the burner should be removed and cleaned. Take extra caution not to block the pilot
assembly.
CAUTION:
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
GENERAL VENTING MAINTENANCE
An inspection of the venting system and its components should be conducted annually at
the following areas:
1. In areas where corrosion is a factor, the venting should be inspected
to ensure that rust holes or spots have not developed. In the case
where certain components have rusted, they should be replaced as
soon as possible.
2. Remove the vent terminal and using a bright flashlight look down the
flue and remove any foreign debris. Ensure that the combustion and
ventilation air flow passages are completely unobstructed.
3. Check for evidence of excessive condensation, such as water droplets
forming in the inner liner, and subsequently dripping out of the joints,
Continuous condensation can cause severe corrosion of vent caps,
pipes and fitting. It can be caused from having extended horizontal
runs, too many elbows, and exterior portions or the venting system
being exposed to severe weather conditions.
4. Visually inspect all joints and fittings to verify that none of them have
been disturbed, and consequently loosened. Also check mechanical
supports such as wall straps for structural integrity.
LOG REPLACEMENT
This appliance should never be operated with broken or damaged logs. If damaged
logs are observed, turn off the gas valve and allow the appliance to cool completely
prior to attempting to remove the glass door. Once allowed to cool, remove the broken
logs carefully.
NOTE: The pilot flames are intense enough to cause severe burns if
in close contact with skin or clothing. Extra caution should be taken when
performing this operation.
