appropriate, should be inspected every year. If the venting
is disassembled for any reason, it should be reassembled and
sealed according to the vent manufacturer’s instructions
provided at the initial installation.

SILICONE SEALANT.
Burner System
Periodically inspect the firebox, valve compartment
and convection airways.

FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR IS
UNOBSTRUCTED.
The valve compartment should be vacuumed regularly to
remove dust and debris. Vacuum more frequently if there
are pets in the home.
Use a soft brush attachment and handle log set components
carefully.
The pilot assembly and burner base should be inspected and
cleaned annually by a qualified technician. Replace any
component showing evidence of corrosion.
Glass and Gasket Inspection
It is important that the glass gasket be inspected at least
annually. Examine the ribbon gasket for signs of deterioration
and make sure the gasket has a positive seal. Replace the gasket if
necessary. Refer to the replacement parts list on page 39.

disengage them from the glass frame. Fig. 2.2, page 5.
3. Lift the glass frame up and off of the firebox.
4. The glass panel is held in place by four tabs at the frame
corners. Use a screwdriver or small pliers to pry these up just
enough to release the glass panel. See fig. 16.1, page 29.
5. Remove the old gasket material.
6. Wrap the new gasket material evenly around the edge of
the glass, peeling back the protective strip to expose the
adhesive as you go, leaving a 1/2” overlap at the top. Place
the adhesive side down onto the glass surface. Do not stretch
the gasket.
7. Place the gasketed glass within the frame and carefully bend
each of the corner retainer tabs back just enough to secure
the glass in the frame. The Replacement Glass kit includes
4 Tinnerman compression clips for use in case a tab should
break. The clips engage over the edge of the frame sides.
