Inspecting the glass gasket
Visually inspect the gasket on the backside of the glass door. The gasket surface must be clean, free of irregularities,
and seated firmly.
Cleaning the control compartment
Keep the control compartment clean by vacuuming or brushing it out at least twice a year. More frequent cleaning
may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, et cetera. It is imperative that control
compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
Touching up paint in small areas
Only use a factory-supplied paint kit for any touch-ups. Paint is available at your local IHP dealer. Never attempt to paint
a hot fireplace. Do not attempt to repaint the fireplace until the finish is completely cured (
Burn-in Period on
Page 55
).
If the surface becomes stained or marred, it may be lightly sanded and touched up.
Glass Media
Removing and cleaning the glass media

before reinstalling.
Reinstalling the glass media
Carefully follow the placement instructions (

Improper positioning of media can create carbon build-up and will alter the performance of the fireplace
NOTE:
It is important to ensure proper glass media placement per the manual when installing these units.. Verify

ports are free of debris.
NOTE:
Improper positioning of media can create carbon build-up and will alter the performance of the fireplace.
