gas fireplace.

Flame Appearance

The flames should be blue at the base and a combination of 

blue/yellow at the body and tips.
