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.
