FIREPLACE MAINTENANCE
1. The fireplace should be inspected and cleaned before first use at the beginning of each season by a qualified field
service person.
2. Any component that is found faulty must be replaced with an approved component.
3. Any tampering with or modifying the fireplace is dangerous and voids all warranties.
4. During winter months in cold climates and various seasons operation the fireplace may be affected by weather
conditions. It is recommended to use a weather proof cover overtop for your fireplace to protect it from humid/rainy
weather conditions when not in use. Heavy rains/downpours could affect the fireplace operation if not covered; if this
occurs ensure you allow the fireplace time to dry out before attempting to operate.
NOTE
: If a combustible type cover
is used over the fireplace when not in use be sure to remove it before operation to prevent a severe safety hazard.
5. Carbon (soot) may build up on the metal interior during heavy use and sooting may also occur periodically
under the pilot cover. Do the following: To clean, mix several drops of dish washing liquid into a bucket of hot water.
The dish soap assists in breaking up the soot and removing it from the metal.
CAUTION:
Ensure fireplace is cool to
touch and gas is turned OFF before cleaning.
A. Dip a scrubbing sponge into the soapy water and wipe it back and forth over the soot deposits. This breaks off
the majority of the soot from the metallic surface.
B. Spray any remaining soot deposits with a combination of warm water and white vinegar mixed in a spray bottle
in a half-and-half solution. White vinegar is slightly acidic and this helps break up the soot and cleans the metal
effectively.
C. Run a nylon scrub brush against any stubborn soot to remove it from the metal. Avoid using a metal scrub
brush since this can result in scratching.
D. Buff the metal with a damp rag to remove any remaining soap or vinegar and then dry it with a dry rag.
6. Over time stainless steel parts can discolor when heated, usually a golden or brown hue. This discoloration is normal
and does not affect the performance of the appliance.
7. LED lights can get dirty over time and may require cleaning.
A. Remove the glass windshield.
B. Use a Q-tip dipped in alcohol to gently wipe the top of the LED lights. Careful not to puncture the light strip.
C. Replace the glass windshield.
