• Carefully remove media if necessary (logs, glass, brick panels, etc.).
• Using a vacuum with soft brush attachment, gently remove any dirt, debris, or carbon build up from the
logs, fi rebox, and burner. For glass media, follow the installation instructions for pre-cleaning.
• Gently remove any build-up on the pilot assembly including thermopile, thermocouple, fl ame sensor, and
igniter (if equipped).

6.2 extreme cold lighting instructions
In order to overcome the dense cold air that can build up in the venting system during extreme cold conditions, we
recommend turning on and off your appliance on the low flame setting and with the split flow function for the rear
burner turned off. Once the appliance has operated for a minimum of 5 to 10 minutes on low, typically the flame
can then be increased to the high setting and the rear burner (split flow function) can be turned on. This will help
to avoid unnecessary shutdowns while the insert is warming up and trying to overcome the cold air block in the
venting system.
