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
A.
Turn off the electrical power and the gas supply to the appliance.
B.
Open the lower louvre control door, the two side doors and the fire viewing door. Remove the logs.
C.
Remove the relief door assembly held on with 6 screws. Discard the gasket.
D.
Disconnect the two blower wires. Remove the heat shield then the blower bracket held on with 4 screws.
E.
Replace the blower using the existing bracket. When connecting the replacement blower, tighten the
screws without distorting the rubber grommets. Replace the blower bracket, heat shield and blower
assembly in the appliance.
F.
Reconnect the two wires. Hold the replacement gasket in place and reattach the relief door assembly.
Replace the logs. Close all doors.
G.
Turn the gas supply and electricity back on.
Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned on, it will automatically start approximately 15-30 minutes
after lighting the appliance and will run for approximately 30-45 minutes after the appliance has been turned off.
Use of the fan increases the output of heat.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings causing irreparable damage and must be prevented from
coming into contact with the blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting from this condition is not covered
by the warranty policy.
