CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
INSPECTING BURNERS
WARNING: Turn off fireplace and let cool before
cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner
and circulating air passageways of fireplace clean.
Inspect these areas of fireplace before each use. Have
fireplace inspected yearly by a qualified service person.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air
opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting
and property damage.
BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with
the gas. This provides a clean burning flame. Keep these holes clear
of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air inlet holes prior to each
heating season. Blocked air holes will create soot. We recommend
that you clean the unit every three months during operation and have
fireplace inspected yearly by a qualified service person.
We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot assembly
clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend
using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local computer
store, hardware store or home center may carry compressed air in
a can. If using compressed air in a can, please follow the directions
on the can. If you don’t follow directions on the can, you could dam
-
age the ignitor.
1. Shut off the unit. Allow the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, air shutter and orifice for dust and dirt (see Figure
30).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.
4. Check the orifice located at the end of the burner tube again. Remove
any large particles of dust, dirt, lint or pet hair with a soft cloth or
vacuum cleaner nozzle.
5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector holder.
6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed into the
burner repeat steps 3 and 4 above.
BURNER PRIMARY AIR HOLES
Air is drawn into the burner through the holes in the fitting at the
burner entrance. These holes may become blocked with dust or lint.
Periodically inspect these holes for any blockage and clean if needed.
Blocked air holes will create soot.
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with the fireplace running.
Some burner flame holes may become blocked by debris or rust, with
no flame present. If so, turn off fireplace and let cool. Remove blockage.
Blocked burner flame holes will create soot.
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your fireplace
could produce increased levels of carbon monoxide.
NOTICE: Do not mistake orange flames with yellow
tipping. Dirt or other fine particles enter the fireplace
and burn causing brief patches of orange flame.
Burner flames will be steady, not lifting or floating. Flame patterns will
be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on installation
type and weather conditions. This can be dangerous. Inspect flames
after installation to ensure proper installation and performance.
If burner flame pattern differs from that described:
• turn fireplace off (see
To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 14)
• see
Troubleshooting, page 17
REPLACING LIGHT BULB
Light assembly is located underneath the burner assembly (see page
24 for reference).
1. Unplug power supply.
2. Remove access door (Figure 22, page 12).
3. Remove glass panel if installed (Figure 25, page 13).
4. Remove rear interior panels (Figure 19, page 11).
5. Remove glass Pebbles.
6. Remove six screws holding the pebble pan (see item #17 on
page 22 for reference).
7. Using a small slotted screw driver, carefully slide it under the
edge of light bulb cover and pry it open. Pull burned out bulb
and replace.
8. Replace all in reverse order.
