INSPECTING THE VENTING
An inspection of both the inner and outer vent pipes and the vent terminal should be made as part of the annual
service appointment. The venting must have no blockage and be in good repair. The vent manufacturer’s
instructions may provide specific details on vent inspection. Any vent sections that are disassembled
must be reassembled and sealed as required.
This appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive dust or lint from carpeting, bedding materials,
pets, etc. It is imperative that control compartments and circulating air passageways of this
appliance be kept clean.
CLEANING THE LOGS, BURNER AND FIREBOX
During the annual inspection and maintenance appointment, the service person should clean the logs, embers,
burner and firebox. To gain access to the firebox, logs and burner, follow the instructions on page 14 of this
manual.
An extra-soft brush should be used to gently clean the logs, embers and burner as they are extremely fragile.
DO NOT USE A VACUUM CLEANER TO CLEAN THE LOGS, EMBERS OR BURNER.
A vacuum cleaner may be used to clean the metal parts of the firebox. Replace the logs and embers after
cleaning. Follow the instructions on pages 15 –17 of this manual to insure proper placement of the logs and
embers on the burner.
AIR FLOW
The FireLuxe utilizes a convection air heat exchange system to maximize heat delivered from the stove. It is
important that air flows freely through the convection air system and out the front and side air grills. Do not
place objects under the stove that will block the convection air inlet flow or in front of any air grill. If the optional
convection air blower is installed, check the blower during the annual service appointment for any build-up of
dust, lint or pet hair.
COOKING BURNER SYSTEM
As with any conventional range top, the FireLuxe cooking burner will require routine cleaning. The porcelain
enameled drip pan should contain most normal cooking spills. To clean, simply remove the cooking grate and
wipe the drip pan with a moist sponge or paper towel. Be sure that the stove is cool before cleaning. The
cooking grate also has a porcelain enamel finish for easy cleaning. We recommend handwashing, rather than
the dishwasher. Spills on the top of the stove should be wiped up immediately to prevent them from baking on.
OPTIONAL CONVECTION AIR BLOWER SYSTEM (Part No. 1-00-05895)
(For additional information, please see instructions included with the blower kit.)
CAUTION:
Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after
servicing.
WARNING:
Electrical Grounding Instructions. This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug for your protection against shock hazard and should
be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. Do not cut the grounding prong from this
plug.
Check the blower for any build-up of dust, lint, or pet hair
during the annual service appointment.
