gasketing to ensure a proper seal.

Operation
Lighting Instructions
See pages 15 and 19.
Burner Adjustment
The HW38DF is equipped with an adjustable burner, allowing you to
raise or lower the flames. To adjust the flames, locate the black knob
marked 'Hi-Lo', in the centre of the gas control valve (See Figure 32).
The front burners are not adjustable.
■
To raise the flame height, turn the black knob (located behind the
lower trim)
counter-clockwise
.
■
To lower the flame height, turn
clockwise
.
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.
■
Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which is
a normal by-product of combustion) which may be visible. Film
can easily be removed by removing the door, as shown on page
15. 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 using normal household products.
■
Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control
compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
■
Logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot or
other contaminates.
Note:
HW38-DF-I
models (electronic ignition) do not feature hi/lo
adjustment.
