Due to the high temperature that the hinges experience, wet lubricants such as oil and WD40 will cause the
hinges to seize and are therefore not suitable. Lubricate with a high temperature dry graphite, only.

WARNING
• Turn off the gas and electrical power before servicing the appliance.
• Appliance may be hot. Do not service until appliance has cooled.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass.
• Do not paint the pilot assembly.
This appliance and its venting system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualifi ed
service person. The following suggested checks should be performed by a qualifi ed technician. The appliance
area must be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline, or other fl ammable vapors and liquids.
The fl ow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
1.
In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, remove the logs, rocks and/or glass to ex-
pose both assemblies.
2.
Keep the control compartment, media, burner, air shutter opening and the area surrounding the appli-
ance clean by vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.
3.
Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which may not be burning
or are not burning properly.
4.
Check to see that the pilot fl ame is large enough to engulf the fl ame sensor and/or thermocouple /
thermopile as well as it reaches the burner.
5.
If your appliance is equipped with a safety barrier, cleaning may be necessary due to excessive lint /
dust from carpeting, pets, etc. simply vacuum using the brush attachment.
6.
If your appliance is equipped with relief doors, ensure the system performs effectively. Check that the
gasket is not worn or damaged. Replace if necessary.
7.
Replace the cleaned logs, rocks or glass. Failure to properly position the media may cause carboning
which can be distributed in the surrounding living area, inside the fi rebox and on exterior surfaces sur-
rounding vent termination.
8.
Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all ports when turned on. A 5 to 10 second
total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your local authorized dealer / dis-
tributor.
9.
Visually inspect the appliance for carbon build up. Using a small whisk or brush, brush off the carbon
and vacuum up or sweep into garbage.
10.
This step is not applicable for Vent Free appliances:
Check to see that the appliance is vent-
ing correctly. Ensure chimney system is safe and unobstructed. (If for any reason the vent air intake
system is disassembled, re-install and re-seal per the instructions provided for the initial installation).
Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

WARNING
• This appliance will require maintenance which should be planned on an annual basis.
• Service should include cleaning, battery replacement, venting inspection and inspection of the burner,
media, and fi rebox. Refer to the door removal section and remove the door as instructed.
• Carefully remove media if necessary (logs, glass, brick panels, etc.).
• Using a vacuum with soft brush attachment, gently remove any dirt, debris, or carbon build up from the
logs, fi rebox, and burner. For glass media, follow the installation instructions for pre-cleaning.
• Gently remove any build-up on the pilot assembly including thermopile, thermocouple, fl ame sensor, and
igniter (if equipped).
• Inspect all accessible gaskets and replace as required.
• If equipped with a blower, access the blower and clean using a soft brush and vacuum.
• Re-assemble the various components in reverse order.
• Inspect the relief system. The appliance relieves through the main glass door or through the fl aps on the
fi rebox top. Ensure they open freely, and close sealed.
• Check the gas control valve pilot and Hi / Lo knobs move freely, if equipped. Replace if any stiffness in
movement is experienced.
• Check for gas leaks on all gas connections up and downstream from the gas valve including pilot tube
connections.
Clean fl ame sensor using a fi ne emery cloth or a synthetic scrub pad (such as Scotch-Brite™) to remove any
oxides. Clean the pilot assembly using a vacuum with a soft brush attachment. It is important that the pilot
assembly is not painted.
note:
• Annual maintenance should be performed by a qualifi ed service technician
• The fi rebox becomes very hot during operation. Let the appliance cool completely or wear heat resistant
gloves before conducting service.
• Never vacuum hot embers.
• Do not paint the pilot assembly
