Vented Gas Log Appliance User’s Manual
Care and Maintenance (cont.)
Note:
Only a qualified service person should clean the venting system and the solid fuel-burning fireplace.
At the beginning of each season, check the system as follows:
1. Check the chimney flue/vent pipe to ensure that the flue is drawing properly. This also checks if the vent
pipe connections are tight.
2. Check that the chimney/vent termination has no blockages.
3. Check the chimney and/or vents for creosote and soot build-up. Clean if necessary.
4. If applicable, inspect the burners and pilot.
The burner system has been previously adjusted for proper operation at the factory. No adjustment is nec-
essary, other than altitude de-rating or pilot flame. De-rating for altitude should be performed by a qualified
service person.
SOOTING AND CLEANING LOGS
Some sooting of the appliance is normal, which adds to the appearance of real burned wood. If excessive
sooting occurs and accumulates, the logs can be cleaned using either of the following options:
A. Spray the logs with clean water while they are hot and burning. The soot will burn and lift off.
B. Brush the soot off with a stiff brush while the logs are cool. While using a brush, do not use water or soot cleaners.

NOTE:
Moisture may cause the granules and Glowing Embers in your burner pan to settle. To return the
flame to its original condition and improve the burn, follow these tips:
A.
Settling of Vermiculite:
With a screwdriver or flat-blade knife, carefully stir the granules to loosen the
material. Clean any spills.
B.
Embers:
Break up any clumps. Inspect the control and pilot to be sure they are clear of dirt, lint, or other debris.
Safety Pilot/LP Conversion Kit (REM-LPK100A)
Required for propane/LP installation.
Vermiculite (REM-VER100A)
Helps spread gas evenly throughout
the burner pan, creating a fuller flame
pattern. Also doubles as an ash bed.
Lava Rock (REM-LAV100A)
Adds to the appliance’s realism by creat-
ing a realistic-looking rock bed for vented
or vent-free gas logs. Can be used as a
replacement or for first-time use.
Glowing Ember Fibers (REM-GLW100A)
Imitates a glowing bed of ashes found in
a wood-burning fire, which adds to the
realism of the appliance.
