CAUTIONS
n
Fireplace gas control must be in the “OFF” position and pilot
and main burners extinguished when cleaning appliance
with a vacuum.
n
Doors and logs can get very hot. Handle only when cool.
General
n
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 28.
n
For Natural Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet
pressure of 5.5" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C.
n
For Propane Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet
pressure of 11" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.
n
Always keep the fireplace area clear and free of combustible
materials, as well as gasoline and other flammable vapours and
liquids.
n
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately 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.
Operation
Lighting Instructions
See pages 14 and 15.
Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking
and a visible film may be left on the glass. This is a normal
condition, and is the result of burning of protective coatings on new
metal.
n
Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which is
a normal biproduct of combustion) which may be visible. Film
can easily be removed by removing the door, as shown on
page 13. Handle the door carefully, and clean it with non-
abrasive glass cleaners. One of the most effective products is
Kel Kem.
n
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 using normal
household products.
n
Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control
compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
n
Logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove
soot or other contaminates. The logs are fragile and will break
easily.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to clean glass when hot.
Do not clean glass with abrasive materials as any glass
etching may cause premature glass failure.
Adjusting the Burner
