prevent burner shutdown, sooting, odors, etc. It must be checked for clean burning operation and proper
pilot appearance, with the correct tools to service this unit. More frequent servicing may be required.
It is
imperative that all control components and compartments, burner(s), air shutters, and circulating air passageways
of the appliance be kept clean and free of all obstructions (as applicable).
In addition, a periodic examination and cleaning of the solid-fuel-burning fi replace venting system should be

Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating this appliance.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
If, after a period of use, the fl ames start to exhibit unusual shapes and behavior, or the burners fail to ignite
smoothly, the burner may require cleaning or servicing. If this happens, it is recommended to contact the nearest

We recommend following these instructions at the beginning of each fi replace season and as needed

frequent cleaning and maintenance may be necessary when burning propane gas than with natural gas.
