Cleaning Your Heater
!
Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional gold surface may become etched in place if they are
not wiped clean prior to turning the stove on. Clean the gold with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth.
¥
With the heater cool, use denatured alcohol and a soft cloth to clean gold surfaces. Other cleaners
may leave a film that may become etched into the gold.
Yearly Service Procedure
!
Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially
dangerous situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
1
Check the pilot flame. It should engulf approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermocouple (see
illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
2
Shut off gas to the heater by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the
Pilot" on page 20). Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Open the door (see step c on page 15).
3
Remove the logs, twigs and embers (see page 17 -
NOTE: the logs are fragile
). If any log is
cracked or deteriorated, replace it when re-installing. Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of
soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting is found, the heater will require
adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4
Clean the burner pan (especially in the burner holes and slots) and inspect the following:
¥
Check for burner pan holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded.
¥
Make sure the burner pan assembly fits flat against the floor of the firebox.
¥
Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.
If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
Check the burner
holes and slots.
Make sure the
burner pan seals
against the floor
of the firebox.
Check the walls and
ceiling of the firebox
for deterioration.

Replace the log set. Inspect the glass gasket. If it is deteriorated, replace. It may be re-attached to
the glass using high-temperature gasket cement. If the glass is damaged, replace it.
6
Check the gas control valve and all of the gas lines. If any damage is found, discontinue use and
contact your dealer for service.
