BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Burner fl ames will be steady, not lifting or fl oating. Flames should go
up through the middle of log set. Flames should not "spill" to edges
of pan or sides of log set.
Figure 39
shows a typical fl ame pattern. If burner fl ame pattern dif-
fers from that described:
• turn appliance off
(see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance,
Page 18
)
• see Troubleshooting,
Page 21
Periodically check pilot fl ame pattern and burner fl ame patterns often.
PILOT ASSEMBLY
The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper fl ame height.
Alterations may have occurred during shipping and handling. The
pilot is located on the back right hand side of the burner.
The height of the thermopile must be 3/8" to 1/2" above the pilot fl ame.
The fl ame from the pilot burner must extend beyond the thermopile.
If your pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:
• Turn adjustment screw marked pilot clockwise to decrease or
counterclockwise to increase the fl ame to proper size
(see
Figure
36, Page 18
)
. Do not remove adjustment screw.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Installation and repair should be done
by a qualifi ed service person. The appliance should
be inspected before each use and at least annually
by a qualifi ed service person. More frequent cleaning
may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, pet hair, etc. It is imperative that
the control compartments, burners and circulating air
system be kept clean.
WARNING: Turn off gas and electrical power before
servicing appliance.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air
opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting
and property damage.
WARNING: The logs can be hot. Handle only when
cool.
PILOT AND BURNER
• Remove logs and ember material before cleaning burner and replace
when cleaning is complete.
• Burner and controls should be cleaned with compressed air to
remove dust, dirt or lint.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled brush to remove excess
dust, dirt or lint.
LOGS
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to log placement information
on
Pages 14-15
to properly replace logs.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any carbon buildup on logs.
• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement Parts,
Page 29
.
• Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replacement Parts,

INSPECT VENTING SYSTEM
The appliance and venting system should be thoroughly inspected
before initial use and at least annually by a qualifi ed service techni-
cian (inspection should include ensuring that venting system is
unobstructed and vent components are properly assembled and not
damaged). Homeowner must contact a qualifi ed service technician
at once if any abnormal condition is observed.
If the venting system is disassembled for any reason, a qualifi ed ser-
vice technician should follow vent installation instructions for proper
reassembly and proper sealing of the venting system components.
