EC Plus-4 Series B-Vent
®
Part No. XG0303C
Maintenance
General
. Have.the.fireplace.installation.inspected.yearly,.including.a.visual.
check.of.the.vent.system,.the.burner.and.the.pilot.flame..For.your.
convenience.a.1/8".manifold.pressure.tap.is.supplied.on.the.gas.
valve.for.a.test.gauge.connection..See.Figure.10a.and.10b...
. For.
Natural Gas
.this.appliance.requires.a.minimum.inlet.pressure.
of.5.5".W.C..and.a.manifold.pressure.of.3.5".W.C.
. For.
Propane Gas
this.appliance.requires.a.minimum.inlet.pres-
sure.of..11".W.C..and.a.manifold.pressure.of.10".W.C.
. Always.keep.the.fireplace.area.clear.and.free.of.combustible.
materials,.as.well.as.gasoline.and.other.flammable.vapours.and.
liquids..
. Do.not.use.this.appliance.if.any.part.has.been.under.water..Imme-
diately.call.a.qualified.service.technician.to.inspect.the.appliance.
and.to.replace.any.part.of.the.control.system.and.any.gas.control.
which.has.been.under.water.
CAUTION
•
.
Fireplace.gas.control.must.be.in.the.“OFF”.position.and.pilot.
and.main.burners.extinguished.when.cleaning.appliance.with.
a.vacuum..
•. Glass.and.logs.can.get.very.hot..Handle.only.when.cool.
Cleaning
When.the.fireplace.is.first.activated,.there.may.be.some.smoking.and.
a.visible.film.may.be.left.on.the.glass.doors..This.is.a.normal.condi-
tion,.and.is.the.result.of.burning.the.protective.coatings.on.new.metal.
. Glass.must.be.cleaned.periodically.to.remove.any.film.(a.normal.
bi-product.of.combustion).which.may.be.visible..Handle.the.door.
carefully,.and.clean.it.with.non-abrasive.glass.cleaners..One.of.
the.most.effective.products.is.Kel.Kem.
. Silicone.seals.on.inner.door.during.initial.firing.will."off.gas",.
leaving.a.visual.deposit.of.a.white.substance.on.combustion.
chamber.walls..This.can.easily.be.removed.by.following.the.steps.
described.above.
. Use.a.vacuum.cleaner.or.whisk.broom.to.keep.the.control.com-
partment,.burner,.and.firebox.free.from.dust.and.lint....
. Logs.may.be.cleaned.periodically.to.remove.soot.
WARNING:
Do.not.attempt.to.clean.glass.when.hot.
Do.not.clean.glass.with.abrasive.materials.as.any.glass.etch-
ing.may.cause.premature.glass.failure..
