CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off burner
system and let cool before
cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep con-
trol areas, burners, and circulat-
ing air passageways of burner
system and stove clean. Inspect
these areas of burner system and
stove before each use. Have
burner system and stove in-
spected yearly by a qualified ser-
vice person. Burner system and
stove may need more frequent
cleaning due to excessive lint from
carpeting, bedding material, pet
hair, etc.
WARNING: Do not use abra-
sive cleaners as this may damage
glass. Use a nonabrasive house-
hold glass cleaner to clean glass.
Do not clean glass when hot.
WARNING: Handle glass door
panel with care. Do not strike,
slam, or otherwise abuse glass.
Do not operate burner system
with the glass door removed,
cracked, or broken.
GLASS DOOR
Glass must be cleaned periodically. During
start-up it is normal for condensation to
form on the inside of the glass causing lint,
dust, and other airborne particles to cling to
the glass surface. During initial start-up a
slight film may form on the glass due to
paint curing. The glass should be cleaned
several times with a non-ammonia, non-
abrasive household cleaner and warm water
after the first two weeks of operation. There-
after, clean the glass two or three times
during each heating season, depending on
the usage and circumstances present. Refer
to Removing/Replacing Glass Door on page
23 of this manual when removing glass door
for cleaning.
PILOT AND BURNERS
• Remove ember material before cleaning
burners and replace when cleaning is
complete.
• Burner and controls should be cleaned
with compressed air to remove dust, dirt,
or lint.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft
bristled brush to remove excess dust, dirt,
or lint.
WARNING: Only parts sup-
plied by the manufacturer should
be used when replacing broken
or damaged glass door panel (see
Replacement Parts, page 32). This
glass door panel is a complete
unit. No substitute materials may
be used.
If glass has been broken, carefully remove
glass door (see Removing/Replacing Glass
Door, page 23). Vacuum all glass pieces
with a shop vac.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and
safety glasses while handling or
removing broken glass. Do not
remove if glass is hot. Keep chil-
dren and pets away from glass.
WARNING: Do not operate
burner system with the glass door
removed, cracked, or broken.
Use only the ceramic glass door replace-
ment intended for this burner system (see
Replacement Parts, page 32 for detail on
ordering). No substitutions may be made.
See Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page
23 for instructions for replacing glass door.
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if
pieces are hot.
LOGS
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to
Installing Logs, Lava Rock, and Glowing
Embers, page 24, to properly replace logs.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any car-
bon buildup on logs.
• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replace-
ment Parts on page 32.
• Replace ember material periodically as
needed. See Replacement Parts on page 32.
VENTING SYSTEM
Conduct annual inspection of the venting
system following these guidelines:
1.
Check areas of venting system that are
exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust
spots or streaks and, in extreme cases,
holes). Have these items replaced imme-
diately by a qualified service person.
2.
Remove the vent cap and shine a flash-
light into the vent. Remove any foreign
material.
3.
Check for evidence of excessive con-
densation. Continuous condensation
can cause corrosion of caps, pipes, and
fittings and can be caused by having
excessive lateral runs, too many el-
bows, or exterior portions of the sys-
tem being exposed to cold weather.
4.
Inspect joints to verify that no pipe sec-
tion or fitting has been disturbed and
loosened. Check mechanical supports
such as wall straps for rigidity.
